Meet Vibe Makana 100 FULL DETAILED Walkthrough!

[@Bluemage600]

I just ordered mine after having watched this video. Thank you Aliex! My first kayak! I think I did good.

[@AliexFolgueira]

yes you did! Hopefully you get it soon!

[@sly4139]

They definitely nailed the little details with that one. Lots of handles, built in storage and a drain plug actually located where you can easily drain all the water. I’m starting to shop for my next kayak upgrade from a Pelican sentinel and think this has jumped to the top of the list.

[@stevesafety6743]

Nice walkthrough. Great to have pedal kayaks in this price point. Would love to see a comparison of 10 foot pedal kayaks in this price point. Moken 10 PDL, Vibe Makana, Lightning Kick 106.

[@stevenvalenti3722]

That's a great looking fishing kayak. I really like it and if I was looking to buy a fishing kayak. I believe this could very well be it. Thanks for the review.🙂👍

[@chimrichalds1422]

Thank you for the review. I own 3 vibes and thinking about changing them out, glad to see vibe is still innovating since i researched last.

[@AliexFolgueira]

Makana is nice

[@Sabrina_D.]

Yeeeesss!!! You have to make a video using 3 Bixbys. 😂 Epic!

[@AliexFolgueira]

and it will look clean!

[@downsouthangler5224]

I like that handle. It’s the little things that make a difference.

[@AliexFolgueira]

Yup

[@Unplugged704]

How does this 10’ handle on those windy days?

[@ch33kz]

Triple bixby, that would be awesome. You gotta do that video 🤞

[@AliexFolgueira]

Ohh yeah

[@TylerShupe]

Nice upgrade from the cheap pelicans i was using. They served their purpose but the stability on those is sketchy

[@MNCasaPro]

Triple Bixpies? Oh yes, please make that happen!

[@kevbo887]

Do you know what those ropes coming out of the xdrive port are for? Mine got delivered yesterday and I can’t seem to find any information on it. Thanks!

[@markjoiner8146]

If your able to can you review the santa cruz raptor 2

[@ThePhrozenOne]

I saw in another video they had the black pack turned with the rod holders on the side, then the rudder can be stored

[@AliexFolgueira]

yup, there are many ways to configure the blackpak they have have a smaller one, you can remove the rodholders too

[@ticm1]

Vibe needs to bring manufacturing back to the U.S.A. Hard to support Vibe doing business with China.

[@GageDrums]

Then you'll say it's hard to support vibe when their prices are similar to the more name brand kayaks.. Vibe sells kayaks for the prices they are able to sell them because they're made in China

[@sitixp6262]

@@ticm1 and then drive the prices up by an extra 2k?

[@jasonwarmsley5739]

Ain’t the owner Asian?…so it would make sense

[@jasonwarmsley5739]

Nothing wrong with keeping it inhouse

[@brosnpoles9236]

Great walkthrough, Im a big fan. Could you do a walkthrough of the feel free moken 10 PDL.

[@seandozois]

To small for adventures. Limited by options without crowding yourself. Vibe Shearwater 125 or Bonafide RVR 117 or PWR 127

[@bobberger1758]

If you could just have one: OT PDL 106, Native Slayer Max 10, Makana 100, Riot 10, or Feel Free 10? I fish mostly larger lakes and ponds, some slow rivers, and like the 10s for portability.

[@motavader]

Awesome video bro. I would love to see this compared to the Hobie Mirage Passport 10.R seems like they’re around the same size and price even very similar capabilities.

[@ricardomedina4082]

what do you think about hoodoo kayaks??

[@toolsnthings5539]

"teamfun" Hi Aliex what would you recommend for off shore fishing that is budget friendly for heavy set guys?

[@albertorosales2907]

Nice kayak i buy one i need help Where you live my first pedal kayak

[@mikestrong3910]

Hi Alex thanks for the review. I’m considering this as my first pedal drive. I’m 6’3” 280lbs do you think this would work?

