Hobie Mirage Island kayak video, March 2007

I stopped by the Sailboat Shop in Austin, Texas, and right inside the front door was this Hobie Mirage Island kayak, part of their Aventure series. Vic showed it to me, and I liked it. I've sailed a Mirage before, and it was fun, but this one looks like a big improvement to me. LOT'S more storage, and with the added stability of the amas it's no problem to stand up and reach anything on board. Vic and I are looking forward to taking it for a sail soon. The video is Vic showing the various features of the kayak, he's great at explaining how things work.
