Hobie’s iTrek Inflatables - Comparing the Mirage iTrek 9 Ultralight & Mirage iTrek 11

Just how good, really, can an inflatable kayak be? In this comparison we head to the lake with the refreshed Hobie Mirage iTrek 11 and the all-new Hobie Mirage iTrek 9 Ultralight. Along the way we’ll find out if Hobie’s Mirage iTrek line of kayaks are a serious option for recreational boating. Thank you to Peak Sports, in Corvallis, Oregon, who lent us these boats to help with this comparison video and our own purchase decision. You rock! I marked this video as sponsored but to be clear there was no payment to make this video nor a discount on our purchase - but spending the weekend with both boats was a huge help in our purchase decision.
