This kayak is for the angler who has been paddling a budget sit on top and is tired of putting the rod down every time the wind moves the boat. If you fish lakes, ponds, slow rivers, or calm inshore water and you want hands free fishing, this is one of the most affordable ways to get real pedal power. It also fits weekend warriors who fish two or three times a month and want a Hobie without financing one.
