Summer fun: The Hobie Cat

Hobie’s legendary catamaran, the Hobie Cat, has been providing adrenaline-induced fun for water junkies for over 40 years. But if screaming through the surf zone at breakneck speed with one pontoon pointing precariously skyward seems a tad extreme, don’t sweat. Thanks to their new range of rotomoulded polyethylene kayaks – all fi tted with Hobie’s revolutionary MirageDrive pedalling system – you’re sure to fi nd a derivative that’s perfect for you.

We check out their MirageDrive and three models from their extensive range to whet your appetite...
