YUP. Hobie does it again. Expect these SUPs to be invading your local beach/surf zone soon. Cant't wait to try one with the spinnaker option. Let the races begin! |

These would make great rentals on vacations or even locally. I could see that leading to a lot of husband and wife purchases. |

Brilliant! And it looks like movements will register as steps with my tyrannical step counter. You come home after a day out pedaling with your Mirage kayak to find you have hardly troubled the scorer on the steps front. |

Nice invention! More can be done of it. A tandem version, a speed version, a version with a nice chair, a version with a kite, a version with an engine, a version with hand brakes... This is much more interesting than the traditional SUP. If you put a tablet on the handlebar you might be able to check the news or some entertainment while moving around and getting your exercise. |

I might get interested if Hobie produces a much broader Eclipse. I like to have a bit room/space. A version which is at least 1,4 meter broad could interest me. You could rest on it. Even more than one person. What about that, Hobie? |

I'm replacing my spineboard Hakas with them and getting the extra long Mondo Turbo fins and two supermodels ![]() |

Buckaroo, so you kick back, beer in hand, straddled by two supermodels stepping furiously on mirate eclipses strapped to your akas. Is that the idea? That's quite a modification. ![]() |
