A Truckload of Hobies Arrives!

The Swift Outdoor Centre was happy to see our Hobie shipment arrive this morning! Lots and lots of Hobies just waiting to go home and be paddled this summer!


The most popular Hobie model over the years has been the Adventure Island, a 16' Trimaran "Sail/yak" that incorporates the patented Hobie MirageDrive ™ into a unique sailing machine unlike any other sailing craft on the water.


For those that like to fish, the most popular choice seems to be the Hobie Mirage Outback SUV. A great Hobie for fishing, hunting or shooting photos. The Outback comes with four molded-in fishing rod holders, storage hatches and large on-deck cargo area.



Stop in to one of our stores to see these unique boats and take one for a test paddle. We're sure you're going to love them as much as we do.

Please call 1-800-661-1429 with any questions or inquiries as to inventory and availability.

A Look at Swift's Saskatoon Dealer - Classic Outdoors

Did you know that Swift Canoe & Kayak has a dealer in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan? We do!

Classic Outdoors is the place where paddlesports begins in Saskatoon. The outdoor store was started based on the enjoyment of the lake when the owner, Jonas Hildebrand was young.
"My parents and uncles always made sure we had things to do, and one of them was paddling canoes and kayaks. Over time, these two sports turned into seeking a passion and brought us to Classic Outdoors".Classic Outdoors is a full service paddlesports shop and is moving into other outdoors specialty categories. If you are in Saskatoon, stop in and check out all of the great boats and gear they have in stock and ask about what's coming in new for the 2010 paddling season. You'll be sure to find a great place to start your next adventure!
