TRIFUSE TECHNOLOGY

PERFORMANCE MATERIAL

Offering the highest level of hull performance, TriFuse Technology is a state-of-the-art Fusion of materials that deliver the optimal balance of weight and stiffness in polyethylene kayak construction. Experience a hull that is even quicker, truer and more responsive in pushier conditions. 

Only available in our Hydra 145 and Hydra 145 LV - Now paddlers can choose between the proven robustness of our single-layer SuperLinear high density polyethylene (HDPE) material or the additional stiffness of our new TriFuse technology. TriFuse Technology combines a foaming PE sandwiched between layers of our renowned SuperLinear HDPE.

 
  • Stiffest hull - exceptional shape retention under load delivers ultimate responsiveness and performance.
  • Optimal weight - delivers the highest performance at the same weight as single-layer construction.
ALL OTHER KAYAK FEATURES & OUTFITTING REMAIN THE SAME ON HYDRA 145 & 145 LV.

Unleash the performance

A complex hull shape and rocker profile are game changing and propel the Hydra into an arena of its own. By maximising the waterline, the Hydra hull provides impressive acceleration, top speed and glide. Keeping the width through its mid-section increases the length and straightness of chines and arms the Hydra with responsive control and handling.

Our TriFuse Technology unlocks the full potential of the Hydra hull for paddlers seeking ultimate performance... this is touring: Wave Sport style!

Sizing Options

Hydra -  145  /  145 LV

The Hydra 145 and Hydra 145 LV are a pair of sporty tourers with modern hull designs leading the way in the under 15’ arena.

At only a slightly reduced length, the Hydra 145 LV punches the same impressive combination of acceleration, top speed, tracking and handing that the Hydra 145 displays.  However, the notable difference in this Low Volume version is the closer fitting cockpit area with a reduced height around the knees - this gives better contact and control for the small to medium sized paddler.

By contrast, the increased height around the knees in the Hydra 145 - gives more room and comfort for the medium to large sized paddler.
