Sruf Launching a Hobie - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I went from an X- Factor to an Outback so there is no weight diff for me. I have only been out on it three times and it is awesome..... The launch is fine, if you wade out into a couple feet you can use the mirage drive... Paddling out is easy as well. That landing is definitely more challenging, the Outback doesn't track as well as other yaks that I have used. I am sure with time I will get used to it, but the pro's far outweigh the con's. Plus you can text and drive and its not illegal... Go get one.
