2024 production of Mirage Eclipse V2 happening? Any 4 USA?

Is there any guidance on the production and USA availability of the Mirage Eclipse V2 in 2024?

V2 is a thermoformed product that is called "ACE"

Product is inbound from the factory in France.

Great! Any ETA on when Hobie dealers will be able to list as IN STOCK?

That is all I could get from Sales. This has to travel to the Mexico Facility and gets fitted with drives and handlebars. Then ships to dealers. ETA at dealers? Guess >1-2 months.

Thanks for that information as well!

I had an order for 2 2024 Eclipse ACE's placed with REI as a "Backorder" for 30 days that ended up needing to be canceled in the past week.

I've been able to place an order with REI again for 2 ACE's and hope that they are on the early end of Hobie's deliver schedule - the Delaware River (& surrounding flooded quarries) beckon!

I don't see the usual Hobie accessories for the Eclipse ACE's, are any expected?

Nothing specific to ACE that I am aware of.

Hello again!

My order for two 2024 Eclipse ACEs got CANCELLED AGAIN.

REI is saying that Hobie "canceled the Purchase Orders" for the two shipments that are past due.

I'm also seeing NO INVENTORY at all on the Hobie website's Inventory search.

Any helpful info? Not happening?

All information greatly appreciated!

Any help appreciated on if this vessel is a NO GO in the USA in 2024!

Got to move on to Plan B soon if HOBIE doesn't come through!

Well REI has dropped the 2024 Mirage Eclipse ACE from their website after getting their orders canceled by HOBIE.

And HOBIE shows ZERO quantities of 2024 INVENTORY of the Mirage Eclipse ACE.

So any official announcements expected that HOBIE is bailing out on the Mirage Eclipse production intentionally or should one presume mismanagement at this point?

It should have been a warning that the boat had to move among 3 different countries during production.

HOBIE! Maybe move to a "kit" model for the Mirage Eclipse so you can get them sold & out the door.

OR ANNOUNCE YOUR GIVING UP & DROP THE BOATS from your website!

Even bad news would be helpful in planning future water adventures.
