The Hobie Mirage ST Fin upgrades the fins on the Mirage Drive to increase the surface area leading to faster speeds and more efficiency. The Mirage ST Fin is smaller than the Turbo Fins but larger than the Standard Fins. The ST Fins use the existing masts. | ||||||||

| Review: | We bought two Revo 11s. Very pleased with boats. Did this upgrade to one boat and wife and I agreed it was worth doing the other as well. Since it clearly seems superior to standard fin,I would be interested in knowing why Hobie doesnt use this to start with. One minor issue-theres a notch on top of fin beneath the MD sprocket/chain. This notch was not centered beneath the chain and I had to cut a bit of material off the fin to clear the chain. | ||||

| Review: | Finally got to use the new ST fins and must say they are worth the money but I would like to see Hobie make them their standard fin since they mount on the same mast and are the same length as the standard fin, why should you have to upgrade if you buy a new kayak they should be standard equipment. Im glad I got the ST instead of the turbo ST because I wouldnt want the extra length of the Turbo fin in some of the shallow water we were in at the OBX NC the ST fins just made it without hitting bottom. | ||||

| Review: | You gain some speed without a lot of additional effort. If you have any concerns about pedaling effort, go with the ST versus the Turbo. Both my girlfriend and I have knee problems and we do not have issues with the ST, but the Turbo fins can be a challenge. | ||||
