We have the New 2021 Fury 10 offering great tracking and stability with its extra length and width. This a sit-on-top kayak to feel good in with its comfortable adjustable aluminium seat and foot rests you can paddle for hours with ease. Thanks to two integrated rod holders and a swivelling detachable rod holder in the middle of the kayak, it is also a great catch for anglers. Three spacious hatches offer a dry place for provisions, fishing & camping gear and a change of clothes. If the paddle is not needed, it can be attached to the built in paddle holder. Deck lines, four carry handles and side gear tracks finish this great new generation kayak appearance and practicality.
