La Jolla 9/21 It sucked - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

one down-side of the Hobies, in my opinion, is they are much less responsive in the surf. With my old Ocean Kayak Prowler 13, and Cobra tandem, 15 years of surf launching and landing without every turning over, or even close, and the Hobie is much more tricky. You take out the pedals, and then water comes through the middle, and no rocker in the nose. I guess they are "almost" perfect.
