After speaking to reps at FHS they said it would be arriving March/Spring 2017. Well its just about Summer and Im looking at the Hobie Outback with Vantage seat, but if the prices are the same I want to check out the Cooda. I know all you Hobie fans will scream Mirage drive or nothing and I get that and probably agree seeing I test drove pedal drives at OEX demo day and the Hobie felt better and I really loved the rudder as it easly out turned all other yaks I tried. What I don't like about the Outback is lack of stock rod holders. I hate the idea of having to drill/install stuff when your paying upwards of $3K for a yak. The Cooda seems to have all that BUT It looks like its lacking a true rudder and I cant find more info about it.
