About the design of your kayak

The Hobie Kayaks are «sit-on-top»

You are sitting on your kayak without being locked up inside. 

Hobie kayaks are open-top cockpit designs. This allows

the kayaker to enter and exit the kayak easily from the

shore, dock or water and to navigate in safe conditions.

Self bailing cockpit

Scupper holes make the kayak selfbailing. No longer need to 

empty water over-board, it is automatically evacuated!

Décorations sur les coques

Graphics are molded into the kayaks, so they will not peel

or flake off for the life of the boat.

The Polyethylene

Continuing Hobie’s tradition of offering the latest in

technology at an affordable price, your new kayak is made

of rotomolded Polyethylene. Polyethylene offers a major

advantage because it is virtually indestructible under normal

use. Being somewhat flexible, it gives on impact and

derives its stiffness from compound curves. Polyethylene is

very abrasion-resistant and repairable.

Recycling

As a company responsible for the environment, Hobie Cat 

Europe takes into account in its production the life time of 

the boats. We have an environmental approach at all steps of 

the manufacturing process, including the recycling.

The Hobie Kayaks are 100 % recyclable.
