Surf launch and Mackerel fishing // Hobie Tandem Adventure Island
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 сер 2024
- With the help from a couple of friends, I managed to launch my Hobie Tandem Island sailing kayak through the surf and out to one of my favorite fishing spots!
There isn't parking for my trailer at Fingal, so I had to transport the kayak on the roof of my truck. At the end of the video, you'll see how I load it on by myself.
Thank you for posting. I enjoy seeing you have fun and land the big ones.
Thanks Kevin! I enjoy sharing the experience 😁
Nice video Nathan. I'm happy to see you can still have fun fishing, sailing and peddling. Thanks for sharing. Your enjoyment is evident.
Thanks Lee! I love it 😁
@@hooked_on_adventure Too bad I didn't engage my brain before - should have been "pedaling"!!! Didn't mean that you were a peddler. I appreciate all the effort you put into creating and sharing your videos. Love your excitement when you get a fish on. Thanks again.
Well done Rog! Can’t complain about an effortless 10kmph! Boom! And that return was 👌🏻
It's like a magic carpet ride.. it's a whole new world!
@@hooked_on_adventure haha magic carpet! I love it!!
Epic vid Nate nice out there. So cool that you can cruise far out and back.looks like good fun.
Cheers mate. Yeah it's so cool.
Looking Great! Keep the videos coming!
Cheers James! Heading out tomorrow. Gunning for a wahoo!
Great video Nathan. Nice to see the TI in the surf.
Thanks Shane. The hardest part is getting started in the shore break. Once you have some forward momentum going, then you can tackle the next wave. Otherwise, your going to get turned sideways and it's going to go pear shaped very quickly..
Nice mate. A good looking Spaniard.
I've really got to get off my arse and order that fish bag.
Great work by the launch crew btw, they did well....😎
I'm looking forward to seeing the next vid already. Cheers.
Cheers Roger! Yeah I was stoked to land that Spaniard.. we are going to 1770 in a week's time, so looking forward to some epic fishing and sailing action up there!
It's beautiful nice Video very good
Great vid Nath, I’d love to have room for one of those, luck man 👍
Cheers Woodsy! You need to make room! It's all about priorities... my Hobie lives in my wife's garage spot and she parks on the driveway now 😆
Nailed that landing! 👌
Good session, looked like a great day.
Yeah was relieved to get back on the beach safely! Perfect day. Gunning for a Wahoo next. Hopefully that'll be the next video 🤞🤞
Great Video
Cheers Matt!
G'day Nathan. Super happy to find your channel. I'm about to purchase a TI myself for sailing and fishing adventures in the Med. I'd love to see a video of your boat with the mods you've made and what your planning for the future. Thank you
Same here! I'd love to see that hatch mod in the tandem seat... looks quite brilliant!
G'day mate! Sorry, somehow I missed your comment!
You wont be dissapointed with your TI! They are great fun.
Yeah I'm going to have to do a walkthrough video as alot of people seem very interested in it.. coming soon!
Good trip.
Excellent video, i am so SO leary of surf re entry. If you can car top a T.I. you are a LOT tougher than me!
I can now see the advantages of the tandem island over the adventure island for fishing.
Well done
Thanks Youl 😁
Mantap.
Well done👍👍👍👍
Curious about your 'Car' truck topping of the tandem.. anything special about the gear or technique you use. You make it look rather easy. it is the one thing holding me back on getting a hobie Island.
I have a pickup and have lugged 3 kayaks at one time or another.
thanks
Ron
Hey Ron, The only thing that's special about my roof rack is that the back bar is a roller. Which does help with sliding the beast up onto the roof.
@@hooked_on_adventure perfect idea..
Hi can you show upset to have gopro of the top of mask plz love Ur videos
Very fun, the experience must be unique. Bro can you send me the link of Kayak of Fish? I come from China
What is the golf club looking thing at the top of your mast? Edit: It's the camera, duh haha
Yeah it's the camera. It's just a gopro on a piece of aluminium with a small battery pack. Pretty happy with the footage that I'm getting from it!
you one crazy sob. I mean that in a good way
WOW
🥰
Great video and this kaiak with sail is amazing. Can you tell me where did you buy your hat? Really cool also. Thanks in advance, cheers
Great video as always. Thanks for the time effort you put into these ! Any tips on the surf launch and return (I hear return can be more hairraising), I’m yet to brave one out! But good for emergency/safety to know how to do it and gain the confidence. Any tips on how to interpret conditions when going out in the deep blue sea? Best wind directions/swell direction, intervals to know when conditions will be white caps/choppy vs glass? I’m still trying to learn more to venture outside of bays and sheltered waters - learnt about the EAC and glad you covered a bit of that in your video. I’ve been checking BoM for the arrows and direction/speed. Cheers mate
Hi Damian, thanks so much for your comment. Makes all the effort in filming and editing worthwhile when people enjoy it and get inspired to get out and experience it for themselves..
The main thing with surf launches is keeping up momentum to punch through the waves. Turning sideways can lead to disaster.
I think the trick is to use the paddle.. you can't get the mirage drive in and start peddling fast enough to keep up the pace needed. So getting a running push, jumping on and paddling is the go.
Then once you are deep enough, pop the mirage drive in and peddle!
Same with coming in. The rudder isn't strong enough to turn the kayak in the surf, so the paddle is the key. You can dig the paddle in and keep the nose straight towards the beach. Once again, keep moving and try not to get turned side on to the surf...
I don't need to really worry about currents where I live. It's more wind speed that I look at.
8-12k ideal, 12-15k hooting, 15-20 doable with reduced sail. 20-25k, ill stay on shore...
It all comes with experience though, so get out there and have a go!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Love the hat / face cover! Anyone know brand and model?
🌏👏👏 I'm Brasil!
Epic!!! Did you buy your hobie new or 2nd hand mate? I'd heard the newer ones had better hulls 🎣✌🤙
Cheers! Mine is second hand. The new model is from 2015 onwards. Mine is a 2016. Came with a trailer, beach wheels and was on almost new condition. I love it!
Great job! Hey how do you get such good audio on the water? External mic?
Nice video! What brand is that hat? I couldn’t find one on Amazon with a bungee string on the face covering.
Cheers Martin! I got the hat from my local BCF store. It's no fashion statement, but keeps the sun off really well!
Are you able to use the wheel cart to carry the tandem island over about 1/4 mile to the water?
What fish bag do you use? I have a hobie TI as well that I just picked up the other day, not sure if I want to invest in the $300 hobie xl bag or something else cheaper
Hey Bobby, are you in Australia? I found this great company online. Way cheaper than the Hobie bag and its massive!

very pretty. location?
Hi. What kind of fish you have captured?
In Australia, it's called a Spanish Mackerel. In the US, they call them King Mackerel. They are a fun fish to catch and are great eating!
Can this boat handle pretty big waves?
No not really... I try to avoid big surf.
