I've had two Hobie Mirage kayaks for two years. Can't live without them! Super fun...you can just cruise around, or do a total body workout. Plus, being sit on top, it's a very dry ride and quite stable. Completely unlike a pedal boat!!! The pedal drive system involves flippers, which make the kayak just about fly with little effort. Super easy to steer with a rudder control at your right hand. Tons of watertight storage. It might look expensive, but I use mine more than I've ever used a bike, and can guarantee this will never collect dust in your garage!
Hobie provides maintenance instructions (a little WD-40 after you ride to drive water out of the pedal mechanism). Not much to that, lol. Great thing is, any piece, down to the tiniest screw, can be purchased for repair. Every time they make a new batch of kayaks, they tinker with the design to make it better.
Oh, also, don't be afraid to go out in cool weather or light rain. I got some Dri-Fit clothes from Nike, and neoprene booties, and I can handle just about any weather with that (No. Ca.). People look at me like I'm crazy, but that's when the waterways here are free of people and full of wildlife, so that's my favorite time to kayak.
Did I make myself clear enough?
GET ONE!!! GET TWO, DRAG FRIENDS AND FAMILY ALONG!!! IT'S FUN!!! :)
