Hobie Mirage kayak users report as much as 10% increase in
speed and more using ST TURBO Fins. But its not all about speed, you can get top
end speed and a slower cadence for cruising (Less pedals per mile). All achieved
with these larger and more efficient fin designs. Increase your performance or
increase your fitness routine, you choose the fin that is right for
you:
Standard, ST or ST Turbo... low, medium or a higher gear! The standard
fins, supplied with our kayaks, are the easiest pedaling fins, but many users
feel that the standard fins do not offer enough resistance. This is very evident
when using our sailing kits. The added power and speed of the sail often
outpaces the standard fins (similar to pedaling a bike down hill in first
gear).
Want to go really fast? Add the ST TURBOs for sailing! The longer fins
can also increase lateral resistance for sailing upwind. These ST (Square Tip)
designs will require a bit more effort to pedal. The added effort is commonly
compared to pedaling a bike up a slight incline. In addition, the included fin
tension screw allows adjustment to achieve lower end torque or top end speed to
meet the desires of the pedaler.
ST Fins fit any Hobie MirageDrive. If you
prefer the ST fin, order 2 per drive. The ST TURBO fins require longer masts.
The ST TURBO fin kit comes with 2 fins, 2 masts and all needed fittings.
