    Hey Mike, how does this kayak compare in terms of stability to the 12’ model you tested about a year prior? Does it paddle that much easier to make up for any lost stability? I’m a 6’ 190lb guy and looking at both models. Thanks a bunch

      @ yes. very stable. It would be hard for me to intentionally flip it. Only time it feels a little unstable is if waves are coming in and hits you sideways from a boat or something. Always take the waves head on.

    Nice catch and great people!!! Got mad respect for Mike and the wife. I first met him at the San Antonio store when my wife got head butted by this crazy dog. Mike was not a happy camper, then the Mrs. Morales saved my week long birthday trip with those fins. She even said for the money we spent they would do the install on two hobie drives. Not to mention she didn’t stop there. She went and got the tools for Mike to do a tuneup. The Master tuned our drives!!! My wife can’t tell the difference in a new oil change but she sure does love that drive after Mike touched it 🎉🎉🎉.

      @killough71010 7 місяців тому

      I just picked one up and I'm very impressed with it. I would say it's Hobie Outback on water performance it cruises at 4 mph and can reach a top speed/ sprint speed of 6 mph. I'm 61 192 to 195 and in the highest position I do not feel it's Tippy at all so if you're around my size or under your on water performance will be similar or better than my experience.
