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!!
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 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.
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 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.
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....
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!
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🤞
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) ....
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!
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 👌🏼
Great review mate, and awesome that you're updating reviews when new products become availbale for comparison. Slate blue colour for me, but wouldn't be dissapointed when a bay sands rocked up at the front door.
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
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!!
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
Thanks for another awesome review, ticked all the boxes and answered all the questions as usual. Well done mate. Both colours are nice but I’d have to say the Bay Sands is my pick! Keen for the Compass review!
Solid review Byron. Your review on the Outback helped with my decision to pull the trigger recently, hopefully this does the same for those who have been eyeing off the Passports. Kudos to HWS for their ongoing support of your channel. Cracking YFW by the way - looked a thumper!
Thanks for the review Byron, you've taught me a lot about kayak fishing over the last year. It was one of your videos that got me started in kayak fishing a year ago about doing fishing comps. I am now looking to upgrade from my paddle kayak and this 12" passport looks great. It's not too big to car top which is what I like about kayak fishing. I can strap it on the roof in 10 minutes and be off and on the water in no time. This looks the goods with a couple of upgrades and I like the Bay Sand Colour. cheers.
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 👍🏽
Another great review and wow coming in at 37/38kgs for the 12ft is easily handled along with the new drive is just awesome! Slate blue looks like a great colour as well!
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.
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.
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...
Great Review, really enjoyed it as we are looking for a second Yak for my family and it was very informative. I would like to see a gun metal grey with some light blue flare. Thanks to HWS for there ongoing support aswell, in all aspects of Yack fishing! Cheers (Dan Snow on FB comment)
Great video again man, killing it! Have been curious on the rudder system so was glad you touched on that. I like the Bay Sands colour - looks nice and stealthy.
Great review Byron. Bay sands would almost match my Ivory Dune Outback, but I’d take the Slate Blue for something different. I think the Passport 12 would be perfect for my wife - not too heavy or complicated with all the great features that makes Hobie kayaks a fishing machine.
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
Byron love your work mate, every time a video comes up I can’t wait to put it on the tv and watch it. So much detail. Well done on your video skills. Loved you ep on ALF with doc. Bay sands is a mad colour for something different.
I also use HWS great guys to deal with.
Great review !!! I pick up my Bay Sands Passport 12 next week
Have fun!
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!!
Slate blue really caught my eye. Thanks Byron for putting out such another fantastic video
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 love the Bay Sands colour! Looks like an awesome boat, great review! Thanks very much.
Our pleasure!

Amazing review byron, the colours look amazing with the sand colour, looks extremly stable and has a lot of storage

Something about that SLATE BLUE does it for me
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🤞
Slate Blue looks cool! Definitely the best look for 2021.
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!

I like the slate blue Byron. Once again another solid video mate. Good to see the sponsorship from HWS.
Glad you enjoyed it, they're a great bunch of blokes.
Would have to be the Bay sands colour for sure thanks for the opportunity!

Totally agree!
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!!

Mate, you wont be disappointed, give HWS a call and let them know you saw the video, they will take care of you buddy.
Bay Sands is my preference - little easier to camoflage as a photo platform. Great video!
Been wanting to get in a Hobie for a while!!! And that was some kickass B-roll brotha 🤙

Keen for the Compass review!
Solid review Byron. Your review on the Outback helped with my decision to pull the trigger recently, hopefully this does the same for those who have been eyeing off the Passports.
Kudos to HWS for their ongoing support of your channel.
Cracking YFW by the way - looked a thumper!
Glad I could help Paul, that outback is a cracking vessel!!!

Glad you like them! I don't know about where they will go, just got an awesome bunch of guys around me mate

Definitely like that blue! Great review!
Great review on the kayak mate , the bay sands colour looks tops!! would be awesome to fish out off
It was! Could be in your driveway soon
Bay Sands is gorgeous, beautifully understated.
I'm more of a camo type of guy so the bay sand is the perfect color for me.
Slate blue would be my go to hands down 🙌🏻, love your work Byron and HWS
Thanks Jesse
Great review , thanks 🙏 mate , just bought one . 1st ever kayak for me .
Good choice!
Was gonna go the 10.5 but you might have just convinced me otherwise! Slate blue all the way colour wise. Good stuff again Hilly, great video!
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..

My pleasure buddy, great to see you here again mate
I’m 3 years late 😂 still love the enthusiasm and the video
Slate blue looks sick! Always been my dream to own a Hobie.
We'll you're in with a chance!
Slate blue is one of the best looking kayaks out there
Keep doing what you are already love the vids keep it up👍
Thanks! Will do!
I love the Kayak and I don’t mind the colour just the kayak to catch some big fish I love the review mate
Bay sands is my preferred colour. Thanks for another great review.
Cheers mate
Great review Byron. Bay sands would almost match my Ivory Dune Outback, but I’d take the Slate Blue for something different. I think the Passport 12 would be perfect for my wife - not too heavy or complicated with all the great features that makes Hobie kayaks a fishing machine.
Yeah Matthew, great choice mate - It's great for the family as a secondary kayak
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
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
Thanks Alex, mate get out on the water, fishing is bloody beautiful
Blue is my Favourite colour for anything. So definitely slate blue. The new colour is nice also
Good choice Snorkie
Byron love your work mate, every time a video comes up I can’t wait to put it on the tv and watch it. So much detail. Well done on your video skills. Loved you ep on ALF with doc. Bay sands is a mad colour for something different.
Awesome Gavan, thanks for your support mate!!!
Hectic vid man. Slate Blue looks sooo good man.
Slate blue will be so dope! Perfect for the estuaries where no boats can enter. Kayak advantage 101!
100% the edge
