Hobie input... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I used my Outback at La Jolla yesterday. The Outback kicks ass in calm water, not so much in rough conditions. I didn't care for launching and landing in close interval surf or bobbing around on the wind chop. I used the same GPS unit I use on my Prowler 15 to track my speed, I can sprint faster on my Prowler but the Outback would be slightly better for sustained speed over longer distances. I know the Adventure and Revolution are faster and better suited for open water, I'd like to try them sometime. My line got hung up on the rudder twice but easy to clear by lifting the rudder.
