I lost my round Hobie sticker on the front of my PA in the first month. It came right off in the river and floated away. Not much glue on it I guess...

Thatnks for the heads up on the sticker quality. We fired the supplier of these stickers, so they will get better in the future, but there is no way to verify which is which though. I suspect we won't even have new ones for a bit either.

Ask your dealers for replacements. They can get them from our warranty department.

Matt,

The new IFA sticker I got in the mail yesterday.....are those vinyl stickers or paper?
Will it survive on my yak?

Thanks.

No idea. That is not one of my parts. Maybe Vince or Morgan can answer in the team area.

Well.....mine are doing just fine...
Others have had theirs on longer and still look good.
These are on Kayaks though and not vehicles....sooo.take that with a grain of salt.

The latest ones my buddy put on his PA were a nice glossy ....paper, ya just peeled off on the first outing at J-bay.

I think the black vinyl stickers just get so hot in the sun the glue let's go or something.
