Then you could upgrade to an adventure island. Think about launching at shelter island and sailing out to the Coronado islands to fish! The amount of water the AI can cover is amazing.

The adventure is nice but im worried about stability at 27" wide. It would be cool to sail off to catalina in one of those and camp there. Ill test drive that too if theres a demo available.

The forum at the Hobie website has a kayak section. There's some comparison threads.

And, google Revolution vs outback and there's lots and lots of conversations. Same with Adventure, especially on Hobie site.

Test drive is key. OEX Sunset Beach is right ON Huntington Harbor. An easy put in from Andy's shop.
