Description
The Hobie Kayak Sun Shade is a must-have accessory for any kayaker looking for extra protection from the sun's harmful rays. With its UPF 50+ fabric, this sun shade ensures all-day sun protection.
In addition to sun protection, this shade also features a water-resistant coating. This coating will keep you safe and dry from the elements, allowing you to enjoy your kayaking adventures regardless of the weather conditions.
One of the standout features of the Hobie Kayak Sun Shade is its lightweight ripstop nylon construction. This material is both rugged and durable, ensuring that your sun shade will last for many seasons of kayaking.
Now, let's address some frequently asked questions:
Will this fit a 2014 Hobie Outback? Yes, our biminis will fit a 2014 Outback with no issues.
Will this fit a 2019 nucanoe pursuit? My kayak has tracks, and I also have Hobie bars on both sides of the bow. I need shade for my pups on the bow? It requires a sail port for the front mount. So unfortunately, it will not work for a Pursuit unless you were able to rig up a port around the front of the kayak.
Can this work with inflatable kayaks? No, it is not designed to work with inflatable kayaks.
Will this work with the 2019 Hobie Oasis? Will it cover both kayakers? The bimini works fine on the Oasis, but will cover the aft kayaker only on the Oasis. Two biminis will cover both fore and aft kayakers on the Oasis. We have one sitting in our showroom set up like this. Contact us, and we will send you a photo. Jay Smirnow, Backyard Boats.

What To Consider
