Hobie Pro Angler Question

[j mo]

Once again, Rudder Up !!!! I usually remove the drive fins completely (you have a drive leash don't you?) and bungie them between my legs so they cant get forced apart during a "side slip" ride in. If the fins get sucked down while side slipping you will pretty much get catapulted off the yak. In larger waves the rudder easily gets overpowered and turned to one side or the other while you get ejected.

I've seen Jeremiah use his technique in action is very effective, esp in large surf. As for side slippin when landing I just peg one of my feet down on the drive while bungeed and this has worked well in preventing the drive from forcing open. Though im sure Ill dump now having written this.

Have to say though vs my malibu the revo outperforms in the surf hands down.

Side note: Waded out last Friday, waited for a lul in between sets, jumped in, peddled like crazy ony to realize I was peddeling backwards!!!! Im blaiming lack of sleep, I put my mirage drive in backwards!!!It was pure horse hair and no doubt comedy from the shore! Thankfully it ended ok.
