How-To Install | H-Bar Standing Support on Hobie Pro Angler Series Kayaks

The Pro Angler series of kayaks are extremely stable as-is, but if you're looking for a little assistance getting to and from a standing position, stepping down into the kayak from a raised surface or simply want some reassurance when standing and sight fishing, the H-Bar can be a critical accessory.
This video covers the installation procedure for Pro Angler 12 and Pro Angler 14 fishing kayaks. The H-Rail and molded brass inserts in the kayak make it a simple, no-drill installation.

I looked at the bar some years ago and thought that Hobie was particularly proud of it - the price seemed outrageously high, I still feel the same, and my sense of balance still sucks. Perhaps I will cough up some day.

I am of the same persuasion. I would only stand up if I intended to go swimming, as that would be the inevitable results. I laughed whe he mentioned stepping down into the Hobie at a dock - I have to hold on to the seat as I still don't have the bar.
