Apex
271cm long x 60.25cm wide Volume 190litres 110kgs approximate maximum paddler weight 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

I’ve had my Apex for coming up to 9 months and can honestly say it’s made a huge difference to my surfing!
Before the Apex I had a short hp boat and would struggle getting out in heavier surf as I’d back loop a lot. Being 6’1 and 90+ kg I’d need a steep wave to take off….
The Apex is fast and being narrower rolls really easily. The boat has given me the confidence to push myself and on days that I’d of been dreading the beating I’m able to enjoy surfing knowing that the Apex can handle it 👍
This was my first ever surf boat and although it's a high performance design, coming from a river running/ slalom background after the first couple of sessions with a quite a few rolls (that were super easy) I got used to how to use the rails across the wave and really started to feel the performance of the boat and I'm glad I went for the Apex design, the feel and control is superior and the build quality and finish is superb. Thank you team Hobson.
I’ve been paddling the Apex for six years, and it’s still a boat I love taking out. It rewards committed surfing: get it moving, pick your line and it carries speed beautifully across the wave.
What keeps me coming back to it is the response. It accelerates well, holds its line when I want it to, and reacts quickly when I drive it into a turn. There’s a direct connection between what I do and what the boat does, which is exactly what I want when I’m pushing my surfing.
The Apex asks you to be active and make decisions, and that’s a big part of its appeal. After six years, I know how much I can ask of it, but it still makes a every session feel exciting.
This model has really given me the confidence to develop my skills in a variety of conditions. The hull speed is great in all conditions but really comes alive on 4+ foot
Waves we have here on the Washington Coast. This thing performs fantastic with and without fins giving you plenty of options for the days conditions.
I have an apex with 7mm spacer at the seam giving and extra 11L volume, which as a heavier paddler is great for floating me a little higher and being slightly more forgiving with similar performance to the regular apex. As forgiving as the fusion, and almost as fast but more dynamic, well suited to the rarely optimal east coast of Scotland conditions. All carbon construction is super stiff, very comfortable boat with a touch more knee room, that has been very resilient.
