According to the European regulation concerning the small boats, the Hobie Kona is a beach boat of
less than 4 meters long and exclusively powered by human energy.
The Hobie Lanai is allowed to paddle up to a limit of 00 meters from the shore.
Any use beyond 00 meters off the shore is strictly forbidden.
The Hobie Lanai can be used with one-piece or two-piece double paddles.
It is strongly recommended to observe the following safety tips and in particular :
Consult your physician prior to beginning paddle/pedal sports
Always wear a E.C. approved personal flotation device.
Dress appropriately for weather conditions, cold water and / or weather can result in hypothermia
Never paddle alone, inform someone on land of your intention to go paddling
Always tie a leash to your paddle
Do not paddle in flood conditions
Care must be made to ensure that the access hatches on your kayak remain closed while on the
water. Water can enter a hatch that is left open and possibly flood the hull, making the boat unsta-
ble or cause inadequate flotation for the passengers.
Be aware of appropriate river water levels, tidal changes, dangerous currents, obstacles in and
above the water and weather changes. Hobie kayaks were not designed for fast moving waters.
DO NOT use alcohol or mind-altering drugs prior to or while using this product.
Before leaving, always check the hull, that the hatches are closed and verify your equipments.
