The Hobie name has long been synonymous with water sports, bringing to mind bright California beaches and sun-kissed surfing or sailing enthusiasts. With the advent of the MirageDrive, a pedal propulsion system, Hobie burst into the paddlesports market in the late ’90s and soon became a major player and influence. We caught up with Gero Priebe, Hobie Kayak Europe Sales and Marketing Manager, to learn more about this iconic brand and its goals for the future.

New for 2021, the Mirage iTrek 9 Ultralight inflatable is our lightest and most maneuverable pedal kayak. Packs away in a convenient roller/backpack bag that allows you to store it in smaller spaces like an apartment, RV or boat. Better yet, with a fitted weight of only 9KG, check it on a plane to your favorite travel destination. This inflatable transforms into a comfortable and maneuverable watercraft within minutes. The Mirage iTrek 9 Ultralight inflatable kayak is designed to help you reach remote waters with minimal hassle. Its diagonal dropstitch construction inflates to 10PSI, delivering the same rugged rigidity and nimble performance as our other platforms, but in an unbelievably lightweight package. Featuring the MirageDrive GT with Kick-Up Fins and intuitive rudder control, the iTrek 9 Ultralight can turn on its axis and navigate tight waterways with ease. The adjustable elevated seat is lined with breathable nano-mesh fabric, so you stay comfortable and cool no matter how long you’re on the water. The iTrek 9 Ultralight is fast, agile, and easily transportable - but we didn’t stop there. It’s versatile, too. Simply remove the MirageDrive and grab the three-piece SUP paddle and your iTrek 9 is ready to be used as a stand-up platform. We made it easy to use and even easier to transport. Comes with a high-pressure hand pump and high-volume electric pump and three-piece SUP paddle. Steering handle mounts on left or right side of the seat. Carries up to 160KG. Just add water!
