Everyone says you can fish hands free with the hobies--- not true. You are constantly correcting for a wandering yak. If anything paddling my eddyline is now more hands free than my PA was.Go figure. And once the eddy is up to speed it will coast forever, something a PA just doesn't want to do. The eddyline is a smooth finish like a boat and I think that helps it glide better, not to mention it's a rigid hull so it's fast like a fiberglass surfboard VS a soft surfboard. Something Eddyline calls carbonlite, it's a mixture of carbon fiber for strength and ABS for durability. I know you can buy a paddle yak for way less but they are not even similar to Eddyline products.
