While playing on the lake, i went up against a 21ft. racer. Even with my st turbo fins, there was "no way" i could keep up. I did feel better though when he looked backed and did a double take.

How long was the race? Ask him to go for an hour and see where the two of you come out. |

You aren't likely to defeat a sculling boat, nor a racing kayak if the user is in good competition trim. But, if the user is in the same condition as you are, the Mirage Drive will do well over a longer course. |

You can beat just about any paddler. Just include in the race rules that you have to be drinking a beer while racing.

No Problem. Old people have the edge. Two cans, not even a challange. One of them backpack things. Fake a injury.
