Thanks to its clever design, the Hobie Kona Deluxe pairs a short waterline with the width normally found on bigger boats, giving you a stable ride and snappy, on-a-dime maneuverability. And if your partner unexpectedly bails out on your paddling plans, the Kona easily converts to a single seater, preserving your options. It has plenty of room for cargo, two cup holders, on-hull paddle storage, plus two mesh-covered stowage pockets. It's everything you need to enjoy kayaking with friends or solo. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Review: | Great stable recreational kayak for 2-3 people under 450 lbs tested. I bought this kayak because my family was looking for a versatile kayak that I could use solo or with my wife and 16 month old son. I also wanted to make sure the boat wasnt to long and cumbersome for smaller rivers and streams. This kayak is one of a kind and met all my needs perfectly. With guidance from the great people at ACK, I was shown how to strap the kayak to my roof rack with ease. This yak is really fun on the water and I recommend it for any couple or family who enjoy watersports. | ||||

| Review: | TONS of storage. The Kona is also light and very stable in the water. The seats are also very comfortable and it has lots of great features that come in handy. | ||||

| Review: | Before buying this kayak I researched several brands including the ocean kayak malibu two and all I can say is I'm damn glad I got the Hobie. Everything on the Hobie is top notch, the included seats, paddles, deck hatches, and cargo tiedowns are all first-rate! All of these items were options on the ocean kayak but not standard and would have raised the price to even more than the Hobie. This kayak is also much more compact and easier to handle solo. I live on the Gulf of Mexico and the Kona is stable and forgiving in both the protected inlet waters and the open ocean. The Hobie Trax 2 kayak cart is also a must buy if you're getting the Kona, it plugs right into the scupper holes in the middle and makes dragging the kayak around over sand or grass MUCH easier. | ||||
