Hobie created the Turbo Fin Upgrade Kit with performance in mind. Turbo fins incorporate a larger fin template, providing faster top-end speed, increased responsiveness and the ability to cover more water with less pedaling. Additionally, most individuals prefer the longer fin for increased lateral resistance when using a Mirage Sail kit.
This is the new Hobie Mirage Turbo Fin Kit- Kick Up. Upgrade your standard kickup drive with the Turbo Fin Kit Kick-up kit. Does not fit 2019 MD 180 Drives. Only fits 2020+ drives.
Hobie Mirage kayak users report as much as 10% increase in speed and more using TURBO Fins. But it's not all about speed, you can get top-end speed and a slower cadence for cruising (fewer pedals per mile). All achieved with these larger and more efficient fin designs. These longer fins can also increase lateral resistance for sailing upwind.
