Review Detail

Being a plus sized female at about 5 foot 6 and 240 lbs the thought of buying my first yak after never kayaking before was intimidating. I did as much research as I could, did a trial run and loved it. My primary use will be for lake and calmer river fishing. I've found it easy to rig and a breeze to peddle. My first tirp I spent over 3 hours peddling around the lake with no problems whatsoever. I'm very happy with my purchase and would definitely buy another one. My only comments are I wish they had thought out a little more to make it easier to get the scupper cart back under the yak when you are done for the day. I hate having to hassle around with it, wound up having to unload my stuff at the shore to turn the boat on it's side to put the scupper cart in to transport back to my truck. It needs more places standard to tie things to. It would be great if they could get the price down, $1749 plus extras really hurts - would have a lot more Hobie friends out there if they did.
