Anyone "pedal" a Hobie Kayak?
I just went to paddlesport 08 with a friend and I saw a series of Hobie kayaks that have some sort of pedal device sort of like a 'bent set-up. Anyone using this to get their cycling in on the water? I though tit looked kind of cool.

That sounds like a lot of fun. I bet you could go really fast pedaling and paddling simultaneously. I'll have to add this to my list of things to buy (or build) after college.

Once long ago, I went canoeing, and ever since, have wondered why they didn't make an arrangement like that for canoes. It would let you go longer, faster, sit lower, etc, if done right.
On a lot of canoe and kayak trips, people are just floating with the current, and it wouldn't be as much of an issue then. But I went canoeing on a lake.
They did have the little pedal boats, but those are woefully inefficient and not something you'd want to use to go anywhere.

If you like bicycles you will probably like hobie mirage drive kayaks.
Here is a link to the hobie forums on kayak fishing stuff website.
