To say that I am excited about Sterling kayaks is an understatement. The Grand Illusion seems to be a perfect kayak for me for teaching overnight courses and guiding.   First and foremost, the Grand Illusion is meeting and exceeding my best expectations. By far, this is the best touring kayak I ever tried.

I love my Grand Illusion it is a class apart–Amazing performance–Outstanding Maneuverability Your slogan “Pure performance” is so true. In my humble opinion the Grand Illusion is in a different class. I had so much fun at Surge Narrows with the Grand Illusion.  Keep up the outstanding work Sterling!
