Im one of the guys that at first refused to go with hobie...and thought I would paddle forever...my beloved stealth 14 developed a crack in it and I had an opportunity to jump into a pro angler...and I'm glad I did. No it's not all advantage, but just like I had been told the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Sure there are some days when I wish I had my ol' paddle kayak back! I just may buy another paddle yak just for those "special days".
