    Hobie Mirage Lynx is significantly lighter than the Hobie Outback, Vibe Shearwater, & of course the Hobie Pro Angler. The Lynx is built more durable than any other pedal kayak I have seen by using Ace-Tec construction. The Lynx has a foam core which prevents water from getting into the hull and it makes the deck incredibly rigid. Lynx is going to be very popular with kayak rental businesses due to stackable design, unsinkable design, performance, and DURABILITY!

    We test drove the lynx as well as three other hobie peddle kayaks at the same location. The Hobie lynx was outstanding. We loved everything about it. Lightweight, easy to peddle, turned quickly and easily, and has reverse. We added our name to the wait list for 2 lynx kayaks but may have to wait a couple months as they are currently not available in our market.

    This is friggin' awesome! They really put some thought into the design. The fact that you don't have to worry about snapping your rudder off in shallow water is so key. The seat and pedal controls look really comfortable also. Would love to take it out for a test ride and catch some fish. Have a good fellas, CHEERS!

      As always, I never know how I would fit on/in things that are made for 'average' sized folks?! In the video, it was stated that the pedals are adjustable for different leg sizes?! How much adjustment? I'm 6' 5" tall and had a hell of a time finding a 'sit in' sea-kayak that would fit my 36" inseam. Please elaborate on the length of adjustment of the pedals and the height range of folks that this boat may fit. Thanks.

Maybe I will see you on the water. You should take your new Lynx to Manatee Park in the winter months....lots of manatees and tons of fun. Also a road trip up to Silver Springs to paddle with monkeys and manatees is a must. ENJOY!

      If you don’t know how to setup an LLC or other business stuff just ask. We used ZenBusiness to get our LLC set up. Took maybe 30mins to apply. Cost was about $275. Then need to sign up with your state department of revenue for sales tax. I collect 6% sales tax for Florida and 0.5% tax for my county (6.5% total). I pay sales tax quarterly. Then you need to see if your city has a business tax receipt that has to be paid to conduct business in the area (mine was $76 annually). Shop around for insurance options. Those vary by location. Make up liability form. Website is important but best advertising is a free Google business listing which puts you on maps and allows folks to write reviews.

      Titanic had bulkheads with empty air space.....Lynx has foam core. Titanic failed because enough water could enter the hull to sink it via failed bulkhead compartments. Lynx absolutely could never get enough water into the hull to sink it. It will always remain positively buoyant. However, I understand the skepticism and I certainly take notes from history. haha

    Nice boat, I want to see it preform in 2-3 foot waves. Not everywhere you go is glass smooth on the surface. Please repost with some wave action, and how it handles fishing in a slight chop. So much more to demo, the trolling motor overall performance, the anchor system, and demo how it sails. Demo transporting it with the wheel carrier system and carrying the boat by hand. Thank you.

    I had a Hobie Revolution 13 and loved it, so did my son so I gave it to him, it was great for working my legs after I was injured while in the military I miss it and wish I had one we can kayak together with. This tech just blows my mind though. I can't afford another as I'm retired now. Great video thanks so much for sharing.

    I kayak numerous times a year and love a comfortable open kayak seat, tank well and dry storage. I'm recreational and want to bring beverages, snacks and some extra sunscreen and towels. The Hobie Mirage Lynx is a miracle in water sports. Paddle boards seem like a lot of work but this kayak is a perfect hybrid of exercise, comfort and ease without getting too tired or bummed your so far and can't get back without some back breaking labor. I want a Hobie Mirage Lynx!!

      Yeah, not for me. It's an outstanding machinery however it defeats the purpose of the exercise. If I want to pedal, I take out my road bike and do a ride. If I want to row, I take out my kayak and start rowing. Different types of movements. Still nice to see it though :)

      So is a kayak unless you get in a really good first whack with your paddle. If a gator tips you over in a Kayak, he'll be happy to just take a big bite of your upper torso, maybe just remove your intestines. Kayak of any design is not a good choice for gator occupied water unless you have a death wish. You need some gunnel height.
