Ron and Debbie Lane founded Fastlane Sailing Center in 1979 while living out of a Volkswagen Bus in the parking lot, and the family-owned sporting goods store still operates from its original location at 2590 Ingraham St in the 92109 ZIP code on the shore of Mission Bay. More than four decades later, Ron, Debbie, and their children Ava, Hayden, and Jared run the shop daily as Southern California’s largest Hobie Kayak dealer, stocking MirageDrive pedal kayaks for recreational and fishing use alongside stand-up paddleboards, Hobie catamarans, and accessories from YakAttack, Railblaza, Bixpy, Garmin, and Lowrance. Jared and Hayden Lane co-founded the surf and fishing apparel brand Salty Crew in 2014, and Fastlane carries one of the largest Salty Crew clothing selections anywhere as a result of that direct family connection. Customers can demo any kayak model on Mission Bay before buying, and the staff provides a full tutorial, free straps, and a Fastlane flag with every purchase, a level of hands-on service hard to find outside local shops near Flamingo Deck on the water. Google reviewers have awarded the shop a 4.8-star rating across nearly 90 reviews, and staff member Chris Minnick is recognized by name for his on-the-water kayak fishing expertise. Fastlane also hosts the Hobie Island Club and offers sea trial programs for the Hobie Island catamaran series, along with guided fishing experiences through its Fishn Mission program near the launches frequented by boaters heading toward Tidal on the bay. The store is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 AM to 5:30 PM and closed Sunday and Monday. All major credit cards and NFC mobile payments are accepted.
