Hi,

Brand new to kayaking but very experience boater on the ocean.  Can any "yak" experts tell me the pro's and con's on this brand kayak?  Don't want to look like white shark bait with the pedal system but I really like the concept.

Thanks in advance, Eric

with a name like whitesharkseeker, I can say this is definately the boat for you. i actually  dont own a hobie myself but i have peddled the adventure a few times and i believe they are great boats. the mirage drive is a very efficient means of propulsion. furthermore, hobie boats are very well thought out in their design. the only con ican think of is that the peddles take-up some valuable deckspace that could otherwise be used for mixing margaritas. if you are concerned about sharks,get a shark-shield.

WttM.....  :smt006

 The Adventure Island is a Lot of Boat ( Your talking about the one with outriggers and a 18' sail, Right? )

 Lot to deal with just starting out...

 Try 'em out, I like the Outback for just plain comfort and stability,  Revo abit more nimble and quicker

 adventure, even more nimble and Quick...

 as far as SharkBait,  I really don't think the LandLord cares what make of Kayak you Have..

 They all taste the same.... :smt106

 Good luck with that Handle, should go well with the news report if ya ever find Him or Her.... :smt002
