Hobie Mirage Kayak
The two-seat Hobie Mirage Oasis kayak ($2,499) features three forms of propulsion, including traditional paddling, pedal power, and a sailing option. The pedals connect to the company’s MirageDrive underwater flippers, while steering is maintained by a fingertip-controlled rudder system. Or let the wind do the work, while you and your companion enjoy the scenery as the sail pushes you along. Weighing just 69 pounds, this stable, sit-on-top design lets you reconnect with the water while exploring secluded anchorages. Hobie Cat Company, (760) 758-9100; www.hobiecat.com
