I just found out that Glenmore Sailboats(Calgary and Edmonton Hobie dealer) is going to be hosting a demo day at Chestermere Landing on May 27th to allow people to try the hobie kayaks out. They plan on having a Pro Angler, Outback, Revolution 11, Sport, Tandem Island and Eclipse boards for people to try out. I think there might be some other sailboats there too but don't know the details on that stuff.
This should be a fun time and it is a great way to help a guy decide which model best suits there needs. I have only used an Outback so far and bought it because it seemed to be the best all around choice but I look forward to trying out the other models to see how they compare.
I have been trying to talk them into doing a similar demo day up here in the Edmonton area as well so if anyone else would be interested in that shoot me a message and if we can get enough people lined up maybe we can get one organized up here too.
For those that don't know anything about the Hobie Kayaks they were the first pedal drive kayak which is great for fishing because your hands are always free for fishing. Imo they are the best man powered fishing boat you can buy and you can see the details for the different models on their website.
