Anyone ever use a paddle on a Revo 13 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I recently upgraded from a Malibu - X factor to a Hobie Revo and made the promise to myself that I would still paddle.

That being said last weekend I made a 2-3 mile paddle back. Gotta say that I feel that the Revo is actually faster and lighter to paddle. The only thing that I find a bit annoying is that its really hard to keep a straight heading with the rudder while you have your paddle in your hands. Maybe the sailing rudder would be a bit better.
