Hobie Revo - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have an Outback, and bought a Revo (for the woman

) ...

We took the Revo out today for the first time. After loosing a fin as soon as I launched, I was happy we were at Dana Landing so the guys at Fastlane saved the day with a quick replacement job.

First impressions were that it was noticeably faster, especially from a stop. It cuts through the water very clean.

It's definitely less stable than the Outback. I could see it being a lot easier to tip if you're not paying attention, although that's speaking relative to the Outback because I'm not sure how you could tip one of those very easily.

I ended up spending the day in it because she felt a lot more comfy in the Outback. It was kind of cool being able to hang my feet over each side, something I can't do in the OB.

I could have easily spent the day in either. They are 2 different animals though.

I can tell I'm going to have days where I have a hard time deciding which one to take out.
