Latest news from Hobie

Spring sprung some surprises!

Monday, 11 September 2017 / Published in Hobie Fishing, Hobie News, Sunstate Hobie News

Not only did Hobie® release the new Mirage® Compass, they have also come out with a new range of colours, a ‘V2’ MirageDrive® 180, accessories and insignia! Slate blue, sea grass green and papaya orange have now made it onto the color chart in lieu of Caribbean blue and golden papaya – Ivory dune, camo and red hibiscus remain. Accessories include the new Pro Angler mounting boards and track system (as seen on Mirage Compass). While not in stock just yet, we are looking forward to seeing all the features soon.

The Pro Angler 17T has had a spike in popularity in recent weeks, the feature packed tandem kayak offers unbeatable space, stability and functionality – all whilst being propelled by the efficient MirageDrive 180. We love the fact they are receiving more attention, the versatility and value of these kayaks make the decision making process for most, very easy! 

Round 12 of the Hobie Kayak Bream Series makes its way to Forster, NSW this weekend for a two-day competition that is expected to tip the 100 angler mark. A favourite venue for many (mainly due to the heart-in-mouth oyster rack fishing), Forster offers a huge arena that holds some brute bream. Looking at the current entry list, it is great to see another Sunstate Hobie Fishing Team stacked lineup! To all those members fishing, we wish you all the best down there and remember that the ‘oyster rack love’ (scratches for those unaware) will ‘buff out’ 😉 Do us proud! We will be keeping our eyes glued to the live weigh-in at Hobie Fishing Australasia Facebook page.

Until next week

Tuesday, 05 September 2017 / Published in Hobie News, Mirage Kayaks, Sunstate Hobie News

Set your course with the new Mirage® Compass, the newest addition to Hobie’s fleet of award-winning kayaks.

Simplicity defined, its time-tested MirageDrive® pedal system with Glide Technology moves you easily through the water. Outfitted with a breathable mesh seat, the Compass offers maximum stability and an oversized cockpit and flat deck for standing. A sharp turning radius makes it nimble in tight quarters, yet able to speed over open water in stealthy fashion. Fishing features include molded-in rod holders, H-Track accessory mounts and a transducer cavity ready for you to install a Lowrance® fishfinder.

We will keep you up to date on when we can expect to see the Mirage Compass in store, in the meantime please visit http://www.sunstatehobie.com.au/hobie-mirage-series/ for more information.

Enjoying your Hobie Products in Winter

  • 0
Sunday, 18 June 2017 / Published in Hobie News

Winter should not stop you enjoying your water sports. In fact some of the best  boating conditions are experienced in winter. The winds are generally lighter, the seas and water ways flatter. But the most important rule about sailing or kayaking at this time of the year is to stay dry and stay warm. It might look sunny out there but a splash of water on you and then the wind chill factor reduces your core body temperature in no time at all and you want to go home. Or worse, the other person wants to go home because they didn’t invest in the right gear. The right protective clothing can be just as valuable than a good PFD, if not more because you will actually enjoy it benefits all year round rather than having to wait till your swimming and need the bouncy of the PFD.

To enjoy these conditions means wearing the right gear, and that gear has proven to be a combination of a light water proof layer of clothing that can be warn all year round and then the addition of thermal clothing underneath at this time of the year. The Kokatat Tempest Jacket combined with the matching socked pants keep you dry. They have been used now for many years by our members with no real wear or leaks. The Gill range was recommended to be warn underneath during the colder months, the combination of which keeps you both dry and warm and out there for longer having fun.

An added safety feature of the Gill Hydrophone is that they do not absorb much water, a very important point if you ever fall in, thicker pants like tracksuits absorb water and decrease your ability to stay on the surface with ease.. Thin Thermal products do not absorb so much water which does not decrease your buoyancy. 

As for quality, don’t settle for second best either, you pay for what you get with any good quality product and after 3 years of year round use, my Kotatat’s do not leak and still seal around the neck and wrists.  Kokatat are one of the world leaders in kayak clothing technology and whilst others try to copy them, I have never seen them match the durability found in the Kokatat range. The Tempest Jacket feels tight around the wrists when you first purchase them but after a short time they will fit snuggly. Don’t forget your feet either, they get very cold at this time of the year and a good wetsuit type boot or shoe is ideal for kayaking or sailing. Add socks under neath your water proof pants and your as warm as can be.

Finally, we have settled back in to the ‘norm’ at our stores after a busy week of shows. The Central Queensland Mega Expo and the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show kept us flat out all week and we managed (just!) to keep it all under control. We would like to thank everyone who stopped and chatted with us at either show; it was great to see many familiar Sunstate Hobinators! The Mirage Eclipse was a real head turner; people were amazed at how the board works! As usual, people had to ‘see to believe’ the MirageDrive and how it operates. We look forward to the Brisbane boat show later in the year.

Mal and Chris were lucky to be joined by Scott and Elijah for some ‘Bloke Time’ on Saturdays episode of Creek to Coast. While the fish weren’t biting, the time spent on the water enjoying the company meant the boys had a great time (while even getting a workout!). Our Pro Angler 17T and Oasis were the perfect platforms for the guys to kick back and chat – the social seating setting being an added bonus for the 17T.  To catch the segment online, visit Creek to Coast.

Have a Hobie Day!
