I have been researching inflatable SUP boards for the last two days and this is the single most useful piece of media I have seen in that time! The 11 seemed the obvious winner before watching this, but you have provided insights that have convinced me on the 9, improving my experience AND saving me a bit of money! Thank you!

Great video and nice in-depth comparison! Do you think either of them could carry occasionally carry a light passenger?

Same here, after some deep research this is the best and most detailed comparison between the iTrek 9 & 11 I could find. I also really appreciate a review specifically from a non-anglers-perspective aka where transportability and every bit of saving weight is key and speaks for the iTrek 9. The only thing I wasn't able to find online so far is someone trying to cary the iTrek 9 in a backpack while riding an ultralight folding bike (like a Brompton) for short distances and then packing it folded up behind the seat. Maybe we are still a year or two away from this capability, but it would be my ultimate bike-pedal-sup portability dream🙂

Fantastic review!!

Sold!

Coming from a sea kayaking and sailing background, the Hobie 11 waterline would make it faster. Also the sponsons or outer bladders I suspect will give it more stability. We put two of us on the Hobie 11 totallying 400#. It's not easily packable as mentioned, but if kept inflated it's easy to throw on roof or even double cartop or truck bed it. The fins or rudder do not like weeds. Made a sail out of two large broomsticks like a baidarka sail and put a RTIC dry pouch on front of seat for phone, sunscreen and small binos. The drink holder is the cat's meow...morning Joe or evening G&T. Next summa will fly a kite from it.

Absolutely stellar review here! Exactly what I needed to know. Thank you so much. I appreciated the great time you and your daughter had as well.

Hi Adriel, I really love your video. I have watched it at least a dozen times. Great footage, very clear explanations and an overall entertaining video. Just one additional question because I can't decide between the 9 and the 11. Which boat is more tilt stable? The wide single chamber of the 9 could theoretically be more stable, but the side chambers of the 11 could also provide more stability. Thanks for your work! Best greets from germany

I rent out Hobies, both solid hull and inflatable, and these inflatable hulls have a 3-4 year shelf life, here in Florida the salt watr eats everything, and once the adhesive wears out, they pop.

It'd be cool to see a comparable video between the iTrex 11 and the Lynx 11.

Great video! Did you rent the TI or buy it? It’s pretty big, so I have concerns regarding transportation and storage.

Great Review!!!

Great review and video. Loved it. Thanks for making it. I was leaning towards the 11 and now knowing it is really only one foot difference, I'll go with the 9. Thanks again.

Hi, cool work! We'd like to collaborate, how can we get in touch? :)

How wet do you get?

Durable and tough enough for fishing?

I noticed that in your video at 6:30 a wheel kit shows up on the back of your daughter's iTrek 9. Is it a Hobie accessory? Can you describe how it is installed and used on the iTrek 9? Is it necessary, considering how light the iTrek 9 is to carry? You obviously chose to purchase and use it; I'd just like to understand why in your particular circumstances. Thanks for a GREAT, informative video!

Dji action 2 for me . 😊

Nice video production

Fantastic video!

Great review

Wow. The way you capture the scenery the vibe of the area is amazing. I'd love to do little videos like this.

Hello, I'm 6'3" tall and thinking of buying one of these boats especially the 9. Do you think that I'd have trouble using the pedal drive being so tall? Great video by the way.

Awesome video!

Bought an Action 2 with just the regular power pack since it was on sale for 240 this week. Thanks for the review and comparison, it really looks like a great piece of kit and the sale pricing makes it way more palatable for someone who isn't much of a photographer/videographer! Somewhat regretting not getting the second screen module, didn't realize the mics made such a big difference but I never vlog towards myself and have no 1/4" mounts so I thought I'd pass. I was super surprised by how processed the GoPro video looked too, so much noise and sharpening compared to the DJI.

Love the video - especially reading the manual while under sail! Enjoy!

My wife and I have the 9 & 11 respectively. Or at least we HAD. I'd suggest not taking these down a river with rapids. She lost hers in a CAT 2 rapid on the Sandy river and nearly drowned. Flat and easy rivers they are great.

Did you edit the video from the action 2?

What an interesting video! You all captured so much beauty and fun in a memorable day together. Thank you for your thoughtful, applicable comments as I have been trying to decide between these two myself. Your video reminded me of a Rick Steaves program and that’s a good thing. I’ve watched many reviews of these boats but yours helped me make my decision! 😊😊😊

I have the I-trek 9 and I love it ..I even used it during a bass tournament!

I ordered the Action 2, anxiously waiting for its arrival...had the Go2 which was stolen.....plan to use the Action 2 for hiking and Travel videos....Even with the release of the Osmo 3...I still prefer the size and adaptability of the Action 2. I ordered the power combo but I'm planing to get the monitor module soon....great review.

It can fit for fishing too😊😊😊😊 what’s the MSRP?

Absolutely effective review and informative tips. Thanks a lot and all the best.

wow, what a thorough review! I'm a fly fisherman and prefer to stand while casting. Supposedly, you can easily stand on both the 9 and 11. By chance did you guys do a "stand test"?

You seriously need to level your audio level better across scenes.

I'm torn between the better resolution of a standard action cam and a 360. True the one RS with the dual kit can give me the best of both worlds, but if I can settle on not having 360 I'll be able to get better dynamic range with the larger sensor of the action 2. You mentioned 360 workflow being a hindrance which pushed you in the direction of a more standard action cam. Apparently the insta360 app is pretty easy to use for edits? I'm using this mostly for travel videos with family the 360 really gives me assurance I won't miss a thing.

This is the best review of these three cameras I have seen. Thank you. Confirmed my leaning towards DJI Action 2 for a new camera.

Finally reviewer shows i am not in the wrong boat. Action 2 hold it place! You want small size ?,, use camera module only (take short clip with it) Want take video longer,, ? than put battery module (it act as heatsink also) big downside of action 2 only non waterproof on battery module, for me. Subscribe immediately!

What a great comparison 👍🏻 Are you still happy with DJI action 2?

Just bought one and so excited to used it! Great video and info there👍👍

You should narrating the videos, at least a little. Located blank, multiple routes 3 to 5 miles, y places to stay in the area, z hard. You do a great job. People contact with you.

What video editing software do you use? Or you just this good with production?

TV quality video, this video should run on Hobies platform. We were trying to figure out which one to buy 9 ft seems like the right choice as we are in it for fun. The comment on the turbo fins was exactly what I had thought but not one review ever mentioned it, thanks.

Don’t know how many videos I’ve watched in the last year, but none more wholesome than this. Hobie should give you commission on the one I know decided to buy.

Nice review and great vid. I have an Outback and love it but looking at a more simplified yak. Thinking of the Itrek and the Lynx. Have you tried the Lynx to compare?

This was an amazing video Adriel! Amazing camera work and editing, and super helpful for us thinking about these kayaks!

I find by using the 12 volt inflater I can install the seat and rudder thus saving more time when heading out on the water.

Really still struggling between the 11 and the 9. just can’t decide if I maybe will need the slightly more space for my backpack when I want to stay somewhere over the night. But I don’t see really the point as it doesn’t seem to have really that much more room to store it anyways. You think I might get a 40 liters backpack on the boat together with a crate better on the 11 or not really that much difference at all ?!

Phenomenal production quality and story-line. Keep up the excellent creative efforts and your subscriber base will explode. Thanks for the review as well. Been wondering how these handled going upriver.

Great video Adriel!
