one thig is for sure - I see more and more of them on the water.
Hobie boats seem like nice rides. Folks seem pretty high above the water, it must be dry. Some are moving very fast. But keep in mind it's still a snail race...

It's a kayak.
I can see how having your hands ready for fishing by moving with your feet can help you place that jig right in someone's mouth. That must be nice.
BTW - I dunno, I'm just thinking aloud from my observations.
I paddle Malibu Extreme and love the damn thing. I wish I had more time to spend on it.
The best advice you can get is to try as many different models as you can. You will know when you like one.
