Great review....... the Hobie Bay Sand color is amazing, an all white one with the black accessories would be nice in my eyes... I’d love one of these. Good luck to everyone....
I brought a passport 12 recently. One of the biggest deciding factors that made me choose the Passport over the Compass was the rudder system with the fibre glass rod. It is simply more responsive than any of the wire/cord rudder systems out there. My previous yak turned like a barge compared to the passport. I have since added a rectangular hatch and moved the circular hatch forward, added the internal wiring system for my sounder, upgraded the drive to 180MD and upgraded the rudder to the deployable version from the seat. All in all it’s a nice tidy little package now.
12 foot Blue state is my favorite color. This will be my dream come true, I've always wanted to have a kayak and glide through estuaries and other waterways and just flick some lures and catch some bream. Hopefully I win🤞
Bay Sands all the way!!! Fantastic color against the water and the contrast between the yak and the black of most rod holders and sounders would be super cool!!
Slate blue all day!! Got your channel a few days ago, went bream fishing for the first time in 2 years been chasing bass instead and purchased some slippery dogs and bent minnows. Unlucky for me for not having social media but love your work cheers!!
12 foot Bay Sands is my pick. I recently disposed of my very old Hobie Outback as it had a crack in the mirage drive part of the hull which I had repaired numerous times. It got to the point that every fishing trip resulted in the kayak completely filling up with water and weighing a tonne. 15 mins to empty before I could car top it!! I have been looking at new vs second hand Hobies and would be extremely grateful to win a brand new one. My life is not the same not having the ability to fish on my local dam (Googong) ....
My kayak fishing journey began in Passport 10.5, such a great introduction to yak fishing. The Bay Sands colour looks great cruising along the shallows.
The review was great. I just sold my two Pro Anglers. Too big for an old guy to handle anymore. But this one at 83 pounds! I need one of these. Thanks for the review. Best one I've seen.
My favourite colour is blue so it’ll have to be blue! I’m running just a sit in paddle yak atm and a hobbie would be goals for me!! This review is great for anyone looking for an upgrade also GL everyone 👍🏽
Dude, I never even liked Kayaks but I'm now hooked on your videos. I really think I'm going to buy one solely because of your reviews. Love them and the genuine way you present and compare features. but my kids would be all over one of these. Thanks for the time you put into these. Subscribed! ✌️👏. Slate Blue is a winner for me!
Honestly what a review if you where in the look for a new kayak and watched this you wouldn’t change your mind would have to pick slate colour but if any colour would pick yellow for my mum that just passed away who was always pushing me to fish as much as I can
Giveaway - Quick one on a fake account getting around! I don't need your credit card details to give away a kayak :) So keep them to yourself! Tight lines Legends!
Bay Sands caught my eye right away, it looks so sleek and tacticool! I can't comprehend how you have so many giveaways, but its absolutely awesome, thanks!
Thank you SO much and HWS for this opportunity! The bay sands is my favourite colour not just between the two but from all kayak colours I’ve ever seen!
I did start to watch this one bud but daddy duties must have taken my attention. Slate blue because my late brothers fav colour and he really wanted one of these when he was alive, raved about them.
Bay Sands!! Im in I have to Win At least one! hahah Love the Video again mate Always stoked watching you pull in some of the bigger ones!! Love it! Cheers Rich
Whoa!!! What an epic giveaway!!!!! This would be so amazing in the estuaries around my house. So many big bream up the river system, in the mangroves inaccessible to land based fishos. Another solid in depth review, & great drone shots too.. Thanks for the chance. 👍🏼
@@ByronTeaHill I’ve really been contemplating a kayak over a small boat in the last few months. With bream wising up to the sounds of electrics on boats, a kayak is a huge advantage when getting tight among the structure & reducing your chances of spooking the big ones...
Bay sands all the way! Thanks for the opportunity and for the content you create, you've helped to get me back out on the water and for that I thank you, my wallet wholeheartedly disagrees.
Great review mate - some really neat features on this model. Would love to get in on the giveaway for the bay sands colourway. Also props to HWS - you guys teaming up is going to make someone really happy! Best of luck to all
Slate blue mate, its a much better colour then the bright outback blue im currently running.. i cant hide anywhere 😅. The passport is the perfect kayak for the grey nomad/traveller i reckon, perfect to throw ontop of the campertrailer or 4x4 for cruising around Australia 👌🏼
Slate blue really caught my eye. Thanks Byron for putting out such another fantastic video
Awesome review.
Love the enthusiasm .
Slate blue would be my go to.
Stay safe.
Great review! I had been waiting on a good review on the 12 as I am thinking of buying one for myself. Really digging that Bay sand color.

