Purchased a Hobie Outback after my first two fishing kayaks, both being budget kayaks. The first was a paddle and I knew not long after I wanted to get a pedal drive. Found a cheap one and got what I paid for. It did the job but didn't have nearly the features as some of the higher end kayaks. After lots of videos and seeing the Outback up close last year, I knew that would be my next kayak. Ended up ordering in Dec. and picked up in the spring. This thing is the ultimate versatile fishing kayak, and couldn't be happier. Its fast, light, extremely stable, and maneuvers fantastically. One of my favorite features is the through-hull wire system with the retractable transducer. Hi-Tempo had great customer service when I picked up my Hobie. Thank-You everyone at Hi-Tempo.

When I decided I wanted a pedal drive kayak tried out all different manufacturers offerings. It came down to an Outback or a Pro Angler. When I considered my needs to be able to use it from smaller rivers where I may need to make some portages to troll for Salmon on the Great Lakes. The Outback was the clear winner for me. Now I own 2 Outbacks one for myself and one for anyone that wishes to go fishing with me or try one out. Hi Tempo's employees are the greatest there is. They remember you even if you only stopped in once. Every time I stop in they greet me by name and are extremely friendly and know their stuff. I highly recommend them for your next Hobie purchase.

This is my third kayak and should have been my first. I am 65 and cartop my kayak. The Pro Angler is too big for cartopping. The OUTBACK is perfect. Very stable in any water, has lots of room for whatever I want to bring, and wind does not effect me when in the It back. I pedal and go anywhere I want to in any amount of wind. I have been out with 3ft chop and 30+ Mon winds fishing away happy as can be. The OUTBACK is the most popular fishing kayak for a reason, it is the BEST! I cannot rate this kayak high enough. I have tried almost all the various brands but Hobie OUTBACK is the best and the service and support from Hi-Tempo just makes it even better.
