2026 Product of the Year: KAYAK FISHING
Brand: HOBIE | Product: iTrek Angler
The iTrek Angler Series isn’t just new. It’s an exclamation point on 75 years of Hobie innovation. Hobie has long sought to break down the barriers of entry to sports with innovation. From mass-produced surfboards, to skateboard trucks, easy-to-use catamarans, generations of accessories, and Hobie’s MirageDrive pedal system, barriers have been broken for 75 years. This is the next chapter in Hobie’s long-standing legacy of kayak fishing innovation.
Where other inflatable introductions have fallen short is in keeping with the standards of today’s kayak anglers. The ITrek Angler product series invites more anglers into the sport without compromising what they’d expect from a full modern kayak angling experience. This series opens the door for those with limited storage and transportation options, as well as travelers who have long missed out on international fishing experiences. The ITrek Angler series comes in 10-foot and 12-foot options with the legendary Hobie MirageDrive 180, H-rails, core Hobie accessories, and accommodates motors and electronics all in a rolling bag for easy transport.
