Any on the water testing?  Looks good!
Dallas.   Demo event.  We raced a Viking 200 yds to the bouy.    Viking won by only a boat length.
  The wake from a 250 lb paddler was non-existent. It turns easier, faster, and I headed into some deep choppy water to see how the change in the bow shape worked to eliminate hull slap I'd sometimes get. Zero slappyness!
  (I just make up words )  Very happy with the results !

Do you have an estimated release date?  I'm very interested in a G2 with the mirage drive adapter, rudder, and comfort seat.  I'm moving to So Cal mid-June and was hoping to pick a G2 up before then, is that going to be a possibility?  Do you have dealers in North San Diego County?

Was the race with the Viking strictly paddle or were you using a mirage drive ?

I want to demo this new kayak since it can do both paddle and peddle. I can not paddle my revo13. One of my leg gone cramp and it stuck at sea.

I'm pretty interested in this kayak  but those rigid side handles could get in the way, especially when diving. Wonder if I could swap  out for webbing.

    Already removed those side handles,,, swapped out for webbing style.   

    Sonny,, Yours will be ready Tuesday afternoon.    Just waiting on the hatch cover to arrive for the "Gear Pod"

    I only have three of the Gear pods..   Hoping the rest will arrive this week.  They've had the order for weeks now.... :smt012

Is it too late to change my name to Sonny?

I got to try before I buy, (the minster of finance does not approve blind kayak purchases)but I think I was one of the first to post that the raptor with a peddle drive would be the perfect yak (IMHO). 

Dumb question, but any chance this will be set for a sail as well in the future?

As soon as I get mine, there'll be at least one sailing...
