Shipping Damage Free Guarantee
Accessory Shipments
Paddles, PFDs, dry bags, helmets, skirts, motors, rod holders, and accessories ship UPS, FedEx, or USPS Ground.
It lands on your doorstep like any other package. We email tracking the day it leaves our shop.
Order gear on the same order as a kayak we're hand delivering or shipping, and it comes with the kayak.
Kayak Shipments
We deliver kayaks two ways. Inside our delivery area, we bring your boat to you ourselves. Everywhere else, it ships LTL freight with a carrier that reports a 99.9% damage-free delivery rate. We'll tell you which one you're getting once your order is placed along with more details.
If we hand deliver it
Nothing to inspect, nothing to sign at the curb. We're the ones unloading your kayak, so if anything is wrong, tell us right there and we'll take care of it. We will call before hand for a meetup place.
If it ships LTL freight
Look the boat over before you sign the delivery receipt. If you see damage, write it on the receipt. That one step is what protects your claim. Then email clear photos to helpdesk@cfoutdoors.com within 2 hours of delivery. We also will email you more details on this process once the order is placed.
What we cover
Structural damage. Anything that compromises the hull or would void the manufacturer's warranty, confirmed with the vendor. We make it right.
Cosmetic damage. Light scratches or minor surface dents that don't affect performance or structure. We send a repair kit when one is available. If you'd rather have a replacement, a 20% restocking fee applies plus full shipping back to us.
The Revolution 11 is the light, quick one. Eleven feet six inches, 29 inches wide, and 64 lbs fitted. It is the Hobie you buy when you want to cover water rather than stand on it.
Twenty-nine inches is narrow for a pedal kayak, and that is deliberate. A narrow hull moves faster for the same effort and turns more willingly. You give up the standing platform the wide fishing boats have. For flat water, touring and easy loading, it is the right trade.
It runs the MirageDrive 180 with Kick-Up fin technology and ARC cranks. The Twist and Stow rudder retracts into the hull rather than hanging off the stern, which matters when you are dragging the boat up a bank.
The Vantage CT seat adjusts recline angle and height quickly. There is a large bow hatch, a mesh stowage pocket, an 8 inch twist and seal hatch, a cup holder, a rear cargo area, rod holders and a sail mount.

Hobie Revolution 11 Questions, Answered
Revolution 11 or Revolution 13?
Two feet of waterline. The Hobie Revolution 13 is 13 ft 5 in, tracks better and carries 350 lbs against this boat’s 275. This one is 6.5 lbs lighter and turns easier. Open water and long distances go to the 13. Small lakes, rivers and easy loading go to the 11.
Can I stand up in it?
Not realistically. Twenty-nine inches is narrow and Hobie does not market this hull as a standing platform. If standing matters, look at the Hobie Compass at 34 inches or a Pro Angler at 36 to 38.
Is 275 lbs of capacity enough?
It is the lowest in the Hobie range, so check it against your own weight plus gear honestly. A 200 lb paddler with 40 lbs of kit is fine. A 250 lb paddler who wants to carry a cooler should be looking at a bigger boat.
Is it a fishing kayak?
Hobie lists it on their fishing pages and it comes with rod holders, so it will fish. It is a lighter-duty fishing boat than an Outback or a Pro Angler, with no transducer shield and no H-Rail. Good for casting from a seated position on calm water.
What does the 180 in MirageDrive 180 mean?
Reverse. Pull a cable and the fins flip through 180 degrees, so pedaling the same way drives you backwards at full power. It is how you back off a snag or hold against current without picking up the paddle.
What are Kick-Up Fins?
Fins that retract by themselves on impact. Hobie’s own line is "Logs, kelp, shallows, rocks, no problem." The fin folds back when it hits something and drops again once you are past.
What is a Twist and Stow rudder?
The rudder twists up and stows into the hull rather than folding against the stern. It keeps the blade out of harm when you land, and there is nothing sticking out to catch on a bank or a trailer.
How does it handle wind?
A narrow, light boat gets pushed by wind more than a heavy wide one. The rudder handles it. On a genuinely rough day the longer Hobie Revolution 13 is the better tool.
What is the one mistake that voids the warranty?
Beaching the boat with the drive and rudder still down. Hobie lists it as an exclusion by name. Pull the MirageDrive up and flip the rudder before the hull touches sand or gravel.
Do I need a life jacket with it?
Yes, and the law requires one on board. The Old Town Outfitter Universal is a USCG Type III cut thin through the back.
How long is the Hobie warranty?
Hobie covers 3 years on 2019 and newer models against defects in materials, manufacturing and design. Hobie repairs or replaces at their discretion.
Who handles a warranty claim?
Hobie routes warranty claims through the authorized dealer you bought from, which is us. Within 30 days of finding a defect, bring the boat and your proof of purchase to us and we handle it from there. That is worth knowing before you buy a big boat from a marketplace seller with no dealer behind it.
What voids coverage?
Normal wear and discoloration, abuse, skipped maintenance, hitting submerged objects, mooring or storing the boat in the water, improper transport or storage, weather damage, modifications, and rental or commercial use. One exclusion catches people out: beaching the boat without retracting the MirageDrive and rudder first. Pull both up before you slide onto sand or gravel.
How does the Hobie Revolution 11 ship?
Two ways. If you are inside our delivery area, local delivery shows up as a shipping option at checkout and we bring the boat to you ourselves. We call ahead to set a meet-up, and since we do the unloading there is nothing for you to inspect or sign at the curb. Otherwise it ships LTL freight with a carrier running a 99.9% damage-free rate. On a freight delivery, look the boat over before you sign the receipt and write down any damage you see. That one step protects your claim. Then email clear photos to helpdesk@cfoutdoors.com within 2 hours. We email the full details once your order is placed.
