Mirage drive can fail this way...

Launched this morning 5:30am with 1 to 2 feet wave, piece of cake....
Paddle a little and change to mirage drive.. one, two , three...CRACK !!!

Right side of drive post is now half hanging..!
This never happened to me in the 5 Hobie kayaks I own before..

No trolling for wsb or yellow today.
Went ahead and use my Hobie paddle to the squid ground and had some fun collecting some squids.. head home 9am.

My 2012 Revo13 sure is not designed for paddle...Lots of corrective paddle, now I really appreciate the mirage drive power.. ( glad too , I don't have Pro Angler 14 to paddle back to shore)..

Heading to Fastlane kayak soon....
