New Hobie AI

Post by Kieran »

So last Friday I picked up my new kayak, a 2015 Adventure Island.
I've only taken it out twice so far, but I bloody love it, especially when the wind kicked up like it did today :yahoo:
I haven't started fitting it our yet, I have some ram mounts on order, but managed to land my first fish on it today, a tiny Pike (not the best start)
For anyone else who has an AI, how have you decked yours out?

We will have to catch up for a fish. Hopefully I'll make it down to the LL session.

Very nice indeed Kieran, still tossing up whether to stick with my current one and all the upgrades/mods done or make the jump to a new one.

Josh really set that yak up well, I've also had a look at his latest in store, some good ideas there too.

Thanks Eoin, I've been loving sailing around so far, I'll have to go for a fish over your way some time soon.

That's the plan, get out a lot further and go after a few bigger species.

Having not tried the older model I can't compare, but the new model's bet feature would have to be the seat, in my old yak 4 hours would have been really uncomfortable, in this its not even an issue.
