Well?Hobie did it again. They have taken innovation to new levels before and they did it again with the Hobie Mirage Inflatable i12 single and i14 tandem. Inflates in minutes, performs like its hard shelled brother and folds away into a rollaway bag for convenient storage.

| Review: | Awesome !! Everyone stops to ask about it. Very fast and easy to inflate and deflate. Fold up not bad at all. Need the wheel attachment, makes life easier. Great storage compartment. Love the steering. My 10 year old can sit right behind me. I need another one !!!! | ||||

| Review: | I've had a 9' Hobie Mirage Sport hard shell kayak for 2 years and wanted an inflatable so I could bring two kayaks camping in our SUV and carry a kayak in the back of my Prius for spur of the moment outings. The Hobie i12S is quick to inflate and handles very much like the hard shell version. The rudder control feels a little tentative compared to the hard shell, but that is the only issue I've noticed. Packing up is easy once you get the hang of it. I purchased strap-on wheels instead of the Hobie wheels since I have to traverse rough ground. Very pleased with the i12S. It's more expensive than a hard shell because of all the additional manufacturing steps, but it seems durable and well made. | ||||

| Review: | Rating the Hobie i12s at 4 to flag the single issue I found with it - completely un-sailable with 2 adults. Otherwise it is excellent - an 11 rating !! Sailing problem occurred with 190lb man and 130lb women - regardless of who sits where the boat just spins in a circle. With one person it sails awesome - you just can't beat the combo of pedal and sail. I use it every night in Charles River sailing basin and it's a huge hit with "real" sailors from Harvard, MIT and public sailing center. It is unbelievably stable and safe - girlfriend and I actually switched seats mid river without going into the drink. Please note it pedals or paddles great with either 1 or 2 adults. Again - other than "2 adult - sailing" issue I love it. I expect I'll buy the another new i9st in the spring. If two adults want to sail I'd recommend buying two 9 footers instead of the 12' or 14' boat. | ||||

| Review: | I did not know what I was missing, buying a second one to keep the peace. Love the ability to put it in the trunk and take it anywhere. | ||||
