Re: Paddle v Pedal kayak.

I started with a cheap paddle yak then upgraded then upgraded to pedal but if I was in the right situation I would own both, I currently have the PA14 and love it but now I need something more suited to my new adventure, I like the idea of a revo but it lacks that space I'm used too so I going for t...

Re: Waterproof Drone

Awesome Mav, I can't wait to see your first drone footage of a marlin jumping around the kayak. :up: I really hope I can get great footage of others hooked up to fish.

Re: Waterproof Drone

Looks good Pete, how long does the battery last on average? and big question can you charge them on the water? I like the idea of landing on the water to film underwater. After posting this I watched a few videos on youtube and it looks awesome, one guy even strapped a gopro to the bottom while anot...

Or is length on a hobie yak irrelev...

Re: Advice On A Kayak Westernport

I think I prefer the stability over speed as I dont think I'll be doing very long trips, so I think the outback maybe a better choice. I have looked on gumtree for a second hand one and they are hard to come across especially for under $2,000. But I am considering just buying the original yak liste...

Re: Hobie kayak rescue step

re entries aren't easy once the conditions start to deteriorate and we often practice when conditions are somewhat closer to perfect, anything that makes it easier/quicker to do is always good but you have to keep it's limitations in mind, although I haven't used one I think in some situations they ...
