"It´s amazing what you can do with polyethylene these days. In fact, in every one of our lightweight, roto-molded kayak hulls we´ve managed to fit in 30 years of advanced nautical knowledge that no other company can. The lines are sleek and graceful... Your ride is stable with a pefectly balanced center-of-effort. Our proprietary computer-aided design lets Hobie Kayaks track straighter and as a result, they fly like hydrodynamic torpedoes." - Hobie Kayak Catalogue
Benefits of the Hobie MirageDriveTM
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.
New to the MirageDrive lineup is the Pro Angler one of the world´s lightest, most efficient, featured-filled boats on the market today. A revolutionary design breakthrough with extraordinary stability. It has everything you need to maximize your angling experience without sacrificing comfort, functiionality or storage capabilities. The Pro Angler comes loaded with features that puts it in a class by itself. With a capacity of over 600lbs., you can bring it all. Protected horizontal storage for up to six rods and two additional vertical rod holders. Apace for 13 Plano® tackle boxes, three in-hull storage compartments, plus an additional large on-deck storage area for an optional livewell or cooler. You get a fully-adjustable, breathable Cool Ride seat, a work area/cutting board and replaceable mounting boards on each side to attach your fish finder, GPS, lights, or downriggers.
