I have the oasis. wonder how the speed compares between the two. Are you in South Florida?

[@nicolatonolini2001]

Have you ever used it in bad sea conditions? I'm not talking about high waves, but wind and 70cm/1m waves? If yes…. how does it work? A thousand thanks

[@bknauf]

I have been out in 20 knt wins and very choppy conditions, but nowhere near 1M surf conditions. The peraon in front gets wet…I recommend riding in the back!

[@nicolatonolini2001]

@@bknauf Thank you!!!!! 🙂👍

Is there any issue putting it on a car rack? Being inflatable, is seems like it would catch air.

[@bknauf]

I put it on the rack on my Honda truck and there are no issues. If you are going to drive more than a few mins, I recommend tying the front down to the bumper.

[@TomKohorst]

Do you need torbo fins

[@bknauf]

I do not, but am thinking of upgrading.

[@bknauf]

You do not.

What does it weigh?

[@raymondscott906]

33kg hull seats drives. . 20kg just the hull

I'm curious how the kayak would perform for a single rider. If that's something you've tried, please let me know how that went for you.

[@bknauf]

I have taken it out solo and it is fine. You cruise through the water with ease. I've had a few people come up to me when I'm at the launches and ask about solo trips on it as well because they want the additional storage. I think the ultimate would be to use the Bixpy engine up front while you are doing a solo trip.

[@raymondscott906]

if its anything like the i14t it will perform great. a small child could Handle it. and the 14t is 17kg more than this one. its so light and and stable on the water. ive done a 12 hour run on it and it was so comfortable. im going to make some foam pads for the seats to give a bit of luxury to me and the wife. both mid 60s and over

What is Hobie smoking selling this for 4.5k

[@popholmes5825]

At that price they must be smoking some strong shit.
