Construction and Pricing
Our Constructions
At Hobson Kayaks, we believe that the way a kayak is built is just as important as its design. Every paddler has different needs - from those buying their very first surf kayak to elite competitors pushing the limits in world-class conditions. That’s why we offer three carefully developed constructions, each delivering the same attention to detail, but with a different balance of performance, features, and exclusivity.
No matter which construction you choose, you’ll be getting a boat built with the same passion, innovation, and proven techniques that have earned Hobson Kayaks its reputation among paddlers worldwide.
What is Armour Protection?
Armour Protection is a supplementary layer that is added to the kayak hull to enhance its long-term durability, repairability, and overall strength. It is highly recommended for those who frequent pebble beaches, reef breaks, or experience rough entry and exit to the sea. The addition of Armour Protection increases the weight of your kayak by 700 grams, but it is a small price to pay for the added protection and peace of mind. Purchase Armour Protection for £150 and safeguard your kayak investment for years to come.
