Nice way to christen the new yak Paz, great stuff. The rudder issue is pretty common, it can be a simple case of not enough tension on your rudder "deploy" line (at least on older Hobies, not sure about the Passport). If it isn't tight enough the yak will suddenly change course exactly as it did in the vid. See you out there!
Thanks Andy! Yeah I took a look online when I got back. I'll still be upgrading the rudder - stock rudder doesn't have a seat release anyway, so worth the upgrade - although why Hobie doesn't just include it as standard is beyond me. We must be close to running into each other by now!
Great vid.. know i'm a bit late to comment but I was just wondering what conditions weather wise are good for going on the beach with the kayak. Keep it up 👍
Thanks for watching mate! I tend to err on the side of caution/safety - I usually look for low winds (under 10 knots) and swell so I can launch from the beach easier. Since I usually chase squid and smaller fish inshore, I try to get out on clearer days with good water clarity, but depends what you're after. It comes down to what you're comfortable with - I could go out on windier days but isn't really worth getting washed around 🤣. Cheers again
Thanks for the good review. Glad I found your channel. Hope to see more on the Passport 10.5 please :) If you allow me one criticism however, the background music was terrible and I wish there was an option to just listen to your commentary and mute the repetitive audio.
Thanks for your comments and feedback. The Passport will definitely be featuring pretty heavily in coming videos. The music's not for everyone, I admit (especially during talk-heavy videos like reviews, which I don't do many of), and during the editing of this video in particular, the music was a bit louder than it usually is, which for some reason I couldn't change. Oh well, can't win 'em all. Thanks again.
Happy channiversary Paz!
Thanks! Much appreciated 👍🐟

Better catching more big squid have a nice day
A lot of squid around at the moment
Coongrats on the new passport mate.. look slick 👍🏻
XL rudder will be a good investment, will definitely improve tracking 😊
Cheers mate! Yeah definitely want the XL - might be a bit of a wait or order though!
