Cheers Bryan! I love seeing the videos of other people enjoying their Hobie's all around the world.. Bandicoots are pretty harmless, we also get big goannas and wild bush turkeys raiding our camps here 😆 Raccoons would be next level though!
@@hooked_on_adventure no poisonous snakes? I had a friend in AUS once who pulled a camping trailer that kept their tent way off the ground to help avoid killer bugs, frogs, snakes and other nasty fauna.
Love the mods to the TI mate. You've turned it into an even better fishing platform. That hammock looked the part as well. I don't think by back would thank me for sleeping in it though. But it's certainly a neat bit of kit. Great camera and editing work btw. Very professional. Keep 'em coming. Cheers
Thanks Roger. Yeah, I am really pleased with the deck. The hammock is surprisingly comfortable and relatively flat for a hammock. I slept like a log that night!
Those whiting are so funny, I'm always amazed at how the small ones are so aggressive in their feeding! You got some really cool footage! Cheers for sharing it well done!
Thanks for watching! Yeah the whiting were smashing the beach worm. I was amazed at how many there were down there.. the underwater camera always gets cool footage.
Love hammock camping been doing it a few years now on my motorcycle trips. I don't wake up with a sore back and shoulders! I have a DD Super light jungle which can be used as a swag as well but have only slept on the ground twice in 4 years. It is even more comfortable with a hiking air mattress and also keeps the draft off your back. Hennessy and Warbonnet blackbird were the other 2 hammocks I considered.
@@Pi-md4cg . My greatest fear is falling off and not being able to get back to the kayak... wind and currents would separate you very quickly. But I mitigate that risk by wearing a life jacket ( when I am at sea) and I have a mobile phone with me, a VHF radio and a PLB (personal locating beacon) all on my life jacket. The risk is part of the fun and adventure!
I used a narca 5 and a 16’ canoe to make a trimaran - put some plank decking so I can stand on out riggers. Can paddle or electric motor - $1300 in all Love you shots, good deck...
Enjoyed your video, even though I’m not keen on fishing. Hobie make great products. We have taken our TI out a few times now at Garden Island Dolphin Sanctuary (Adl) and it is a lot of fun. Trampolines are great for the dog.
A tip for sleeping in hammocks especially asymmetrical hammocks. You should be laying on the diagonal. You will be much flatter. Awesome video. I definitely see an Adventure Island in my near future!
It's cool hey. We just call them by different names! Except for Wahoo, only the Hawaiians call them something different.. they call them Ono which means 'good to eat' 🐟🐟
Kayak camping with my Hennessy hammock is something I've talked about for years, and the Hobie Tandem Island is my dream kayak... This looks so fun, well done with the footage as well
Thanks! Camping with a hammock makes so much sense. You should follow your dream and get a TI! They are the best! I'm almost finished my next video, so look out for that soon 😁
Really like the deck you put in, I'm looking at ways to create a platform so I can pitch a tent on the TI and this has given me some inspiration. Also great how you step through a lot of your gear/setup, thanks for that - appreciate it! Would be great to see a walkthrough video at some stage ! :) Top effort!
Thanks Damian! I have been thinking of doing a setup video as the TI gets lots of interest. I have given some thought to sleeping on board and tried to rig up the hammock using some supports that I made. But I had to brace it using straps around the hull and my weight on the hammock started to bend the plastic badly so I abandoned that idea. A tent would be cool, but you'd need a decent platform... let me know what you come up with!
I'll be doing a trip down that way next month for croctober. ;) It's a great spot, but i always take buckets of bushmans! Love the sailing hobie, a TI is definitely the next yak in my stable once i have the room for it, with the spinnaker. Mmmm.
Can you share any plans for the deck you built for you Hobie? Great videos btw. Loved that onewith the rogue wave, thatcould have been a disaster but you fared quite well.
Priceless! Loved this. I'm from Suffolk Park near Byron and am picking up an Adventure Island from Forster in a few weeks time. I have an awesome 1kg ultra light hiking tent and I think it will fit on one of the tramps pretty easily! I was eagerly waiting on your review of your hammock sleep as I've never slept in one and I prefer to be flat. You seemed to give it the thumbs up! Where did you film this pls? Thanks Deb
Howdy! I am over near nimbin way, but spend a lot of time down at Bruns. Had any great adventures lately? I just got an adventure Is, thinking about some good trips....
Great to see another hobie kayak channel , nice neat set up to mate , have subbed and look forward to more vids mate , I’m up in Qld if you ever wanna tag along for a trip :)
I got a revo 16 with a sail here in qld too. Gladstone actually. We should get together. The kayakers here love getting together for camping/fishing trips in the hobies.
@@CDTJosh I'm going to 1770 at the end of this month with a few other guys all with Hobie Adventure Island or Tandem Islands 👍 Hopefully the weather behaves and we can get stuck into some food fish!
Mate, your vids are awesome. Obviously put a lot of thought and planning into the shots and editing. Hot tip re: the hammocks - hammocks are supposed to be slept in width-wise...
Hi. I have the AI in the same colour and love it. Dream of doing an overnight camp like you have. What are the brand and model of rod holders on the outrigger arms? I am thinking to use something like this to hold a big transducer in the water. They say Lorance ready but you can only fit the little crap transducer in the flush mount, the bigger cover they sell is going to get ripped off when you put it on a trailer. Have you looked into any of these transducer issues
Cheers! This was my first and so far only camping trip on my Tandem Island. Looking forward to doing more this year, just need to stop working so much!
Yes it is a tandem. However, I have built a wooden deck that covers the front seat. It serves as a storage area and a stable place to stand, but comes off by releasing a few straps.
Hoo boy we've watched this enough times to get frequent flyers! We are to see a Tandem AI tomorrow yewww! ⛵🌊🎣🤙✌💥
Oh that's exciting! They are so much fun!
Those shots of you coming and leaving the beaches were worth the trouble, well done
Cheers! Yeah it's a pain at the time, but you're right. It's worth it!
The underwater footage is an A+ touch. Great job
Thanks for that! Yeah I love seeing the fish behaving naturally around a bait. Gives insight into how they act which can lead to catching more fish!
Love the videos from our brothers down under. No bandicoots here in America, but we do have raccoons.
Cheers Bryan! I love seeing the videos of other people enjoying their Hobie's all around the world..

