  • Innovative hands-free propulsion technology

    Watch out Hobie, Native, and other kayak companies with pedal-drive systems. A Vietnamese sub-population has found an alternate way to propel their small vessels using their feet in an unexpected way.

    It’s quite impressive to watch, and I guarantee you’d get asked lots of questions.

      Don't laugh.

      That may have been on the drawing boards of Hobie and Native before they settled on their final designs.

      But I'm glad they crossed that one off of their lists.

          I'm not that "fleet" of foot!

          My knees hurt just watching this!

            On a more serious note, I think hip flexor tightness is something that is extremely pervasive in the American society of constant sitting while at work or at home. I bet these boaters have super limber hip flexors and they're probably amazingly strong also.
