How does the vibe shearwater handle offshore? I am stuck between the Searwater 125 and a Lightning Strike

Don't get either one of those. Get a hobie with the pedal drives. That way if you don't like it, you can try and resell for more than you paid for it like some other guys on this website.

Thanks for putting up a report. Looks like your new kayak is fully maxed out with gear. Always good to have an alternative mirage drive competition for Hobie. I have heard nothing but good things about the people behind Vibe Kayaks. I won a Vibe cooler a while back, and it is of equivalent quality to my Yeti. I was considering a sponsorship by the local Vibe dealer, but it did not happen -- The initial deliveries of this kayak had many bugs to sort out. Hopefully, yours is serving you well. Congratulations on the new rig.
