The Compass Duo comes with one MirageDrive 180 with forward and reverse plus one MirageDrive GT, both with Kick-Up Fins that retract on impact. Its 35 inch wide hull balances speed and stability, with ergonomic mesh seats, four H-Tracks for accessories, and storage above and below deck for two. A spring-loaded Kick-Up rudder folds flush for paddling or transport.
