I've been paddling for a while now and I really didn't believe the hype of the mirage drives until seeing one pass me by on a very windy day.  I originally thought he had a trolling motor on from afar  :smt012  Also I've never heard of anyone trying a Hobie then go back to paddling.  Well, my brother doesn't really kayak much but since I retired from the military and have come home, he wants to go out on the water with me, that's our bro bonding time lol.  I sustained some injuries to my wrist, back and shoulder from my last tour in Afghanistan so that helped with my decision to want to try a Hobie.   If any one knows anyone selling one or two of them I'd be interested.  Willing to pay up to 1500 each depending condition, don't really want a tandem, and also I have an OK Scrambler and an OK Malibu two XL Angler if you want any of those plus cash.  I live in San Pablo, east SF bay and willing to drive 2-3 hours to pick up.  Thanks
