I have a hobie and I definantly could not afford it.....there's just no substitute!! With the introduction of the PA and the new "super" adventure islang thing, Hobie needs to have inhouse financing and pre-rigged packages....just think, $99 a month for 36 months, for a kayak!!!
.... and if you keep an eye out you just might see some of those "sponsored" guys peddling around too....
