The World Is A Water Park, And Since 1950 Hobie has Made The Best Rides.
We’ve surfed. We’ve sailed. And to each sport, we’ve brought flat-out, live-fast, have-fun, adventure.
All of which is precisely what you get with each of our models of Hobie Kayaks. Of course, we’ve also brought something brilliantly new to the sport of kayaking: Pedals.
Each of our Hobie Mirage models has our patented MirageDrive pedaling system. Which will take you further, faster, with a huge emphasis on fun.
Here’s how the MirageDrive actually works: you pedal by stepping alternately left and right, not unlike an exercise stepper, to drive two underwater flippers. They work much like a penguin’s fins to propel the Hobie Mirage with surprising speed and ease. All of which lets you go into kayaking. Feet first.
Leave it to Hobie to make kayaks that fly: Each Hobie Kayak is a seamless, roto-molded, polyethylene torpedo. Sturdy. Stable. And indeed, swift. The result? boats that effortlessly, gracefully, glide.
It’s fast, it’s sleek, it reduces wetness: All our kayaks have a closed-deck design with self-draining scuppers and seats to keep you dry.
But wait, there’s more
Not only are Hobie Kayaks easy to paddle, they’re easy to pull. With sure-grip handles both fore and aft. For those rare moments when you’re not paddling, most models offer on-deck paddle storage. Our molded-in cup holders bring beverage service to the main cabin.
The Power of Hobie Mirage Drive
- The Miragedrive is easy to use, quiet and creates no splash.
- Leaves your hands free for fishing, photography or holding a drink.
- Your feet rest naturally on the pedals, for quick, effortless, back-and-forth motions.
- Much faster and more efficient than paddling.
- The large muscles in your legs produce more powerful propulsion verses using your arms on a paddled kayak.
- No annoying dripping water from a paddle.
