I didn't Demo a Hobie BUT it's partially because of Hobie, Malibu, Ocean Kayak, and the other well known kayak companies that I am doing this. I know that if there is an issue with any of those other kayaks the top companies will stand behind their product, a buddy that was recently let go from the Moken Team bought a NEW boat and Moken did not offer to fix it, they terminated him from the Pro Staff team.

I like the idea of being a Promotional Rep/Sales rep for a company, but not if I'm going to be asked to push something that is a HUGE safety issue. Anyone who has paddled a Kayak knows water should not be in the hull, and when you land a kayak and there's GALLONS of water inside, that's not good. I've owned 7 total kayaks and 2 of the 7 were bone dry when I landed and those were both Prowler kayaks that did not have any hatches installed other than the factory installed bow hatch. I will be posting a Youtube video for those who have bought a Moken to check their hatch and have it fixed or fix it themselves.

Yes, I was testing the waters to see if anyone is interested in it. I had not left the Moken Team until about an hour ago. Let's just say the teammate was let go last week for speaking honestly about the kayak and the leak issue. He was totally setup, and then let go the next day.

Here's the video I put up about the hatch that FF claims is the driest on the market.

When my former teammate pointed this out in a PM he was terminated for it.

We all know that SOT kayaks leak at times, but I've seen Malibu, Hobie, OK and WS step and offer to fix these issues and instead of fixing my buddies leak, they terminated him from the team for saying something about it. It wasn't like the guy put it out on a website or offered it up, he was PMed by the team captain, or someone very close to him, and asked his honest opinion. I thought Private Messages were supposed to handled that way. Oh well, I'm moving on. I just want to be sure no one gets hurt on their kayak, or screwed by the company they buy it from.

Looks like a simple fix...gasket or goop. I cant bieve it went this far. I thought thats part of being sponsored, quality control. Oh wells just wait until they get hit with a multimillion dollar lawsuit. Just stupid

If Malibu can get away with leaking, why not Moken
