Including transportation wheels! The kayak is typical Hobie blue.
HOBIE MIRAGE OASIS: Stable and fast describe the Mirage Oasis. It offers performance-minded qualities such as quick acceleration and an impressive hull speed without sacrificing utility or hauling capacity.
Its defining feature is Hobie’s patented MirageDrive. The self-centering padded pedals are connected to two underwater flippers, much like penguin wings; and are locked and unlocked from the kayak with the Click and Go system. Steering is controlled via a fingertip-controlled rudder system, making it easy to cast, hook, and land fish while maneuvering at that secret spot. The rudder can be controlled from either seat and rotated out of the way for slicing through weeds in very shallow water and for transport or storage.
Rudder steering lines are made from Spectra, the world’s strongest fiber, up to 15 times stronger than quality steel of the same size. The combination of the MirageDrive rudder system and the hull design ensures a stable ride and enables anglers to cover long distances with little or no fatigue, even against the current or in windy conditions.
