"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. "

  Each of our Hobie Mirage Sport, Outback, Adventure and Outfitter models has Hobie's 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.Steering? The Hobie Mirage steering controls are positioned at arm's length, giving precise control of the flip and stow rudder. 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.Not Only that an optional Sail Kit gives you extra fun! 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. Sportsmen (and women) will find that the many options provided in the fishing and hunting models provide for an ultimate outdoor experience like no other!

Benefits of the Hobie MirageDrive
The MirageDrive is simple and easy to use. Your feet rest naturally on the pedals and you pedal effortlessly similar to a bicycle. The larger muscles in our legs produce more powerful propulsion versus arms using a paddle. In addition, correct paddle usage requires training and practice. You also stay drier as pedaling eliminates drips that you get from using a paddle. The MirageDrive is quiet and creates no splash. The Hobie MirageDrive leaves your hands free for fishing, photography or holding a drink.
