Some guys say they are kayak "purists" and Hobie's aren't true kayaks.

I'm a fisherman. Whatever gets me there. Its hard to beat peddling a Hobie, and experienced hands free kayak fishing. I personally don't care if I'm not considered a "true" kayaker. For the application, peddling beats paddling hands down. not to mention efficiency and range. The Mirage drive is an impressive engineering accomplishment that allows hands free propulsion. That's my $.02. But the Hobie vs. paddle argument will live on..
