Turbo Fins, Turbo Mast and Sprocket Upgrades for Mirage Drive

I have had Hobie turbo fins on my outback for many years. On a recent outing the fins got damaged and needed to be replaced. I was very annoyed to learn that Hobie had discontinued production of those fins. The only place I could find them available was Australia. Being that I live in the United States one pair of fins plus shipping and tariff from Australia was almost $400. I found these fins on Amazon and I was skeptical to say the least. It's a no-name company out of Singapore and they didn't seem to have many reviews. However, the reviews they did have all seem to be positive. Seeing that the price was about 1/4 of the alternative, I decided to give them a try. I am happy to report that I could not have made a better choice. In my opinion these fins are better made than the original Hobie Fins. The Hobie Fins we're not one solid piece of rubber. The design on the outside of the fins was a secondary piece of rubber that was overlaid into the fin. That is actually the part of my original fins that caused them to break. These fins are one solid piece of rubber. Right out of the box they feel more rigid than the Hobie Fins did, I like that. They match size and fit in every way. They were two-minute installation into my outback mirage drive. After spending roughly 6 hours on the water yesterday trying them out, I can confidently say that these are an absolutely perfect replacement for the original Hobie turbo fins. I am so happy with my purchase that I am going to buy one or two more pairs just so I have them as backups for the future...

Excellent fit, feels sturdy and robust. Easy to install as a replacement to the existing turbo fins that broke. Haven't tested at sea yet, but I don't think I will be disappointed.

These fins are very nice quality and very stiff which gives more resistance and boost when peddling. The Hobie fins are flimsy compared to these. Just as easy to install as the original Hobie Fins.

Fins do not fit my mirage drive 180 using the MD180 ST fins.

Bought these for my 2011 Hobie Mirage Tandem. Nice snug fit.

The Turbo fins, are good but not as good as the original Hobie fins. It appears to be a little stiff on a push that’s the only thing I can feel the different. I did not increase the speed any.

Very satisfied for the price

I replaced the fins on a 2015 Hobie Outback mirage drive. Installation was straight forward. I have used for about 3 hours so far and everything worked well. These fins provided a bit more surface area than original OEM part.
