Looks uncomfortable. I don't know much about this product so here are my assumptions about it when compared to the Hobie MirageDrive

First and foremost one of the advantages I enjoy about the MirageDrive is that unlike this wavewalker thing you can adjust the pedals. Although the adjustment feature was built to adjust to a users height I tend to adjust it based on how I'm fishing. As an example when I launch I will adjust the pedals to the number 4 slot, this gives me more movement on the pedals and helps me stretch out my legs. Once I'm ready to fish I will adjust the peddles to the number 5 or 6 slot, this allows me to keep my legs stretched out and keeps my knees out of my chest. Moving the peddles back will also allow me to hold my rod in my hand without having to worry about my knees coming up toward my chest. I plan on moving a long distance I will re-adjust to the number 4 slot.


The wavewalker looks like it works but the fact that peddle movement is set and cannot be adjusted tall people will find themselves with their knees in their chest while height challenged individuals may find it hard to get their legs extended far enough to keep their foot/feet on the peddles when the peddles are at their furthest point....I think
