Hobie Defectors - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Count me as a defector. I agree that mirage drives perform much better in windy/choppy conditions. I don't go out in those conditions much anymore. I prefer a paddle kayak all-around, less expensive, less maintenance, less risk, less things to forget at home or lose at the launch.

That said, the mirage drive is an excellent mechanical design, I'm still impressed with it's performance.
