Hobie Adventure Island (video added)
The AI is FUN... I visited the Sewer and Hurricane Gulch for the first splash.. It was a beautiful day but Hurricane gulch didn't live up to it's name...there was a little wind as I launched and it lasted untill I got outside Angels Gate then it died. Thank Hobie for the Mirage Drive...when the wind dies you just start peddaling... This Yak is so stable and has sooo much room...It was such a nice day I kicked back and laid down on the trampoline and had a beer and did a little fishing...it seems like fighting and landing a fish off the trampolines would be no-problem at all! Somebody asked about the sail or lines getting in the way of your head...Plenty of clearance for my noggin. This boat is so much fun I almost forgot a brought along a couple of fishing poles. I felt the need for speed...even with the light winds I was able to get it up to about 6 MPH easily with no pedals. Here's a short video of the afternoon...

Great write up and good captures of the scene. Feels like were sailing and paddling with you thru the computer screen.

Hey Raskal
Check out the video I added and you'll see how easy it is to sail... "It's a Breeze"

Great timing!
Me and dad just put money down on two tandems this week. Picking ours up Thursday. I'll be sailing on the dune and dad picked out the red. Can't wait to get them all decked out for fishing. I'll have two sports for sale soon but I'm keeping the outback for now.

Pino
Pino...you should have stuck it out just a litttle longer.
The wind died and it was flat calm for a while. Never did really find bait...there were some bait marks on the finder in the middle of the entrance to the harbor but there was just too much traffic to get out the sabiki and they didn't want the small Anchovy jig that was already tied on. Thanks for the help in the morning. jbara...Congrats on the new Fun rides. Where will you be launching them the most? Contact me if you need advise on rigging them.
