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

2015 Outback all the way ... I have never surf launched or landed on it so I really cannot say much on this topic. If weight and money is not a concern then go with the PA. I am sure in a few years I will go this route.

Go demo some Hobie's in Mission Bay. You will probably lean toward the PA14 with your size. Ton's of storage room, stable, you can piss standing up, and weight is not much more than the 12.
If cost is not a concern, go with the Glide Technology, or just upgrade a V2 drive.

You might want to look at the Revolution 16.
This thing is super fast and great for LJ.

If you join us for Asuncion/Abreojos this year you will beach launch there. Had no problems with my outback, and Sven seemed ok with his PA 12.

I owned both an outback and a PA for awhile. Used both, traded the outback for another PA. The outback was a lot more cramped for space than a PA. No room for poles, gear or fish and felt confined. I am 6'2 and weigh roughly 225.
