I started out going open water with a 9'er and man, I never ever felt at ease. But now that I am in a longer and much more stable ride, I can relax more and have fun....because really that's what you want when you are out there. To have peace of mind and have fun.

Get a roof rack, its not that hard to load, and if you do have troubles there's plenty of ingenius ways to get the job done if you ask around.

Had a problem loading my outback onto my truck but after a little research, problem solved.

Get the PA 12 and use bungee cords. You will never regret it!

anythings possible. my buddy caught his first fish in the ocean on a 6 foot ocean kayak more suitable for surfing.

i may have posted this before but just to reassure you, there is ZERO problem with getting a shorter hobie, just some drawbacks.

if the pros outweigh the cons then fuggit
