Just a note from someone who has a lot of time in the seat of a Hobie; when you were rushing to your friend you are actually making yourself slower trying to pedal so hard / fast. Now listen I get it, in the moment that is how it happens. But for those who may need to rush in the future a but if a advice, the mirage and 360 drives will get you there faster with slower, smooth, full strokes that stop just shy of hitting the bottom of the hull. Glad you guys are ok! I have been up in many trees with the PA getting stuff back.

Thanks for watching!
I don’t understand why you’re saying don’t go get a snag in the mangroves. I do this all the time and have never flipped?
Glad it was not worse...that area looks like Double Branch Bay...Tampa...?
Close. Actually Weedon island. Thanks for watching!
So glad this was not more serious!! How did he manage to roll that hull?
He was standing up to get untangled from a mangrove and just got a little too confident and reached too far out to grab a limb. Thank you
It's actually not a hard kayak to flip. Once you hit the point of no return there is no recovering.
If ya don’t wana tip over get an old town so much more stable then a PA
I have Been in a Hobie since 2018, and I have never had a problem. He just made a bad choice.
Hello brothers, what's happed?
He was staring up to untangle his line from a tree and leaned too far out causing the boat to roll over with the current
