AI Limited Edition with blue hull and ivory-dune amas

Hi,

I'm new to this forum. I live at a lake in Germany and plan to buy an AI soon.

Our local dealer emailed me, that he has a limited edition AI with blue hull, ivory-dune amas and white and silver sail. Do you know something about such a limited edition or may this be an upgraded blue mirage? Are there any pictures of an AI in that color version?

I can´t imagine,if the blue hull /dune amas-mix is a nice looking combination.

Best regards
Rudi

- sorry for my bad english -

Hmm - I think this must have originally been a Hobie Mirage Adventure Kayak that has been converted to an Adventure Island. I know it is possible to convert the standard Adventure model to an AI but is considerably more expensive than buying a standard AI.

Could be wrong but sounds like a caribbean blue Adventure with an ivory dune Island upgrade kit. The ivory dune kit comes with the "silver"/gray and white sail.

I have seen pictures of an all blue Adventure Island with surfboards on the akas.

@fly:

and did you like it or would you prefer a complete yellow one?

The Yellow AI's are best to be seen on the water, but the White ones do look very nice! The blue hull sounds interesting.

But we all know Red goes the fastest!!!!!

The blue looks nice but I don't mind not being seen out on the water. I had a blue open ocean trident before I got a dune adventure with a blue sail.

My wife prefers yellow kayaks just because they are safer/more visible.

I prefer all dune but dune blue sounds interesting especially if it was at a discount and had a warranty.

It would be sometime before you would see a copy of your boat on the water.

Sounds like a "Bitsa" (bits of this and bits of that). Would like to see a picture though.

There's nought wrong with your english.

shot some pics of this special version at my hobie dealer today

quality is not the best because of small and relatively dark showroom

what do you think about it?

Looks EXCELLENT. Thats probably the only color combination that will work for the dune out riggers other than a dune yak itself. Blue yak with Gray sail and dune out riggers. I think I read that the gray sail color you show is rare though. I think what you have is better looking than an all blue AI. I'd get it for sure. Press for a discount.

I agree. This is a good looking boat. The gray sail and dune outriggers with the blue body is very cool.

@sammy:

very interesting post ))

The price of this boat is hot (for Germany, everything is here very very expensive (and everything that would be fun to do is forbidden, I will leave this f...ing Country soon going to the Canary Islands with my lovely big dog and - hopely this AI ))).

But this fine design is so much fun for the money, I think. I MUST have it!

I'd get it for sure. To me it looks like a custom/high performance version that you would see in competitions, all based on color scheme. That ride is smoking. I always felt that the all red version looked like an F1 or Indy car. And now,,,so does that. HOT!!!GET IT.

Rudi, once you get it out on the water, you'll probably be having too much fun to care what colour it is.

It does look nice. But does it pull the chicks like the yellow ones?
