This may sound foolish but being new to all this I have to ask. I'm learning aliitle everyday and alot from this site. When your moving in the water approaching your favorite fishing spot. Using the mirage drive, how do you stop the kayak from drifting past your favorite spot?

Stop pedaling a few feet from where you want to be and pray you guessed right :lol:

Actually, stopping and/or backing up are the only other uses for the supplied paddle other than paddling to and from shore.

You actually can pull out the drive and put it in backward to go backward but, too much work in most cases.

Thanks, I actually thought that would be the answer. The paddles. Just didn't know if I was missing something.

After afew beers you might start peddling backwards even if you don't have peddles.
