This 10-footer comes loaded with Vibe’s X-Drive pedal system for hands-free cruising, a rudder for tight turns, and a comfortable seat for extended aquatic adventures.

Although the X-Drive doesn’t pedal backwards (see Makana 100 with Impulse Drive if you need to be able to pedal in reverse), the X-Drive system is a time proven design that is as reliable as it is performant. Anyone familiar with Hobie MirageDrives will be very familiar with the X-Drive, with easy-breezy maintenance and servicing.

With a width of 33″ the Makana offers a pleasantly stable ride and at 10′ length the Makana maneuvers effortlessly thanks to the rudder steering system. Featuring the Hero Seat 2.0 you’ll be high and dry and with gear storage underneath you won’t have to reach far to access your tackle. 

Fitted with four customizable gear tracks, adding accessories such as fish finders and rod holders is a no-brainer, and with two flush-mount rod holders plus ample storage in the rear storage well the Makana is well equipped to secure your gear conveniently

The Makana 100 with X-Drive is the best choice for forward-thinking paddlers looking for a budget-friendly compact pedal powered kayak that is big on features and performance.
