Brilliant design- ive pedalled it, paddeled it and sailed it both on inland waters and the sea off the west wales coast. Not the best sailing device as it has a small rudder but still a lot of fun. Very stable when being peddled even in a choppy sea. Used mine for fishing too and loved it. Very expensive in the UK, you can buy a sit on top from another maker for a third of the price but only hobie offer the mirage drive (peddle) which offers a true hands free kayak operation. Apart from the high price this kayak is superb.
