Just wonder if any of you use a keel guard on your passport.
I have had kayaks in the past but never used any guard, apparently is a tendency
Now and wonder if I should keep my keel from the elements.

Any resources?

Berleypro make a 'Bumper bro' keel guard for the Lynx, and we sell a lot of them to Lynx users down here in Aus. We often find ourselves telling customers that Bumper Bros are unnecessary on the rotomolded hulls, but we think it makes a whole lot of sense for the Lynx.

KeelEazy tape is popular on the Lynx to. Here's what the Lynx looks like with both installed.

Sorry to ask something off topic, but between a hobie sport 10.5 and the passport 10.5 what would be suitable to do light offshore fishing or crabbing , likely less than a mile from shore. If conditions were to get bad and choppy would the sport or the passport be safer to return into the harbor with? I have seen people take their sports offshore but not many have done so with the passport.

I would take a Passport over a Sport, mainly because it's going to be a little faster and more stable than a Sport in typical offshore conditions. Neither would be my first choice though. I'd be looking closer at a Passport 12 or Compass if I were you
