The International Class Evolved!
Fusion
303cm long x 60.25cm wide Volume 220litres 115kgs approximate maximum paddler weight Introducing the Fusion, a surf kayak that blends high performance features with the classic design of the International Class of Surfkayaks. The key to this kayak's success is its sharp rails, which provide maximum bite and drive for ultimate control. With concave sides that maintain volume and increase hold, you can confidently ride even the most hollow waves.
To enhance tail release, we've incorporated a diamond tail that shortens the rail line and creates a natural break line for effortless water shedding. The diamond's tip adds stability, while a gently channeled V hull tail provides added maneuverability.
Designed with both comfort and performance in mind, the Fusion is the game changer the international class has been waiting for. Featuring deck features for added strength and design, this surf kayak is a force to be reckoned with.
Key Design Features:
- Diamond tail
- Sharp rails
- Channeled V hull tail
- Comfort and performance-oriented seating position
- Deck features for strength and design
Designed in collaboration with Jem Howe

Reviews
I designed the Fusion to be an International Class kayak that I’d enjoy paddling in a wide range of conditions. I wanted speed and drive, but also a boat I could trust when the waves got bigger and more powerful.
My first proper test of a brand-new Fusion was at the 2019 World Championships. It was a demanding place to get to know a new boat, but I felt comfortable in it quickly and finished 2nd in IC. The Fusion carried speed well across the wave and gave me the confidence to commit to turns without feeling like I was fighting the boat.
What I like most is the balance. It feels quick and responsive, but remains predictable when you need to make a decision in a hurry. That matters to me in competition, where a boat has to do more than feel fast on a perfect wave.
I’m obviously biased because I designed and built it, but I’m also the person who has to paddle it when the heat starts. I’m really pleased with how the Fusion performs, and I’m looking forward to spending much more time in it.
Such a fun boat to surf. Long drawn out turns or fast sharp cut backs. This boat really excels and is my favourite long boat I’ve surfed to date
Pure Joy, happiness and maximum wave count🙏
I’ve had my fusion for about 3 years, very comfortable boat for a heavier paddler, very fast and fun, and easy to roll. Twin fins option worth considering for bigger surf.
This boat brings a lot of happiness and joy! Very forgiving for any paddler!
