New 2011 Hobie Revolution E-mail
Tuesday, 03 May 2011 06:59
I have been using the Hobie Revolution since 2007 and it has always been a popular fishing kayak with myself and others. I pretty much wore that kayak out so it was time for a new one and I am even more impressed with the craft as they have fixed a few of the issues, and I am not sure they were issues more of areas that needed a bit of tweaking. the new up/down rudder system is a breeze that takes very little effort to make work. The new Mirage drive is amazing and now the drive never gets loose or moves. Even little things like the drive pedals always facing you instead of spinning are now addressed. I love it!
