Their Mother Was A Sailboat. Their Father
Was A Surfboard.
For years now, the Hobie design team has been
kayak-obsessed. They began tinkering with kayaks a few years
ago. Lighter, faster, and easier to use were the key ingredients.
It's amazing what you can do with polyethylene these days. In
fact, in every one of the lightweight, roto-molded kayak hulls
Hobie has managed to fit in 30 years of advanced nautical knowledge
that no other company can. Your ride is stable with a perfectly
balanced center-of-effort. Hobie's proprietary computer-aided
design lets Hobie Kayaks track straighter and as a result, they
fly like hydrodynamic torpedoes. Have a seat. More specifically,
Hobie's ergonomically designed, fatigue-reducing, self-draining
seat. The seats, by design, are comfort zones that are positioned
to actually reduce pressure points on your legs. They're also
positioned above the footwells to keep you dry. Each kayak comes
with a forward-draining system that lets Hobie use fewer scuppers
for better performance. Hobie Kayaks are light and entirely
car-toppable. All of which means you can see the world in a
Hobie Kayak. And leave the world behind. Contact Sunset
Sailboat Company Inc. for more information.
Hobie Pursuit is so durable it's
been referred to as a "44-pound battleship". The Hobie Pursuit
is a fast, sleek, easy-to-handle, sit-on-top kayak. The roto-molded
polyethylene hulls are sturdy and stable, and track just as
straight and true through glassy lake surfaces as ocean chop.

Hobie Mirage is kayaking's first
full-body workout. Paddling meets pedaling. Hobie has crossed
a roto-molded polyethylene, sit-on-top kayak, with a bicycle.
The brains of the Hobie Mirage are right at your feet. In
the form of Hobie's patent pending Hydro-Sail Drive propulsion
system. Now you can pedal your kayak faster and farther. The
Hobie Mirage also gives you choice. You can paddle it alone
as a conventional kayak, pedal-drive it alone as a leg machine,
or pedal and paddle and turn your little kayak into a jet
boat. In pedal mode, steering is handled by an easy-to-operate,
easy-to-reach, hull-mounted handle that works in tandem with
the remote control kick-up rudder. All of which you can run
from the comfort of Hobie's four-batten seat. Ahh, the joys
of kayaking. With a wake!
