So today I was able to get off work early and decided to take Yum-Yum out to lake Natoma to play in the water. This was my first time pedaling a Hobie and it took some getting use to. Before I went out I put the sailing rudder on it and wow does that thing turn fast. I am use to a wider kayak than the revo so it was a little tippy. I will get use to it tough.

U pulled a plug for a few (no fish) then just kinda chilled out and let the wind push me along. It was really looking at how I wanted the rig Yum-Yum up. I have some ideas off of others and will incorporate a few of my own.

Any day on the water is a good day.

Being an honorable sportsman is way more important than what you catch.

How do you like the seat? That's my only complain about my Revo. It gives me some lower back discomfort after a while. I want to upgrade to a different one but don't know what better options are out there.

Towards the end I finally got the seat straps adjusted so I was sitting more upright and them it wasn't to bad.

Sweet looking ride there James.

On my 08 outback seats, it had a huge lumbar cushion so it wasn't that bad.  But these newer seats with the inflatable lumbar support don't look so comfy.  The inflatable part doesn't seem like it'll do much supporting.  It almost looks deflated in its fully inflated state. 

But as Rider mentioned, if you pull your straps so the seat is in a more upright position, it should be easier on your back.
