Finally took one out yesterday, I like it. It is like a Mini PA 12 Hybrid. Super dry, super comfy and only 68 pounds........lighter than a Revo 13. Smart base price with some cool upgrade-able rigging you can do with it.

I wish there was a low position for the seat, I'd feel better going in and out of surf if there was. I took it out stock with the ST fins and it moved along about like an Outback, bow is a little more piercing so a little quieter than the Outback. Turbo fins would be a good option to gain some cruising speed with a slower cadence.

I'm pretty sure I've decided when its time to update my Ride 135, I'm getting a Hobie.
Not sure that time will ever come, but when it does........ |

My son agreed about the turbo fins. We were side by side, me on my 2016 PA14 and him on the Compass. I was at a casual pace and he was spinning out. Other than that he loved it.
