Hobie believe that kayaking should be accessible, rewarding and-above all else-fun. For many kayakers, long hours of paddling can dampen their fun factor, and paddle splashes can startle fish and wildlife. So they asked a hard question: why labor to pull with your arms when it's infinitely more efficient to push with our legs?
The genius behind the Hobie MirageDrive's double-scissor action was developed by carefully studying how penguins swim. Their engineers realised that these amazing birds' efficient fin stroke was a perfect solution to powering your kayak. After countless hours of R&D and miles of on-the-water pedalling, the breakthrough design linked a pair of cockpit-mounted pedals to a set of powerful underwater fins that are constructed out of a flexible, durable plastic. When pedaled, the fins flex to assume the shape of a propeller blade, scissoring back and forth on both the front stroke and the back stroke, yeilding a smooth, efficient ride.
Hobie's innovative MirageDrive propelled kayaking into a brave new era by combining the ease and go-all-day endurance of flatland cycling with the joys of kayaking. Whether it's punching across an exposed patch of water, exploring new casting grounds, or nosing through a mangrove forest at sunset, Hobie's MirageDrive delivers snappy, reliable performance, confidence-inspiring power and all-day efficienty. But this is only one element of what makes kayaking, Hobie style, so sweet.