This hobie kayak is my dream 😍 that bay sands colour is so slick and clean my favourite colour by far!
I'm more of a camo type of guy so the bay sand is the perfect color for me.
Slate blue all day!! Got your channel a few days ago, went bream fishing for the first time in 2 years been chasing bass instead and purchased some slippery dogs and bent minnows. Unlucky for me for not having social media but love your work cheers!!
I had a Tandem Island years ago and it was so fun to sail I often did it more than fishing!
Slate Blue for me.
Nice!!

My choice from the 2 options is Slate Blue but id also like a camo option if there was one, would help to utilize it during duck season
Bay Sands is the colour of them two love a camouflage yak. HWS are legends.
Blue is my Favourite colour for anything. So definitely slate blue. The new colour is nice also
Good choice Snorkie
I’m 3 years late 😂 still love the enthusiasm and the video
My kayak fishing journey began in Passport 10.5, such a great introduction to yak fishing. The Bay Sands colour looks great cruising along the shallows.
It's a bloody good space to start IMO
I would love a slate blue one. To fish the Yak hunters vic comp. Would be unreal. Thank you for giving everyone a chance to win
You're in, my pleasure Shaun.
The blue because it’s unique and looks really good
Slate blue will be so dope! Perfect for the estuaries where no boats can enter. Kayak advantage 101!
100% the edge
The review was great. I just sold my two Pro Anglers. Too big for an old guy to handle anymore. But this one at 83 pounds! I need one of these. Thanks for the review. Best one I've seen.
Slate blue!! Simply blue is my childhood favourite colour and the slate blue just looks mint!
The Slate Blue is my favourite colour, just a bit easier on the eye, and looks great in the water.
Good choice Shaun, you got the 10.5 in the blue right?
@@ByronTeaHill bought one for the wife. She was sick of waiting for us while we were out fishing the comps. Now she’s joining in 👍.
Bay Sands is my preference - little easier to camoflage as a photo platform. Great video!
My favourite colour is blue so it’ll have to be blue! I’m running just a sit in paddle yak atm and a hobbie would be goals for me!! This review is great for anyone looking for an upgrade also GL everyone 👍🏽
Good luck buddy! great to see you back watching the channel again
I love the bay sands colour because it’s natural look blends when fishing the flats
Nice Ryan, proper stealth
I love the Bay Sands colour! Looks like an awesome boat, great review! Thanks very much.
Our pleasure!
Slate blue looks mint, both colours are fairly respectable but blue all the way
I also use HWS great guys to deal with.
I have always been a fan of the slate blue

Great reviews mate , the Slade Blue in colour is the one for me. Thanks HWS for the chance to win , awesome giveaway. Keep the videos coming Byron
Entered, thanks Sean, will do
Both colours look great! But if I had to choose I'd go Bay Sands only by a whisker. If there was a camo colour that'd be dope too!
I got my 10.5 a few months ago, and although I haven't gone fishing yet, I think it works well for me being a small 5'3 girl lol
I did start to watch this one bud but daddy duties must have taken my attention. Slate blue because my late brothers fav colour and he really wanted one of these when he was alive, raved about them.

Awesome review! Love the Bay Sands colour as it blends in well when fishing the flats.
Totally agree!
Whoa!!! What an epic giveaway!!!!!

Another solid in depth review, & great drone shots too..

Thanks Benny! Glad you enjoyed it mate. It’s perfect for those estuaries IMO.

I love the Kayak and I don’t mind the colour just the kayak to catch some big fish I love the review mate
Bravo mate. Good to see fishos who are also passionate about yaks. Would love this Hobie in bay sands to match the flats I fish!
Love the slate blue! Keep up the awesome content mate really enjoying it and learning heaps!

Slate blue is one of the best looking kayaks out there

Great review of a great product
