rogerdodger:
any guesses, serious or otherwise, what Hobies big "Whole New Breed" announcement on Friday might be?
here are mine:
Revo is due for a new hull design, so that is sort of a boring guess.
adding to the hulls designed for the 360 drive, perhaps an Outback360 or new design Revo360?
change to new manufacturing process and/or materials set? perhaps one that reduces weight?
long shot that would definitely be a whole new breed: addition of board lifting wings that raise the kayak out of the water at speed: https://liftfoils.com/
kimeun:
Gonna guess a motor to keep up with Old Town's Sportsman line. Hoping so, so I can finally join the 360 drive crowd after-market. Still have the original drive so I only go forward 💨

I've been seeing a lot of videos about the inflatables including a 4-person beast.

yeah, there is a whole new inflatable line called 'iTrek' but they have been out for like 6months, I think.
workhard:
A mid-line kayak to compete with Old Town. I think the Sportsman is killing Hobie right now.
