YOU FINALLY FIXED THE SEAT!! Well, you made the seat actually secured... But its still way too low of a seat in this kayak. Bottom line, loving this new rotomold and cannot wait to see how your team evolves in the next 10 years.

Unfortunately Hobie is not very responsive. I both, called and left a message via their website message portal and they did not respond to either query. My initial question was regarding the 10.5R as I was interested in deck pads for the new kayak we purchased. They simply did not respond. After a couple of weeks I did get ahold of them via phone but they still could not respond definitively. The bottom line here is the Passport 12 and the 10.5R are completely two different kayaks. Therefore if Hobie is going to present a video such as this one they should have done a separate one for the 10.5R because they are vastly different. There is no real reason they had to omit a transducer cavity on the 10.5R as they are both considered FISHING KAYAKS! This is very frustrating for people when they are purchasing a new kayak. And deck pads! They molded the floor differently between the two models and because they did, we cannot get deck pads for the 10.5R.

I’m confused about the front deck area. Some videos I’ve seen show the 8 inch round molded area. Some show what looks like the old design.

I own a passport 12.0 from 2022. I have added several things like the new rudder, rectangular hatch, more tracks, 6mm deck pad, fish finder... What does this option offer thats an upgrade? It still has the bad seat, same layout, and zero improvements over the thermoformed version.

@Danxiong 2 жыл бұрын

It’s perfect for the new kayakers. Thinking they’re getting a good deal cuz it’s a name brand kayak and under 2k but realistically it’s missing a lot of features that should be a standard nowadays. A low positioned seat like that just isn’t good for fishing, no deployable rudder, no front hatch, and most importantly no reverse is just ridiculous.

I'm not a new kayaker. I got rid of a Native propel max 12.5 and a compass because this is a better platform. You can say all ypu like without having ever been in one, but I'm talking from experience.

Gear pockets, turbo fins and a added hatch was like 250, worth it, and I did it at my leisure didn't have to pay for it all up front, and anyone who tells you, you need reverse is to lazy to grab they're paddle which is how everyone got around before we got spoiled

I come here to express my total disregard for the kayakers who own Hobie kayaks, as I have now contacted them and was informed that there will no longer be any Kayaks imported by the company. Looking at the comments here, everyone is talking about the kayaks and how they are going to let us down like this, without support or parts. You had an obligation to make an agreement with Hobie in the USA because the amount of kayaks you sold was much more than the sailboats that serve only one class of the Brazilian population that is most well-off. Hobie Brasil only became known for kayaks and not for sailboats here in Brazil. Here is my total indignation with Vestergaard Comercio de Artigos Esportivos, Ltda (trade name Hobie Brasil) what a disappointment. I hope that Pacheco who left that company gets representation so he can sell Hobie Kayaks. Thank you Vestergaard Comercio de Artigos Esportivos, Ltda for your disregard for all Kayakers in Brazil.

Non adjustable seat, hand retractable rudder even though there’s an upgraded rudder that can be retracted by a rope, same weak plastic accessory rails as previous gen. Lame. I have a passport but no way I’m upgrading it to this. Once it kicks the bucket I’m going with another brand. Hobie you should just sell your drives and modify them so they fit other kayak makers that actually have great kayak features.