@@sgarcata they are there, but don't bother me. The worst thing on this trip was the small sand flies that bite non stop at dawn and dusk..

Stupendo ! Un sogno .. Grazie per aver condiviso con tutti , questa piccola avventura .
Cool Nate....very nice. The Hobbie seems to be doing the trick for you. That underwater footage of the whiting was cool 😎.
Cheers! Yeah I am loving it!
It doesn't handle surf very well which is the only downside. Ive still got the Stealth though

you sir are living my dream while i sit here and working behind my desk. i need to take my hobie out more and go camping.
I need to do much more of it myself!
There is no other watercraft or vessel that can be used for so many wonderful endeavors as the Hobie Island boats.
Im loving it! Looking forward to pushing the boundaries out to sea on longer trips and catching some big fish soon
@@hooked_on_adventure it doesn't make you anxious being in the ocean alone

So much fun!

The TI and AI are such a clever design. They have thought of everything..
The Dolphin Sanctuary sounds like a nice place to sail!

Thanks for that! Was super comfy lying straight, but will definitely try the diagonal next time..
The Adventure Islands are so much fun!
so crazy that you're catching all of the same fish we have here in Florida!
It's cool hey. We just call them by different names! Except for Wahoo, only the Hawaiians call them something different.. they call them Ono which means 'good to eat' 🐟🐟

Thanks for not dubbing crap music onto the vid. The sounds of nature are much better. Great vid. Cute lisp.
I'll be doing a trip down that way next month for croctober. ;) It's a great spot, but i always take buckets of bushmans!
Love the sailing hobie, a TI is definitely the next yak in my stable once i have the room for it, with the spinnaker. Mmmm.
I really regretted not taking some insect repellent on that trip! Love my TI though!
Jacobs Well mate, nicely done, I yak camp a lot done near the Pin in a few spots.
Great spot! It was full of weed on that trip though which made fishing hard.
@@hooked_on_adventure yeah mate, I did a 5 day solo trip down there two weeks ago catch n cook, but left both go pros at home, iPhone footage only.
@@kwikflikzyakadventures3795 cool, ill check it out!

The video has convinced me that it is time to sell my heavy sailboat and get a Tandem Island.
You won't regret it!
@@Jarrod_D I can transport it on the roof of my ute - a trailer isn't necessary. Have you used one before? They are so much fun!
Outstanding.
Cheers Tom!
Great to see another hobie kayak channel , nice neat set up to mate , have subbed and look forward to more vids mate , I’m up in Qld if you ever wanna tag along for a trip :)
Cheers mate! Yeah I've been watching your vids! Heading up to 1770 next month 👍 hopefully get stuck into some bigger fish
Hooked on Adventure where are you based out off?

Nice editing on the shore fishing... or was that the same fish over and over again? :-)
Haha thanks! If it was the same fish, it wasn't very smart!
ETA que vidão !!!
Ciao ti chiedo informazioni ,su hoby tandem ,è un 2 posti
Is the Hammock Crocodile 🐊 proof ? MERRY CHRISTMAS MATE.
Lol if you put it high enough! No crocs where we live tho. Merry Christmas!
Hennessy makes an asymmetrical hammock that you lay flat in.
Yeah I was really surprised at how flat and comfortable it was. I had a great sleep that night!
@@hooked_on_adventure you should actually lie in a slight angle. then it is totally flat.
Do you sail on the ocean or lakes
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great hat who makes it?
Akubra! Its genuine rabbit pelt!
@@hooked_on_adventure awesome which model it’s so sexy!👍
@@alexdecampos9889 haha
Its the Riverina. Its one of the widest brims. I love it!
Jumpin pin and straddie?
Yep! Sand fly heaven 🤣
Is this for two people?
Yes it is a tandem. However, I have built a wooden deck that covers the front seat. It serves as a storage area and a stable place to stand, but comes off by releasing a few straps.
🐢🐢🐢🐢cool
Thanks turtle boy ❤
Where is this?
South Stradbroke Island off the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia!
Dont throw the fish please!. Introduce it gentley to the water. Otherwise its vejiga pool can explode!
I've heard that it's good to throw fish in as it forces a rush of water through their gills?
Nice one, is this around Moreton Bay
