Mirage 583 FreeRide Sea Kayak; - set your own line, create your own adventure.
The Mirage Sea Kayaks 583 series of open deck sea kayaks combine agility and speed, producing a whole new class of paddling: Freeride Sea Kayaking. The Freeride is ideal for the surf, harbours and estuaries, as well as offshore. The kayak's laid-back sculpted seat allows paddlers the freedom to tilt their torso back when catching waves.
With a long waterline and effective tracking, 583's are fast. They can also manage swell and broken waves easily. The drawn-out rocker allows 583's to pivot and manoeuvre effortlessly, making them high-performance surf craft as well.
Plenty of storage space makes daytrips or overnight stays easy, thanks to the tightly sealed, rear 90-litre oval hatch.
Perfect for:
• Freeride sea kayaking for long trips across larger sheltered waterways, inshore surf zones and even coastal or open ocean environments
• Small to large sized paddlers, to accommodate beginners and advanced paddlers alike.
