to the spot if you didn't hit the MOB button.

Just put the drive in backwards, it works quite well.

2X FIRST trick you learn, takes 10 seconds. Fishing the rocks in Baja, try staying 100 feet out with your drive in backwards. MUCH easier to cast to rocks AND work your jig back to you. HOOK UP, you have him coming toward you not the rocks. DRAW BACK to that is it is much harder to stay in a straight line as the rudder will quickly pull you off track. BUT it has saved lot's of Cabrilla and Tails!!!!! Try it you might like it.

"I was talking to a certain non-hobie user

today, and his concern was that nobody would openly criticize hobie kayaks in public"
Let me take a stab...Greg?

"I personally survived (dont know how) a 5' wave breaking right on my face with my PA...didnt even flip...jim didnt make it though...."
Ummm no need to guess who on this one...ME in my 13' Revolution...my only regret is I didn't have the GoPro turned on. THAT would've been a fun one to watch...

"Landings can be exciting too, im sure all of you have seen frank wiredantzs video of me eating it in the surf possibly the greatest video of all time."
DEFINITELY a great video...Please repost so others can "learn" (and laugh) at this again...PLEASE (someone's got it)!
