The Hobie Mirage ST Turbo Fin Kit upgrades the Mirage Drive with new fins and masts to increase the surface area by over 10 percent. Hobie Mirage kayak users report as much as a 10% increase in speed and more using ST Turbo Fins. But it’s not all about speed, you can get the top-end speed and a slower cadence for cruising (Fewer pedals per mile). All are achieved with this larger and more efficient fin design. The longer fins can also increase lateral resistance for sailing upwind. The ST (Square Tip) designs will require a bit more effort to pedal. The added effort is commonly compared to pedalling 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 innavidual preferences. These fins can only upgrade the Mirage Drive 180 V1 and V2, they will not fit earlier drives.
