Customised Outfitting your Mirage Sea Kayaks

Mirage Sea Kayaks have had nearly 30 years of kayak building experience. We have evolved over this time to stay with the changing trends of paddlers needs and believe we have a solid outfitting of standard features.

If you then combine these features with the many additional options that are available, a Mirage Sea Kayak can see you through every level of your paddling life.

Knee / Thigh Brace

​

The Mirage range of kayaks have keyhole style cockpits allowing leg entry whilst the paddler is seated, without being unnecessarily big. Coamings are deeply recessed to assist with waterproofing around the spray deck.

We also offer the option of having knee / thigh braces installed to assist in additional control with your drive, lateral movements and rolling.

The cockpit rim and knee / thigh braces are also available in 100% Clear Coat Carbon - too save you a little bit of weight.

Carry Toggles

​

The Mirage hand-made carry toggles have been an option for over 25 years and create an convenient lifting point that is very strong. If you are a paddler that feels at home in rough water, then you should get a surf toggle; meaning the nylon cord is stitched and wrapped, so you can't get a finger caught inside of the loop.

Seats

​

Contoured, supportive, ergonomic seat - available in X-small or Standard.

Another advantage of a locally made kayak is the opportunity to have the correct seat size fitted. It is important for a paddler to be “connected” to the kayak and one of the key areas is in a correct fitting seat. Mirage offers a choice of two seat sizes, which fit across the entire Mirage kayak range, to ensure maximum comfort for the paddler at all times.

The Mirage seats are also available in 100% clear-coat Carbon IRT - you will be able to save about 500 grams from our fibreglass seats. We now can supply the SilverStorm Foam seat, saving you even more weight. - Click here to visit our special SEAT section

Mirage Kayaks can be ordered with a factory fitted electric bilge pump including a waterproof box for the battery. The pump is located behind the seat with the sealed battery mounted separately in the day hatch. A waterproof switch is positioned in a recess beside the paddler’s hip, protected by a stainless steel bridge.

Most Mirage owners only need to put their battery on charge every three months as it will empty the full cockpit area of water at least 13 times over. The electric bilge pump will allow a paddler to empty a full cockpit of water in a very short period of time rated at 1890 Litres per hour (10 litres takes approximately 20 seconds) (a Double pump comes with a bigger battery)

​

– A well maintained pump is an important safety feature.

You can order the full kit, pump only, replacement batteries and even a recharger.

M I R A G E  LD Plate

Carbon Reinforced

​

LD equals Leg Drive and this is a crucial component for paddle performance and power input per stroke. The LD plate allows for maximum foot support, for full leg drive.

The carbon reinforcement on the plate and pedals make the entire unit very stiff and therefore allows for direct transmission of the power from your legs into paddle stroke energy.

The plate extends to the hull of your kayak  - All of our LD PLATES are Carbon stiffened and well tested to gives your paddle stroke a boost with each leg drive.

The Mirage LD Plate comes rigged up with the forward cables and hardware so you can quickly connect to your pedal flanges and rudder cable.

​

The standard LD Plate has an ALL WHITE front however it is Carbon reinforced. You can also buy an LD Plate with a CARBON CLEAR Front - same stiffness as the other plates, however looks so very nice!
