I wonder how fast the other yak companies are scrambling to develop their own "leg driven mechanical propulsion system"?
I talked with a kayak shop owner in the Channel Islands Harbor, he had a discussion with the owner of Wilderness kayaks, the Wilderness owner said he had put his best designers on it, and could not come up with an alternate pedal drive. It must be 30% different than Hobies. He tried propeller, etc. He said Hobie had really done their homework and their system was so well thought out, that everyone would have to wait for the patent to run out.
