A New Passport for Fun!

Hobie has just introduced the new Mirage Passport pedal-driven kayak, and we think it’s going to be a winner!

Ten-and-a-half feet in length, with a steady beam of 34 inches, the thermoformed polyethelene hull is capable of carrying up to 325 pounds. With bungee tie-downs fore and aft, a twist-closure hatch and two rod holders, this kayak will handle all the picnic lunches or other cargo you wish to carry.

At the heart of the Passport is Hobie’s own MirageDrive pedal system with ST fins underneath, and a cable-driven rudder system for easy steering. The pedal drives are designed to work without massive human effort, generating top speeds of almost six knots at an easy pedal rate. The Passport comes with an aluminum frame seat in mesh fabric thats light and comfortable.
