Winter Storm Juno

How-to-Survive-a-Blizzard

Winter Storm Juno is here and at least 28 million people are in the potential blizzard conditions zone. The Weather Channel advises you should not travel late Monday or Tuesday and be prepared for power outages during and after the storm. Not only do you need to be cautious of 1-2 feet of snowfall, keep in mind the depth of snowdrifts is even higher.

From Far Eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, to New England, will experience the heaviest snowfall amounts. During the peak of the storm, 2 to 4 inches per hour of snowfall is a possibility.

The winter storm naming committee named this storm “Juno” on Sunday morning. Juno, in Roman mythology, is a goddess who looked after the women of Rome.

BE PREPARED!

Don't get stuck in the storm without power. Lighthouse Harbor Marina has YAMAHA Generators in stock!

Yamaha Generators are packed full of state-of-the-art technology that not only guarantees high-level performance in the various functions you hope for from a generator but also makes them outstanding in operability, economy and durability.

Stop by our showroom to get your generator now!

Hobie Kayaks - PremiumKayaks.com

Kayaking is a popular activity useful for fishing, diving, and wilderness exploration due to the variety and adaptability of the kayak.

Replacing the uncomfortable paddle, Hobie Brand Kayaks are propelled by their MirageDrive pedal.

ABOUT KAYAKING

Kayaks are thought to be at least 4,000 years old, first used for hunting and transporting passengers or goods. Today kayaks are used for recreation purposes like fishing and exercise. Hobie Brand Kayaks are propelled using your legs instead of your arms. The MirageDrive pedal, with Glide Technology, can be adjusted to fit individuals, making kayaking easier than ever before.

premium-hobie-kayaks-0012

KAYAK FISHING

Fishing from a kayak allows you to get into smaller areas where a boat cannot fit. They are also much quieter and less noticeable to fish since they don't have a motor and create a significantly smaller wake. A kayak also allows you to get closer to shore and cast parallel to the shoreline. In addition, a kayak is convenient in that there are no fuel, insurance, storage, or launch fees.

sport-hibiscus Hobie Sport

The Mirage Sport is Hobie’s most compact kicker, an easy to store and transport 9’ long kayak.

Perfect for pocket water, the cheerful Sport is still plenty of kayak, accommodating users of most heights. It offers every one of Hobie’s signal features, including one-of-a-kind Mirage pedal propulsion, the incredibly adjustable Vantage CT seat, and like all Hobie kayaks rotomolded from durable polyethylene, dual rod holders. This small kayak has a big heart that equally loves pleasure cruising and teasing bass in the sticks.

revo13-dune Hobie Revolution 13

A cruiser capable of taking on boisterous water, the Revolution 13 is a smooth, stable kayak that feels like one—one oozing go-all-day creature comforts such as the Vantage CT seat.

It is catchy too, with dual rod holders and plentiful tackle storage. If you crave a change of pace from hands-free MirageDrive motivation and pick up the paddle, the “Revo 13” still makes tracks. If this is a floating SUV, it’s one that loves a twisty, challenging track. The lightweight, rotomolded hull sings when under optional Sail kit power.

Specifications:

  • Crew: 1
  • Length: 13' 5" / 4.09 m
  • Width: 28.5" / .72 m

Fun alone and even more fun with a friend, the Hobie Mirage Outfitter is the ideal all-day boat.

The design brief was simple: create an easy-to-use, performance-minded, rotomolded polyethylene kayak that provides years of reliable service. Built-in drink holders and utility trays, dual helms and MirageDrives—plus a mast step for the optional Sail kit—give the Outfitter serious legs, and the boat’s wide beam, relative to its tidy length, delivers a stable, stowable and comfortable platform.

tandemisland-hibiscus Hobie Tandem Island

The puff of wind hits and the Hobie Mirage Tandem Island’s leeward ama chisels into the water, its efficient, square-topped mainsail immediately translating increased wind speed into extra boat speed.

The Tandem Island’s two-piece carbon composite rig minimizes weight aloft—thus stiffening the ride—and both cockpits are fitted with steerage and sail-handling controls, allowing sailors of all abilities to share the experience. Best yet, the Tandem Island is equipped with enough hatches and on-deck stowage for multi-day escapes. This is Hobie’s ultimate blue water hunter, capable of marlin-teasing trolling speeds.

kona-papaya Hobie Kona

The Hobie Kona is a round peg that fits many different holes: in two-person configuration, it provides a stable ride and snappy, spin-in-a-second performance; when paddling alone, the boat’s molded center seat keeps the boat sitting on her lines. The Kona’s rotomolded polyethylene hull couples a wide beam with a relatively short waterline, delivering the responsive, stable performance usually found on longer boats. Carrying handles and on-hull paddle storage simplify portaging, and the deluxe, adjustable padded seats support your back and encourage longer excursions.

Specifications:

  • Crew: 1-2
  • Length: 11' 6" / 3.51 m
  • Width: 34" / .86 m

The Odyssey is a super-fun ticket for the whole crew. The Hobie Odyssey is the ultimate one or two-person paddling kayak that rewards clean strokes with range, speed and performance tracking.

While the Odyssey carries a trim width relative to its sleek, 14-foot waterline, its cleverly designed rotomolded polyethylene hull provides ample form stability for casting, catching or getting a novice out on the water. Its impressive payload and smart deck configuration provide plenty of space for crew members and equipment, and the center seat ensures proper balance for solo outings.

Center the skin over your wakeboard and tape it to a flat surface to prevent movement. Make sure it is exactly how you want it positioned on the wakeboard.

Working your way from the center of the board outward, use a squeegee (or a smooth, flat edged item) to work out air bubbles between the skin and your board.
