Wave Sport is proud to introduce the FUSE 35, a river-running playboat tested by and designed specifically for smaller paddlers including kids.
The FUSE 35 blends excellent river running characteristics with high performance play features, effectively ‘fusing’ the best features found in a river-running boat with the best features found in a playboat.
The FUSE 35’s volume distribution and low cockpit rim gives paddlers the opportunity to begin their whitewater paddling career at an early age. As paddlers grow and their skills develop, the FUSE 35 transforms from a river runner to a high performance playboat.
The FUSE features a unique version of Wave Sport’s legendary hull design, which offers excellent user-friendliness and river-running speed along with an extremely loose and fast feel on waves. Volume distribution of the FUSE provides a roomy, comfortable space for the paddler, enhanced control in river-running situations, and more ‘pop’ for modern playboating moves, such as loops and airwheels.

Great Kids boat!
My son Ben, age 9, is a fairly new paddler with class II skills and experience on the Yough, and South Fork of the American mostly. He has been paddling a Dagger Dynamo and has also paddled the Fun 1. He demo'd a Fuse on the lower Yough for 4 days, and the new ASCI ww course in WISP in MD. Within his first hour of being in the boat he learned to roll ( a skill which had eluded him in the Fun and the Dynamo). It's a great river runner for my son's size, much less pushy in features than the Fun (at least for my kid). He was able to manever quite well in technical low water conditions, and also get good surfs. THe thing I really like about this boat too, is that as my son grows for the next couple of years he won't grow out of this boat...it will become his playboat.
Outfitting is on the spare side (no bulkhead/foot pets) but we slapped some happy feet in and that worked fine
I think this is agreat boat to compete with the Fun series! Dagger has been putting out kids boats for years, wavesport did the Evo and now the Fuse. So-- Pyrahna, Liquid Logic, and the rest, when are you going to step up with a boat designed for kids.