[@AliexFolgueira]

Works yes, is it the best for you? I would shoot for something bigger like a 12 footer, shearwater for example, I mean you be OK in the makana but maybe you want the space

[@mcchickenmcflurry3636]

does it have reverse pedaling

[@AliexFolgueira]

If you add the Hobie 180 drive, yes

[@Miyatohibachidallas]

How you go backwards

[@tylercraig6627]

Hey I had a really big question I was hoping you could help me with! I want this kayak really bad but worried I’d be to short to comfortably use the pedals so is there a way to adjust them closer to you at all or is that the only position for the x drive

[@AliexFolgueira]

the x drive has 5 different positions to set the drive, even a 5 footer should be able to use it

[@amar-6154]

Does the hobie 180 drive fit in there? I have the Shearwater with the drive. I was wondering if I could just pop that in the Makana.

[@AliexFolgueira]

you be the judge :) watch kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHuxiHqVl6pnfrc

[@alladventurecapitol]

Looks like a good deal for the yak. Any good landing gear options for that yak?

[@AliexFolgueira]

umm it is so light dont see the need for landing gears, simple cart would do

[@patrickriddlem9130]

Does the drive only allow pedalling forward - no reverse?

[@AliexFolgueira]

Only forward but you can flip the drive in a second and go in reverse

[@sergiolopez5652]

10ft what wide is it

[@ulydoingthings]

Great walk through video! I have a question. did you actually install the pod? I got one for my Makana and it seems like you have to remove the front plate. It doesn't just drop in. Maybe I was doing it wrong. What do you think?

[@AliexFolgueira]

I fit! No need to remove the metal plate, put it under first, then lay it flat

[@Shaftya_McNasty]

Is this boat comparable to the big fish 103 in terms of quality? Having trouble deciding which one to get.

[@AliexFolgueira]

about the same, these two brands make good products but you won't get high premium stuff

[@richardcarmona261]

Is the hobie 180 drive compatible with this? Def want the ability to go in reverse

[@AliexFolgueira]

check it out kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHuxiHqVl6pnfrc

[@ALSAIBANI]

can i put motor on it

[@1212CRMD]

Can VIBE bring a manufacturer facility in BRAZIL? ❤

[@tonybishop51]

Would it be worth buying the Hobie GT for it.( I might be wrong. I mean a non 180)

[@AliexFolgueira]

I wouldn't

[@tonybishop51]

@@AliexFolgueira thank you!!!

[@kennetholavarria8044]

Hey Alex I think the best Kyack in the market is hobbie out back does nothing better you have fin. drive and you could put a motor no problem and it has a small hatch in the front no water gets in - every Kyack in the market trying to compete with the out back but they can’t yes it’s expensive but you get what you pay for

[@AliexFolgueira]

Outback may be the best for people under 220 # 6 ft for sure

[@matthewdean8070]

Does it come with the pedal drive ? If so, it's a great deal, and this might be my next Kayak lol

[@AliexFolgueira]

drive included

[@billyjward]

Whenever you get one of these and decide to sell it, I’m your guy.

[@AliexFolgueira]

I don't have one yet

[@Nick-mc2hy]

Another great video man!! Did the mirage drive fit it?

[@AliexFolgueira]

ohh yeah check it out kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWmsgmidpZZ7j8U

[@matthewrodriguez3128]

I am definitely not an espert!😂

[@NickyKDChaleunphone]

That Kayak is a Mini Shearwater 12.5

[@Outdoorswithlogdog]

Go to 10:40, it clearly says Makana 100 on the side of the boat.

[@lendog725]

I bought one

[@AliexFolgueira]

Sweet how do you like it so far?

[@ralphie0224]

Booooooon!

[@workeatplay2386]

Triple bixpy!!!!!!!

[@AliexFolgueira]

last video has dual PAC motor and bixpy! but triple bixpy coming

[@652barry]

Hatch is too far forward

[@AliexFolgueira]

It is for storage

[@tasaman]

Nice little boat. Too small for my fat butt.
