Man for a minute there I thought that Matt "hates to be called Flipper" Moyer was having another kid

There are a few peddle drive boats out there but nothing comes close to comparing to the Hobie system as far as quality and usability. That style peddle drive is going to have more resistance than the Mirage Drive system.

That picture of the women in the yak with the
crouched down German Shepard is classic.

Are we getting bored with the current design of kayaks on the market?

I was thinking of getting one of these for Blacks.

I tested one of those Native watercraft peddle boats at OR this year, seriously not impressed. The only advantage over the Hobie was the ability to go in reverse, other than that not worth the time as far as I was concerned.

You can go in reverse in a Hobie. Just turn the drive around.
