Add sail power to Hobie Mirage Kayaks!
(Fits all current models of Hobie Mirage Kayaks).
The Patented MirageDrive pedal system allows you to pedal while sailing which helps you to maintain forward motion through turns and obtain higher speeds. Sail with ease maintaining excellent speed with or without pedaling while sailing. Easily pedal out to sail or pedal home when the wind is too light. Add a SideKick ama kit for additional stability if desired. Hobie Mirage Kayaks . . .the only kayaks that can do it all
Paddle kayaks do not have the necessary lateral resistance needed nor do they typically have a rudder for steering. Paddle kayaks require hands-on paddling which prohibits use of rudder and sail controls for sailing. The MirageDrive pedal system allows you to pedal out onto the water to sail and pedal back if needed. You can also pedal the boat through a tack (turn). The MirageDrive pedal system’s fins act as a keel or centerboard when in the down position offering the lateral resistance needed for upwind sailing. Hobie Mirage kayaks are equipped with a hand-controlled rudder. The MirageDrive allows hands to be free for sail and rudder controls. Two piece mast, sail, hardware, lines and durable storage bag included. Add the large rudder #81397001 for more responsive rudder control. Adventure models can add the dagger board for enhanced upwind performance.

Whether you are a pro or a novice, you will enjoy the sense of security from the extra amount of stability offered by the SideKick ama kit. Great for use when sailing, fishing, standing when site fishing, shooting photos! The SideKick ama kit is simple, light weight and effective! The SideKick’s cross arms adjust the float height with a simple “click-twist-click”. Just like a paddle shaft adjustment. Three positions offer you high - medium - low positions. Set the floats high for cruising (less drag) or secondary stability. Use the medium or low settings for primary stability (less initial roll). Fine adjustments for float height are done by twisting the main crossbar within its mounts and tensioning with the fastening hardware. Set up and use right off the beach or disassemble and deflate to store inside the hull. Then assemble and inflate when you get to your dive or fishing spot. Inflation is simple. Just blow a few breaths into each float through their one-way valves. Valve cap unscrews for rapid deflation. Installs with 4 bolts using expanding nuts.

The Hobie Dodger is a spray, cool breeze or sun shade for your lower body. Deflect bow waves and spray. Block cool breezes and stay warmer in cold conditions. Fits the Hobie Mirage Outback, Sport and Adventure kayaks (May fit other models with some modification to hardware
placement). Works like a small pop-up tent. Loops of bungee connect to the boat via small fittings installed along the rails. Small internal battens give the Dodger its shape. The Dodger extends aft to just in front of the pedaler. A Velcro strip seals up the center in front of the pedaler. The entire dodger folds forward to enter or exit the kayak, to make pedal adjustments or reach items in the cockpit. Incredible for bird and animal watching as the motion of your legs, when using the MirageDrive, is hidden from view. The Camo version is made from Mossy Oak’s Shadow Grass TM pattern. Great for hunters and bird watchers as the Dodger conceals your legs movement. An access panel is built-in for using the sailing rig. A great combination when there is wind and spray! The Hobie Dodger makes your kayak a sit-inside sit-on-top! Installs in minutes initially, but installs in moments once the fasteners are in place. Packs away into a small stow bag 5” round by 24” long (1.8 lbs).

Hobie Bimini sun shade (*Requires mount)
We all love the sun, but it can be a bit much at times. Protect yourself with a Hobie Bimini Sun Shade. The Bimini is easily attached to any Hobie Kayak. With the Hobie mount installed, a simple flick of a finger can attach, adjust or remove the Bimini. It can be easily folded out of the way or set up to block the sun. Simple adjustments can tilt the shade from side to side or to different heights and angles for best protection from the sun’s rays. Requires Hobie mount. The Hobie Mount will attach to just about any kayak. It extends or retracts for a perfect fit.

Mount fits all Hobie models and most other kayaks (3 piece expandable). Attaches with included (4) bolts and expanding nuts.
Standard fins & ST Performance fins, ST or ST Turbo
ST FINS ...and you thought the Hobie MirageDrive was the most amazing propulsion system ever seen! Now you can make your Hobie MirageDrive a SUPER PERFORMER! Hobie Mirage kayak users report as much as 10% increase in speed and more using ST TURBO Fins. But its not all about speed, you can get top end speed and a slower cadence for cruising (Less pedals per mile). All achieved with these larger and more efficient fin designs. Increase your performance or increase your fitness routine, you choose the fin that is right for you: Standard, ST or ST Turbo... low, medium or a higher gear! The standard fins, supplied with our kayaks, are the easiest pedaling fins, but many users feel that the standard fins do not offer enough resistance. This is very evident when using our sailing kits.
The added power and speed
of the sail often outpaces the standard fins (similar to pedaling a bike down hill in first gear). Want to go really fast? Add the ST TURBOs for sailing! The longer fins can also increase lateral resistance for sailing upwind. These ST (Square Tip) designs will require a bit more effort to pedal. The added effort is commonly compared to pedaling a bike up a slight incline. In addition, the included fin tension screw allows adjustment to achieve lower end torque or top end speed to meet the desires of the pedaler. ST Fins fit any Hobie MirageDrive. If you prefer the ST fin, order 2 per drive. The ST TURBO fins require longer masts. The ST TURBO fin kit comes with 2 fins, 2 masts and all needed fittings.
