Never taken one for a test drive but I've seen them in action.

Paddled kayaks are just slow by comparison.

Really opened my eyes once I saw one charging across the ocean complete with a bow wake, into a strong head wind, while his friends in paddle kayaks struggled to make progress towards breaking albies.

I'd definitely test drive the PA in some decent swells if possible (may not be) Something about that boat gives me the willies thinking about some of the water I've been in. I have no idea how it would handle it (good or bad). Either way, you'll love the hobie. Your more than welcome to test out my Revo fishing in RI if you wish. I've got a second Yak that I could use while you fish out of the Revo. It would be some driving for you as I can only transport one Yak. But if your interested the option is out there.

I LOVE my revo...
