The Mobius is Wave Sport’s new freestyle machine. Currently available in two sizes the 49 and 57 however a 65 is coming early next year. Each of these new kayaks is one gallon larger than its predecessor the Project X series. The Mobius has built on Wave Sport’s reputation for building quality freestyle kayaks and it really doesn’t disappoint.
The Mobius has been designed to be loose and fast on a wave due to a continuous rocker and designed with stern release edges making its acceleration down any wave a breeze. If you have paddled the Project X on a wave, expect more speed and just as much control edge to edge.
The Mobius is quite a bit shorter than the Project X series, two inches to be exact yet it is still extremely well balanced and easy to control in a hole. The major difference between the Mobius and its predecessors is that this freestyle kayak is far more forgiving making it not only the perfect
boat for serious freestyle paddlers but also a great boat for those new to freestyle who are wanting a bit more forgiveness.
Now I have paddled with Wave sport kayaks for a while now and the progression of boats has been great at around 5,11”, 11.5 stone and size 9-10 shoes. The Project X was always the perfect boat for me, so why would I want to change to the new Mobius? Easy, the Mobius is shorter, faster, packs more volume and has more foot room!
I was fortunate enough to take the Mobius out at Holme Pierrepont, Nottingham. My first paddle in the boat was good. Whilst sat on the flat the boat felt very stable and very comfortable just like my Project X. I found I sat quite high, which was a nice change as I have always built up my seats for a higher seating position, I like a bit more leverage and feel a raised seat gives me more control. The CORE White Out fittings are very easy to pad out, adjust and personalize. On flat water the
