Video Gear Review: Hobie Mirage Eclipse SUP

Mitch from the Next Adventure Paddle Sports Center shows off the Hobie Mirage Eclipse SUP. There’s minimal setup. Go from the car, the dock or your boat to the water in minutes. The Mirage Eclipse takes fitness out of the gym and onto the water and under the sun using Hobie's MirageDrive®. The board is lightweight and durable and full of features such as gear tie-downs and a kick-up rudder. The board’s width, hull design, and handlebars provide an extra-stable ride superior to a standard paddleboard. Steering is at your fingertips, utilizing hand-levers like those found on a bicycle. Squeeze right, go right. Squeeze left, go left. The aluminum alloy handlebar is easily removable; just lock the rudder in to place as a tracking skeg and paddle like a traditional stand up paddleboard. Like to stand and fish? Just add a Hobie H-Crate accessory to add four fishing rod holders plus a plenitude of tackle management options. The Mirage Eclipse takes standup to a whole new level.
