Hi I am new here. Just got my Hobie pro angler today. I hope I can get some pointers from the more experienced Hobie owners. One thing I did noticed when j unload it from truck heavy empty.
is there any specific technique you guys use to man handle this thing?

Nice purchase, you won't be dissapointed!!

best way to man handle is have the hobie cart, makes moving it around the easiest.

Great choice! I build a storage cart that I wheel to my truck, saves the back man!

Cart wheels are great if you have to do a little travel from your truck to the launch site.

Just make sure you eat your Wheaties before trying to move the PA!

It's going to be your new best friend. You'll never lift the whole kayak off the ground at one time, so it's not a weight issue. There's a ton of mods to customize it any way you want. Hobie makes a great product, and that PA is a fishing machine. Good luck with your new toy!!! Welcome to the forum.
