Nice! Now I'm definitely gonna have to switch to the dark side.

I dig camo, it's much more stealthy!

Can't believe they finally decided to go with a camo pattern! Looks pretty good though, I'm sure it looks even better when going in reverse.

Hobie is finally feeling some heat...a lot of new drive kayaks hitting the market. Competition drives change...hopefully one of those changes will be more competitive affordable pricing across the board for next year.

True that! Only about 3 more years left on their patent for the mirage drive.

Wow didn't know that...I heard native made a big mistake not patenting the peddle drive now look...everyone is making one. This competition is great for the sport. I don't have a hobie but I heard the design of the boat could be better. A great kayak should not revolve around just a drive. Who wants to paddle around a pa for fun? Might as well get a john boat. Hopefully materials will get stronger and lighter to include surfability for longer kayaks without nose diving etc the kreken was cool with seat adjustment to shift weight to the rear for landings. I can't wait to finally get a drive kayak...i waste soak time transiting to spots

Camo outback is going to cost you an extra $150.........BUT it comes with turbo fins and sailing rudder............so it really is like getting the camo for FREE

I dig it.

Sweet, when will they be available? Can always use a third Hobie.
