History Of Hobie Kayaks
Hobie Kayak are simple Eskimo canoes that come with a light wooden framework and a skin cover that is watertight. These canoes are products of the popular Hobie Cat Co. hence the name Hobie Kayaks. Their main function is kayaking in the sea unlike others that are purely meant for whitewater kayaking. Hobie Cat Co.was founded in 1952 by Hobie Alter. Hobie began to design and produce surf boards from his parent’s garage that he had turned into a woodwork shop. The first Hobie kayak was released in 1960. According to Hobie, this first boat was an imitation of the popular Polynesian Catamaran. However, today the company has created numerous models of Hobie kayaks that come in very attractive designs.
