The Hobie i11s combines the company’s Vantage Seating System comfort with their patented MirageDrive featuring Glide Technology propulsion. Unique to the i11s is its distinctive low-profile design that lets anglers cross over to standup paddleboarding.
The i11 is the lightest weight model in the entire Hobie fleet. Two air chambers on each side and the drop-stitched center chamber provide the stability needed for recreational use. For increased tracking and stability and to change it from a kayak to a standup paddleboard, a fin is included that can be inserted into the built-in slot on the bottom of the hull. Bungee tie-downs in the rear hold Hobie’s new optional H-Crate for fishing gear or a cooler with food and drink for a relaxing day on the water. The skid pad in front of the seat lets more adventurous anglers stand up and cast.
This new model will cause double takes on the water with the standout two-tone mango and slate blue hull and flooring. Vantage CTi high-back padded seats offer multiple points of adjustments and the comfort of breathable mesh specially designed for the inflatable collection. They can also be easily removed and used as beach chairs. A newly engineered finger-tip rudder control can be quickly switched to either side for use with either hand. All these new features are combined with Hobie’s MirageDrive propulsion system.
