Hobie
Hobie Alter’s dream was born in his parents’ garage in 1950, when Hobie decided to apply his love of woodworking to the sport of surfing. Dad backed out the Buick to make room for a shipment of balsawood, Hobie got out his drawknife and carved out his very first surfboard. Friends soon started dropping by and before you knew it there was no room left for the Buick—Hobie’s business of fun had begun.
Power through the water with the fast and efficient MirageDrive with Glide Technology and Kick-Up Fins. The Mirage® Passport® is equipped with our patented Kick-Up Fin technology for care-free kayaking. Logs, kelp, shallows, rocks? No problem. Our fins automatically "kick up" on impact. We bring you closer to nature and further from the hustle and bustle. The Passport takes you anywhere you want to go with ease and world-class authority. Every feature is designed with your entertainment in mind. Sail open water or fish the flats. We made sure you can do both thanks to the vertical accessory tube and molded in rod holders. Dual mounting tracks keep your accessories within reach while the 8” Twist-n-Seal Hatch provides extra storage.

Jackson Kayak’s top design team put an “HD” twist on the already popular Coosa model. Slightly longer and wider than the original Coosa, this ‘heavy duty’ fishing craft boasts amped up features, making it even more stable for anglers of all sizes who are really looking for a stand-up fishing kayak.
The Jackson Bite Angler is an affordable fishing platform that doesn’t compromise in hull quality, performance, gear management, or comfort. Performing to the same high standards of paddling and standability Jackson is known for, the Bite Angler sports the same hull as our Bite Rec model, but adds flush mount rod holders, so you are ready to hit the water and fish.
The Bite FD is a pedal kayak designed to provide high performance while requiring little maintenance. Built on the same Bite hull that refused to compromise performance, gear management or quality despite its economical price point, Jackson Kayak’s Bite FD doesn’t cut corners.
Nucanoe
"The first NuCanoe was built in early 2006 while NuCanoe was still part of Tim Niemier’s Wild Design business. By the fall of 2006, Tim partnered with current owner Blake Young to create NuCanoe, Inc. – an independent business that would move forward with the NuCanoe vision. Blake did not know too much about canoes or kayaks then, but he did see the opportunity for a watercraft that just about anyone could use for just about anything. With the growth of kayak fishing, kayak hunting, stand-up paddleboarding, and “staycations”, that opportunity has turned into reality."
