Wenonah Fusion, Kevlar Ultralight

This is our Kevlar ultralight Wenonah Fusion, just 29 lbs.  Fusion is designed for outstanding stability. This is the most stable Kevlar solo canoe you can buy.The web seat is mounted at the perfect level and there's an adjustable footbrace which provides stability as well as greater leverage for single blade paddling, or double-bladed paddling. The Wenonah Fusion is a uniquely designed solo canoe blending the best features of both a canoe and kayak for recreation paddling. For most of our customers the Fusion is easy to keep going straight on the lake since it has a straight keel and long waterline for its size, but super easy to turn on a stream or other compact areas. Seating in the Fusion is higher off the bottom compared to a kayak or pack boat where you're on the floor and at water level.  Compared to lots of canoes the seating in a Fusion is lower, so you have a lower center of gravity and lots of stability. A backrest is a popular option in the Fusion for added comfort and relaxation.Paddling Extra stable, Fusion can be paddled with a double or single blade paddle and its foot-controlled rudder option makes maneuvering or tracking in wind a snap.The padded high back seat comes standard and allows for hours of comfort out on the water.Fusion responds well when used with a traditional single blade, or a double blade paddle (such as our 260cm double blade) for improved performance on calm water or better control in inclement weather.Fusion is lighter than any kayak of comparable length and when paddled with a double blade, easily outperforms a kayak of similar size.MUCH Lighter, quicker, and more maneuverable than any fishing kayaks, the Fusion Angler also runs drier and holds more gear while keeping all that gear readily accessible.The Fusion Angler is outfitted for personal accessorization of rod holders and storage trays for a truly customized craft. Rudder is optional.
