Hellos fellas....bought a new PA in april of this year and absolutely love it! I fish in deep south texas where the winds never let up....port mansfield aka speckled trout territory...south padre island aka red fish/snook area... an average fishing forecast consist of 8mph at sunrise by noon 15mph and after 3pm white caps! After buying the PA...no problems at all!!!! My fiance will take it out with ease while ill take my revo out. In other words Hobies in my area make fishing so much easier and separate the true fisherman from the weekend fisherman...
