Nice video I've been thinking about getting a sit-on kayak having hired one on several occasions. I've also tried paddleboarding, which was fun too, so I am now in two minds .. the kayak (hard to transport, but always stay dry) or the paddleboard (easy to transport, but possibility of falling in much higher) .. then somebodty suggested 'inflatable kayak' .. will decide in 2022. Good luck with nour TH-cam channel Regards from Whitley Bay
Recommend getting a good PFD instead of a life jacket, which are ok but once inflated a pain get in the way of remounting your kayak, hard to swim effectively and will need rearming, PFD like a palm Karakora has a hydration pouch in the back I keep flares in or a drink, hand warmer pockets and zip up cargo pockets with clips inside for a radio ect and cut to be very comfortable seated and if fitted properly (very important) easy to swim ect
I have a sail kit for my Hobie Mirage Sport. OK, but the 'no go' area is so wide tacking takes quite a while. Yo u can't use a sail kit on the Mirage i11S
Hi Kori, I didn't know there's a new one coming out. I'll look out with interest! Getting wet obviously depends on the sea conditions, but in the normal scheme of things no, I've never got very wet. The kayak is very stable and rides the waves well.
Yes, perfect, but always consider the weather, tides and sea conditions. Given we are heading into autumn I would wait until spring 2021 to go fishing personally.

Agree. Have a belt type pfd now. More comfortable.
Get a sail kit, I have one for my Hobie Revolution 13 fantastic fun

Are you wearing safety glasses?
I like that kayak, however prefer the green color instead, can you stand up easily?
Yellow better in case of emergency. Very easy to stand up. The platform is super stable.
Frank Tompson thank you, last question how it holds against windy conditions?
I'm looking at buying the new one that's coming out in March 2021. I was wondering do you get really wet on this

So what do you think og i11s?
Great, I love it. Stable, transportable, easy to inflate, comfortable. What's not to like!?
Frank Tompson thanks! Im wondering if it’s good enough for fishing on Belfast coast.
Yes, perfect, but always consider the weather, tides and sea conditions. Given we are heading into autumn I would wait until spring 2021 to go fishing personally.
