Hobson Apex: Grey/Orange

Introducing the versatile Apex surf kayak, designed to handle any wave size or surfing style with ease. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced surfer, this kayak has got you covered. Based on the successful Fusion long boat, the Apex features a shorter, high-performance design.

With a longer hull, the Apex catches waves effortlessly on smaller days, while also allowing you to get into waves earlier and faster on bigger days. The tri-fin setup and tight rails provide excellent bite and drive, while the concaved sides maintain volume and increase hold. The channeled V hull tail creates a natural break line that quickly sheds water for effortless release.

The Apex is the perfect combination of stability, forgiveness, speed, maneuverability, and exhilaration. Its comfortable seating position and deck features add to its functionality and durability.

Key Design Features:

• Diamond tail
• Tight rails
• Channelled V hull tail
• Comfortable and functional seating position
• Deck features for strength and design

Designed in collaboration with Jem Howe
