A lot of brands can sell you a kayak.

Hobie built a world you can grow into.

Start with something simple.
Go farther.
Bring somebody with you.
Travel with an inflatable.
Add the gear that makes your days easier.
Discover sailing.
Get more ambitious.

Different boats. Different adventures. Different stages of life.

But one ecosystem built around spending more of your life on the water.

That's a Hobie Benchmark.

HOBIE SIGHTING.

We're looking for Hobies in their natural habitat like these here sent to us by a couple of our fans...

Beach launches.
Quiet lakes.
Island campsites.
Big crossings.
Backyard docks.
Places we probably haven't heard of.

Post your best Hobie-in-the-wild photo below and tell us where you were.

We may feature a few favorites.

“We're just going out for an hour.”

Three hours later…

You've explored another shoreline, stopped for a swim, found a place you've never seen before and somehow you're nowhere near where you started.

Hobie days have a habit of getting away from you.

There's always that moment when you look back at shore and think…

We came all the way from THERE?

That's one of the best things about a Hobie. A little exploring can turn into a lot of exploring.

What's the farthest you've ever gone in your Hobie?

DON’T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT.

Seriously.

If you’ve wondered what it feels like to pedal a Hobie, experience a MirageDrive® or figure out which model feels right for you, go try one.

Hobie dealers across the country host demo days and many can help arrange an opportunity to get you on the water.

This weekend, visit your local Hobie dealer, join a demo day or ask to demo a boat.

A few minutes on the water can tell you more than hours of research ever will.

Already a Hobie owner? Tag the friend who keeps asking to try yours.

TODAY’S ITINERARY: NONE.

No mileage goal.
No destination.
No workout.
No need to be anywhere by noon.

Put the boat in the water. Bring something cold to drink. See where you end up.

Not every adventure needs to be an adventure.

Sometimes a really good day on the water is just…a really good day on the water. This photo is from one of our fans ... we thought it was a perfect example...

THE BENCHMARK: JUST GO.

Some of the best innovations are the ones you eventually stop thinking about.

Push the MirageDrive® pedals and you move. Turn the rudder and you turn. Flutter the fins through the shallows.

Pedal farther than you planned because getting back doesn't feel like work.

For decades, Hobie has kept refining one simple idea: make spending a day on the water easier.

That’s a benchmark worth chasing.

Hobie Benchmark: Accessories!

Some kayaks come with accessories.

Hobie built an entire ecosystem around them.

Over the years, a few have become benchmarks in their own right:
• H-Rail® for endless customization.
• Bimini Shade to keep long days on the water comfortable.
• Livewell systems that made tournament rigging simple.
• H-Crate™ storage that organized an entire generation of kayak anglers.
• Guardian® Retractable Transducer Shield for protected electronics.
• Sail Kits that turned a pedal kayak into a whole new adventure.
• Cart systems that made getting to the water almost effortless.

Every Hobie owner seems to have that one accessory they wouldn't launch without.

So here's the question...

What's the best accessory Hobie has ever made?

Tell us your favorite—and why. We have a feeling there are going to be some classics in the comments.
