I guess it's a lifestyle choice. Once you go Hobie you never go back.

I keeed, I keeed.

I know of a few people who have found religion and given up the Hobie. Not many, but a few.

I'd be the first to admit that Hobies provide some advantages for fishing. I would even be willing to get one if I had a career-ending shoulder injury. Maybe I'm just a purist, but I love paddling. I don't think I'd give that up unless I had to.

Doug -

For you vets I can understand the 'purist' aspect, and for some that may not be as great a factor as just fishing and making ground. I guess what it really comes down to is that, preference of upper or lower body workout, and factoring in any injuries one may have.

I have to say that the acceptance of Hobie's on this board has improved over the last 2 years that I have owned one.

I am impressed with the thoughtfull discussion that this thread has produced so far. Great opinions.


Thank you all for the respectfulness of each other.
