If the wind blows I no longer have to have rod in one hand and paddle in the other to keep myself aligned to where I want to be fishing. Not to mention the speed, I can cover nearly twice as much water in the same amount of time than I could using a paddle. I would give alot of consideration to any of the Hobies. I'm very glad I made the switch!! stability, speed, and most of all the hands free part of it....
Thank you for you input, those are some of the reason that first attracted me to the Hobie. This is turning out to be a harder decision than I thought it was going to be.
