The Vision 56 and Vision 44 is a breakthrough in freeride design.

Its innovative rail, taken from surfboard technology, gives the Vision insane edge-to-edge looseness and drive. Designed to gain speed when on the rail, this feature also gives the boat extra bite while carving. Not only does the Velocity rail create a forgiving edge, it also enhances the performance by giving water a channel down the side of the boat as well as a surfboard rail to help hold its carve, said designer and world-class freestyle kayaker Shane Benedict. At first glance, the Vision looks like it might be hard to handle; however, by tucking the rail in a full inch and flaring the sidewalls for a rounded rather than flat profile, Shane gave the boat incredible secondary stability for hole play. He then added slicey ends that make cartwheeling in a hole or on the flats super easy. The Vision excels in any arena, be it park-n-play or playing your way downstream. A big forward leap in whitewater design, this edge/rail technology makes even the smallest waves fun again.

When I first started working on this concept, said Shane, I was confident I could develop a high performance boat. But what I wanted was a super high performance boat that anyone could handle. If you didn’t see the rail first, you wouldn’t know it was there until you got on a wave.

Well, Shane, looks like you got exactly what you wished for, and so did the rest of us!

The Bigfoot maintains the same hull and deck except for the foot bumps which were raised nearly an inch. Which creates a ton of extra room. I already have had several people check the boat out that couldn't fit in the Vision before. If you couldn't quite get in or get comfy before you should give it another shot.
