Unique Features Of
Your Hobie Kayak

Sit-on-top Design

The Hobie kayak open top
cockpit allows the paddler to
enter and exit the kayak easily
from the shore, dock or water.
Scupper hole(s) make the kayak
self-bailing. The design also
eliminates the need to perform
an Eskimo roll (advanced Kayak
technique). The contoured seat
may be fitted with an adjustable
backrest for added comfort. The
multiple footwells allow you to
adjust your seating position.

Hull Design

The long center keel area
encourages boats to track
straight when paddling and
coasting. The wider shoulder
area of the hulls ride high at the
surface of the water without
compromising speed under
moderate paddling conditions.

If the kayak is fully loaded with
gear or is being paddled and
braced in rough conditions, the
shoulder areas provide
secondary buoyancy and
stability. Maneuverability without
the aid of a rudder is
accomplished by incorporating
enough rocker to make turning
easy while still tracking well.

Scupper Hole(s)

Drain holes (scuppers) in the
cockpit allow any water that
enters the cockpit to flow back
out immediately.

Graphics

Graphics are molded into the
kayaks, assuring you that they
will not peel or flake off for the
life of the boat.
