Great White Shark Attack Paddle vs Pedal Numbers

I would wager that there were and still are magnitude differences in the numbers. Even in local SoCal markets, where Hobie does very well, they do not represent half of the kayaks or hours on the water. LJ might be the only notable exception to this, but only if you only consider fishing kayaks and not rentals. And the further you go back toward the inception of the Mirage drive, the larger the difference is going to be.
