Introducing the Palm x Hobson kayaks Plastic Eclipse surf kayak!
Surf is the new playboating, the Eclipse is your cheat code. A hybrid between a cruiser and a high-performance short boat, it planes fast, carves harder and can be surfed finless or with single, twin, or thruster fins. Easy to set up and comfortable to paddle. Built tough from rotomoulded plastic, it takes the hits. At home on a tide race, river wave, or in the ocean surf, the Eclipse blurs the line between surf and river - the perfect playboat for every quiver.

Having use an Apex and then being able to try the plastic eclipse out for a range of uses it really does hit the mark for me. From a white water background this is the ultimate tailey machine, but it also give me way more time to react on a wave, from the Falls of Lora, Lee Valley, the Bitches and the ocean waves, this boat is (in my opinion) slower on the wave and the rails dig in better giving me more time to react to and feel what is going on. My best surf session yet at Sker, insanely stoked
The Eclipse PE takes the easy, forgiving feel I’ve always liked about the Eclipse and puts it into a plastic boat. It’s approachable from the first session, which makes it a great option if you’re getting into surf kayaking or want a boat you can take out without overthinking the conditions.
It catches waves easily and gives you time to find your line, but there’s still plenty of performance there when you push it. You can work on your turns and build confidence without feeling that you’ve outgrown the boat after a few sessions.
Having paddled the composite Eclipse for years, I wanted the PE version to keep the character that made that boat so versatile. I’m really pleased with how it turned out: forgiving, fun and capable of much more than a beginner boat needs to be.
