Any chance that Hobie will offer orange as a color choice in the future? I loved the orange yak color offered before and I think it offers good on-water visibilty - the biggest hazard is getting run over by a powerboater and the fish don't care...

Since it was dropped for lack of real interest... not likely / Yellow?

Hi Matt
If a customer was willing to wait, would Hobie do a special order multi color ?

Multi color? Not likely due to concerns about mixing different colors together. This effects strength.

Thanks Matt,

are the multi color hulls that are in different brands of kayaks weaker than a single color?

I would have thought the plastic would have been the same just a different color pigment, and that the powders used would blend/melt the same, interesting.

Matt - is it possible to special order a kayak in orange? Not multi, all one shade. I really liked the orange color.

I don't make those decisions... but I have seen custom (discontinued color) orders come through. If we had the material... might be possible. Start with a dealer. They can contact our sales department.
