That rudder control looks a lot like the stick steering that is ever so popular in the FL/LA market with boats.  Takes just a short bit to get used to ... Kinda like a sailboat rudder. :smt044

Why not mount the tiller on a horizontal surface so you can have a left right control? Having a fore aft tiller control is not intuitive at all.

One gets used to a different rudder control than Hobie's in a hurry. Having the control out of the way is more important than repeating Hobie's system.

If you put Hobie's knob on their rudder control, it becomes a challenge to self-rescue on that side of the boat---at least on my 2013 Adventure. It looks like that's not going to be an issue with the G2.

 Not going to have an issue with the self rescue , its darn near impossible to flip that bad boy  :smt003

Not to mention that you can all but walk up onto the stern to get back in if you fall off while using it as an SUP.  :smt044

    Mental Telepathy.  :smt003

     Man,,, I've been at the shop all week long,,, not a soul dropped by.    Lonely out there...  LOL.     Got them all rigged, except for the last parts all scheduled to be delivered tomorrow , late.   
   Sunday is probably going to be the best day for everyone to come in and grab their pre-orders.    You saved a ton!   Price on this is $1,540.00  plus tax.      (Those that pre-purchased, sales tax is due at time of pick-up.  )
  Thanks to all for your help, and patience waiting for this to launch!   :smt006   Last few months seem like a year to me.

Does that $1,540 include the drive adapter, rudder, and comfort seat?

Can you provide some dimensions, specifically the width at a couple of places? I am going to be in the market for another kayak in a couple of months and want to see if the G2 will fit on my roof rack next to my revo.

    Stop by my shop with your Revo loaded next time you're passing through.  We can see what's the best way to load it.    Also you can take one out for a demo .   Elkhorn Slough is a short drive away.

   The back end is 34" at it's widest.  It seems to nest well with other kayaks.
