I break down the new Hobie Passport 10.5, a lighter thermoformed MirageDrive pedal kayak that listed at $1,299 MSRP at the time.
What’s in this video
Here I talk through the new Hobie Passport 10.5 MirageDrive pedal kayak. It had an MSRP of $1,299 at the time of the video. What’s different is the build: it’s a lightweight thermoformed kayak, unlike Hobie’s other models, which are rotomolded and a bit heavier.
I go over the new features. It’s also compatible with many of the popular Hobie accessories you may already own, like the carts, sails and Bimini. For that price, I thought it was a great deal.
Quick takeaways
- The Passport is thermoformed, so it's lighter than Hobie's rotomolded models.
- It works with existing Hobie carts, sails and Bimini.
- MSRP was $1,299 at the time of the video.
