Goddamn.... and I have to work 2pm - 10pm!

Crime waits for no man.....

How did you go shortIE? I'm keen for a paddle partner over the next week so sing out when you go next.

[shortie]

All i can say is Wow. Got 2 small bass but was more of a trip to test out the Hobie.

Stable as.

Very fast.

Quiet.

The only time i felt unstable was getting out of it.

Why havnt i done this sooner.

Richard.

Good to hear that you liked your yak, and good work on the bass. My first yak capture was a pufferfish:P

[shortie]

The only thing im looking for now a a higher backed seat. i can put up with the current seat but a bit higher back would be more comfy.

Also have to refine getting it onto and off of the roof racks.

Like I say Shortie, get a paddle partner, (hi there) they are not only good for braggin rights but they help with loading & unloading, taking photos, share fuel and are good for safety reasons.

Well, the safety bit - only if they like you and you let them catch more fish, otherwise they could let you drown.:S

That's the Elite. The Airwave is pretty similar except the bum cushion is airfilled to your liking.

The sole Aussie distributor for "Surf to Summit" gear is here, http://www.extremewatersports.com.au/index.html

I agree with Terry, they are very comfortable indeed. I have the Airwave and the GTS Pro. There is a new one just arrived from America last week, it's a cross between the GTS Pro and the Elite, can't remember the name.

Wow. They certainly look comfortable.

Looking at the GTS elite 18"

$300 for a kayak seat. Oh well you cant be to confortable.

Might be cheaper bringing it in myself from Oseas

Im guessing a few more clip points need to be added to the Yak to anchor it in.

Na, I think Als went in without any more clips

[Malcolm]

This may be a cheaper alternative to the seat issue.
