Testing the 2018 Hobie Revolution 13 on Oahu

Frank is instructed by Bert of Windward Boats to set the comfy raised Vantage seat, secure the paddle, deploy the rudder, insert the Mirage Drive 180 pedals and go into reverse gear.
He takes the Revo 13 for a spin, then I do, and then I switch to the longer Turbo fins for increased propulsion. Made those Turbo fins really made a difference.
The stripped Revo 13, at 70 lbs, was easy to transport before we added the Mirage Drive, Vantage seat and paddle. It felt much quicker than the SOT paddle kayaks we have, and I could sit on the gunnel without concern of flipping. Definitely a sea worthy 13 ft kayak. But is it worth twice that of the best off shore paddle kayaks?
