Hobie Mirage Drive 180 Turbo Fins Review Vs Standard Fins on Hobie Revo 13

Reviewing the Hobie Mirage 180 Turbo Fins and Testing the increase in speed by adding Turbo Fins. Using the Standard Fins produced an average of 3.5 mph (17 minutes to paddle a mile), upgrading to the Turbo fins increased the average speed of 4.25 mph (14 minutes to paddle a mile), a 17% increase in speed.

Thanks for the no nonsense review. Got the info I needed!

Thanks for this, I often do 6 mile trips in a new Rev13, this has helped confirm I would like the bigger fins.

[@LongStraightLines]

Hobie could always make the turbo fins standard equipment so people didn't need to spend even more money to upgrade! Oh wait..

How do I find structure off hueneme, and can I make it in a Malibu paddling?

[@menibike]

Hi, do you have feedback a while of using the turbo fin, is it worth it over the standar fins?

[@JohnDoe-wy1yd]

17% increase in speed by fins that appear to have roughly 17% more surface area. Have you calculated the size difference?

[@MrJag0583]

were you peddling up or down current?

[@truthtellerofn3427]

Do you know of a place that will service a mirage drive near us? I just picked up a used one.

[@FisheyeChannel]

Truthtellerofn what needs to be done? Kayak Obsessions can help you service most Kayaking gear.

[@masterful7574]

Did you take current and wind into account for the comparison?

[@FisheyeChannel]

The conditions were very similar, however I did not measure the wind or current for comparison

o yeah paddle it will take 30+ minutes. Use a fish finder to locate structure. Scattered rocks can be found.
