So a buddy of mine is leaving the country for a few weeks and has lent me his Hobie Revo 13. I believe it's the 2012 model with upgraded turbo fins. Anyways I've been growing more curious about these mysterious peddle yaks over the summer. I know they're completely normal and not really mysterious at all anymore, but I've still been hesitant.
Yesterday I may or may not have played hooky and took it out for the first time. WOW! I'm very impressed and very grateful I have the chance to take it out a few more times before he gets back. Otherwise I may have been randomly coming home with one and in a lot of trouble with my wife. I could probably write up a blog post on how much I liked it. I dont have to tell you guys how great it is. Most of you have had some type of Hobie or peddle craft for some time now, but I do have some pictures to upload. I think it will impress in terms of Revo (Hobie) stability.
I didn't do much fishing from it at all, which I'll try more of in a few days and also try and build a rocket launcher to get the full effect. Too bad I couldn't slap on a fish finder. Guess I'll be beating the banks and get a true feel for hands free fishing.

The last pic is me finding that breaking point and forcing a turtle. I honestly did have to force it pretty far before I could even get it on one side and then go even farther to flip. I would have fell out before the boat tipped, but I had the paddle there to catch me.
I did get wet. I can only upload one video so I chose the successful take, but there is another pretty funny clip of me falling straight in.
