Landing a Hobie Pedal Kayak
OK hobie mirage drive anglers who have perfected the art of landing your yak. What technique do you prefer when landing. Landings always seem the most difficult and exciting part of the trip depending on the final result. Bummer to lose gear when things do not go so well so let's hear your thoughts on landing techniques. Want to keep this discussion for pedal drive fishing yaks only since their design does not lend itself to "surfing" the landing and the fact that they offer 2 different methods of propulsion during landings. Hopefully, this discussion will help build confidence and save some $ in lost gear.
1. Surf it in under mirage drive power. 2. Surf it in under paddle power(drive and rudder up) . 3. Surf it in using both pedal and paddle. 4. Back it it with rudder and drive up using paddle only. 5. ??????????? * Timing sets and securing gear is a given. Mirage drive yaks getting sideways to the white water/wave also seems to be the norm. |
