plan on taking a course or 2 to learn how to kayak safely. Thanks, Mike


There is but one, because you can't fish and paddle at the same time, it
is the Hobie Out Back Fisherman, This thing is amazing, especially the
foot powered drive, and it's stability and SPEED !!!!!!!!!! it will out
run anyone in any other kind of human powered boat, with half the
effort, it will let you cover more water easier, of course it can still
be paddled. I have a photo of mine on the front of my web site

There are others than the Outback! The paddle drive would be a hindrance in
any surf conditions. Try www.kayakfishing.com and book a school day. They
furnish everything. They have several different locations. They are
headquared in the La Jolla area. Allan's Kayaks in San Diego is right on
Mission bay and there are free demos of all his yaks.

The drive flips up, and out of the way in a simple stroke, then you can
use your attached paddle, I can not see where it is a hindrance in any
situation, at least mine has not been even in very skinny water,, I
would not want to run white water with it in the drive position, but it
takes 5 seconds to remove the drive completely, and slip it under one of
the bungee straps on top of the boat,, then reinstall it when the
conditions allow for it's use.

ANother great feature for the out back is the sail kit, if you want to
cover a huge amount of water without having to paddle or peddle. I have
a friend who trolls for king mack's and tarpon 2 miles out with the sail.
