We are incredibly excited to announce that we are officially a
Hobie dealer! And wait until you see the innovative new products we
have brought into the store. About twenty years ago, Hobie
introduced a new line of kayaks that are propelled in a whole new
way. They have continued updating and perfecting these boats, and
now they have a fresh new product for this season that is truly
turning heads. The Mirage line of kayaks and boards allows you to
spend more time enjoying the summer sun and getting an entirely new
experience from your favorite watersports.
Mirage Eclipse
Imagine being able to work out your legs the way you would on a
Stairmaster machine, but while propelling yourself across the
water's surface. It hardly seems possible, but Hobie has pulled it
off with the Mirage Eclipse, the world's first paddleboard
propelled by foot pedals. The pedals are part of the highly
efficient MirageDrive system, which uses Glide Technology and
underwater blades that move side to side to pull your vessel
through the water. This system offers increased stability, while
also offering users a whole new type of workout. If you decide you
want to switch it up and give your legs a rest, you can use it like
a traditional paddleboard. Just remove the handlebar, lock the
rudder in place to act as a skeg, and paddle away.
Mirage Kayaks
The kayaks from Hobie are propelled in a similar way to
the Eclipse board. While seated normally in the kayak, you simply
use your feet and legs to pedal yourself through the water, with a
hand controlled rudder for easy steering. These kayaks offer a
wonderful alternative for anyone who feels overwhelmed by the
amount of upper body strength needed to go on a long kayak trip.
While they allow you to use an entirely new muscle group, you still
have the option of paddling, as there are straps on the side of the
boat to carry your paddle along. This system allows everyone to
stay out on the water longer than they would otherwise, work a
variety of muscles, and get so much more out of those sunny summer
days. We carry the Sport, Oasis, and Revolution 11 and 13.
Mirage Fishing Kayaks
Both Hobie kayaks and paddle boards are ideal for fishing. They
are all incredibly stable, and some models of kayaks are built
specifically for fishing, with rod holders, raised seats, and extra
storage for tackle boxes. We carry the the Outback and the Pro
Angler 12 and 14, which are wider and perfect for fishing.
