    Two weeks ago I bought an Escape model. I’ve only had it out 5 times but so far I absolutely love it. In fact loved it so much, let my son try it and we just had a second Escape for my son arrive today. Very good kayak, perfect for where/what we fish here in Ohio. The wheel on the rear of the kayak is a life saver.

    Of course we'd love an in-depth review on them all! They look like some of the ones I have previously owned by big names. And a lot cheaper, with the old Hobie drive that just makes them even better! I'm always looking for a good deal!

    Hi guys. I recently saw your video of this kayak and I'm sold on it. I was looking at the 14ft competition kayak but te price ($$$) was through the roof. When I saw the Stroke had a similar drive I was almost sold. The storage and built in multi use box sold me. Let's not forget the awesome price. WOW!! I called David the next day! Tank you for all the helpful videos.

    I am not all that impressed with the prices, but there certainly is a great need for competitive pricing in fishing kayaks. Interestingly, for about half the price of some of those kayaks, you can purchase a Pelican Bass Raider WITH an electric trolling motor and battery and have a boat with much greater stability but similar construction and materials. I would like to see information about the actual cost of manufacture of these kayaks.

    The built in cooler is an interesting feature. As we’ve all seen, the knockoff drive systems haven’t fared too well in actual use. I don’t see any reason to expect that this brand would be better at making reliable pedal drives than Pelican has been so far.
    That said, I DO personally think these have a place in the market as a budget option for people who can’t or won’t spend the money for a Hobie.

      Honestly i really wouldn't call them knock offs at this point. Hobies original patent expired to open domain, so the main mechanism is a near identical copy. Hobies other stuff like kickup,180,360 etc are still under patent. However im honestly surprised actual Chinese knock offs haven't been popping up (kinda hoping they will, because it will force legit companies to drop prices instead of running with the insane markup price model). Take Hobie accessories for example 10 dollar wheels, charge 200 bucks. Sell 20 bucks worth of materials as a sail kit, 500 bucks.

      Yep and meanwhile from 2017 through this year, they put out so much more new tech and patents. I bought my Hobies second hand and would buy them again. You get what you pay for in almost every case. There's not one thing on any Hobie you cannot replace or service by yourself. Twenty years from now, I know I'll still have a working boat. That "Paradise" killed me. Total Oasis knock off. All models were a direct Hobie model knock off.

I'd rather just buy the used hobies for less money and more accessories from the people who just have to upgrade to the latest and greatest.

    Calling these budget kayaks is an outright lie and makes me wonder if this video is nothing more than a youtube commercial. These kayak cost about the same as a Hobie so why would anyone take a chance on a new brand that might not hold up over time when you know Hobie is top quality? The cheapest price for a pedal drive on the Stroke website is $2200 for the 10 foot with price going all the way up to $4000. These are not cheap kayaks and for the money I'd rather buy a more well known brand with an established track record.

    • @SlotCityFishing

      I didn’t get paid a dime to make this video aside from UA-cam ad revenue which is a very small amount. If you contact the owner of the store I mentioned in the video he will honor the prices i mentioned. At the prices he offers with the accessories you get this is a great deal not an outright lie.
