Nice video, I'd be scared shitless if that was me. I get afraid of being out in the open like that, I'm also afraid of sharks haha. Anyways, great fishing and kayaking.
@Aquatichunter1 Ohhh! sorry to hear that, hope you did not loose anything. I made the switch beginning of May. I am now getting use to peddling. I still have the Nordkapp sea kayak if I decided to paddle around. TL, Johnny Ceviche
@fishingkayakphil Hobie Mirage Drive takes less upper body effort to operate therefore less tiring once you become familiar with it. Peddling allows you to venture longer ranges compared to paddling. The only negative about it is there is no room to haul bigger fish such as Thresher Shark should one decides to keep one. With the Prowler I don't have that issue. Hobie should consider making a kayak that will have cargo room.
@marcuelcajonYes all my electronics are enclosed in a water proof box and yes, I've capsized many times before and less often now. In more than ten years of kayaking I've lost a gaff and a bonnet.
Nice vid, great to show to beginners. Shows why to have respect for the ocean, even when it is calm and unexpected...Love your vids, Johnny..2 thumbs up

Nice Johnny! I just flipped on 4th of July on a crowded beach. Very embarassing. When did you switch to the Hobie?
