It's funny how people overlook Hobies for a paddle yak, not saying Mick did, but I have found a lot of people think they only make peddle yaks.

hobie paddle yak's (quest )...although hobie are not known for paddle yak's...they have made some that are unrivaled for stability, however given a decent paddle upgrade and they move threw the water faster than you would expect, the hull shape is quite sleek and slender,cut through the chop like a knife...completely void of any hull slap.
i tested one out a fair while ago now when they were first released but at the time they were twice the price and coins were a bit stretched but now the quests are available at a fair price...i doubt i'll ever go to a different breed or type...oh btw you can surf a quest,has any one ever tried to surf a pa ???...just curious.

I dropped into Aquayak in Bentleigh this arvo (I work at a music shop a few doors up on Thursdays) and have to say I was pretty impressed by the look and quality of their yaks. Some of their package deals looked to be really good value too. If I was after a cheaper paddle yak, I would definitely take one for a test paddle.

Fair enough. I did have a look at them before the kingy came up this week but I love the look of the kingy.

I still think if you are buying a yak young fella then try them out first to make sure they suit your needs. If you have the money and can afford a hobie then they are definitely worth a look and Neil or Scott will gladly look after you.
cheers
