About Hobie Kayaks

Hobie Kayaks The World Is A Water Park, And Since 1950 Hobie's Made The Best Rides. From surf to sail to paddle. And to each sport, Hobie's brought flat-out, live-fast, have-fun, adventure. All of which is precisely what you get with each of their models of Hobie Kayaks. Of course, Hobie's also brought something brilliantly new to the sport of kayaking: Pedals.

Each of Hobie Kayaks Mirage models has their 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.

The Hobie Kayaks Mirage steering controls are positioned at arm's length, giving precise control of the kick-up rudder. Each Hobie Kayak is a seamless, roto-molded, polyethylene torpedo. Sturdy. Stable. And indeed, swift. The result? boats that effortlessly, gracefully, glide.
