Can you guys give some insight into this? I'm really thinking of getting one in the next few months.

Thanks!

I'm new at this, but I went out last week on a two to three foot day. I didn't use my drive, just my paddle. I watch the surf for a few sets an tried to go when it was in between sets. I kept the bow of the boat perpendicular to the surf. I walked out to water just above the knees and jumped on the seat and paddled as fast as I could.

I talked to a couple Hobie guys at the ramp. They said I should use the drive next time.

Good luck
