Tag and Release White Sea Bass w/ Pier Foundation

Hobie Mirage Inflatable i9s

A kayak with the ability to pedal yet stores in a bag. The Hobie Mirage i9s inflatable kayak is an amazing kayak giving you the ability to store your kayak in places that you wouldn't usually. This product was designed with the thought of the boat and RV crews. This kayak can store in the hatches of your boat or RV allowing you the fun of a Hobie pedal kayak with out the cumbersome size of a hard shell kayak. The rigidity and quality of the material used on this product is amazing. I was extremely impressed with this inflatable kayak. It blows all other inflatables out of the water.



and you can fish on it.
