Faster? Slightly. So if you opt to go with the shorter model you get to the yt grounds a whopping 22 seconds faster than the old PA.

Just as stable? Almost a guarantee that it will be stable, but nowhere as stable as the big one.

Love Hobie, but I am thinking this may be a model that doesn't have a place. But who knows, maybe the redesign will incorporate something so cool that it's worth it too the masses. At the very least, it will be lighter.
