Hello, Hobie enthusiasts! You've got some great conversation on the Passport. I am new here, I just ordered my first Hobie yesterday, The Passport! Yes, the Hobie quality at this price point is why I bought it. I shipped it to the nearest REI store (90 miles) to save the over $200 shipping cost, and hope to pick it up soon (2 weeks they said). I am really looking forward to the size, the portability, and the pedal drive. I have too many hobbies to be an avid fisherman, but I want to get out in the water in those small streams, lakes, and rivers and the shores and bays of the bigger ones. Just to visit, and cast a line out once in a while as well. I hope my doodle Goldie can fit on it somewhere too. The pedal drive is exciting to me since I do not have a left hand, my arm ends at the wrist, my paw I call it, working the paddle even with mods would be not as convenient as the pedal drive for me. So I'm pumped to finally get into the sport and the little, but sweet kayak. A couple of quick noob questions. 1) Does anyone know of a strap, loop, handle or something that could be added to the paddle to accommodate my paw? 2) Besides taking it out right asap, what if anything should I do, remember to bring, or prepare myself for with this? 3) I'm looking at a putting a small Lowrance on it eventually, there is a video on a rudder mount transducer for this, recommendations on this or handheld fish finders? 4)Thanks, any other tips tricks, mods, links etc. I may like for this? Thanks for reading folks, and thanks for any answers/suggestions. I looking forward to Hobie yaking with you all soon enough, Slainte!
