The Hobie Outback is a great play thing!

I rented a "normal" tandem yak and took my daughter (10 at the time) out on a local reservior while my wife tried my Outback. My daughter had a lot of trouble paddling the normal yak.

After we got back to shore, I put my daughter in the Outback and she was all over the place laughing and whooping it up! She had a great time now that she was in full control with so little effort.

Now, I just have to teach her how to fish from it...
