HOBIE MIRAGE REVOLUTION 11 The defining feature on the Mirage Revolution 11 is Hobie’s patented MirageDrive. The self-centering padded pedals are connected to two underwater flippers, much like penguin wings; and are locked and unlocked from the kayak with the Click and Go system. Steering is controlled via oversized fingertip steering handle on the left side, making it easy to cast, hook, and land fish while maneuvering to that secret spot.

Mel,

I didn't need to see this, I've spent to much money this summer already,  why don't you just sell me yours? Help a brotha out!!!

I guess it would be a good river boat.  If I were to get one, I'd definitely go with the original Revo.

+1.  Bwtween my Adventure (16') and Sport (9.5'), I think the 13' Revo would fit into the lineup nicely to fit all fishing  needs.

I concur, just a shorter version.  I guess it would be lighter and faster? maybe even cheaper? Thanks for this, bro.

The video shows MSRP $1749 that's only $50 less than the 13.

I've got an Adventure and Outback but was thinking the same thing, Revo 13 would be next for me. 

Although it occurred to me that my youngest will need a yak in the hear future and maybe instead of the Sport, I'll have to look into the Revo 11.

How do you like the sport? I'm hoping to find the yak only for a good price and it'd be great for short morning trips.

Their video shows mainly kids using it.  You made a great point.  Hobie is likely targeting the younger kayakers. 

more in-depth, I guess..

The 11 footer is a mere pimple of a boat.  Why would you want a tintsey boat?  Man up, and get a ship.  Longer is always faster, and speed can equal safety on the pond.  Sorry I might be consuming adult beverage.
