Enjoyed it dom - very comfortable 👍

Just purchased the Hybris 500 for me and the kids after watching your videos. Hopefully it will serve us well this summer. Keep doing what you're doing, great reviews & videos, many thanks.👍

Nice video bud, looks really durable.👌👌

Some questions: 1) Is the drop stitch floor a separate removable piece? (I prefer non-separate one-piece due to easier cleaning) ( 2) Does the very narrow front end "tongue" of the drop stitch floor result in bow being TOO flexy reducing ability to punch through waves and also giving away some of the speed advantage of drop stitch floors? 3) Do the wrinkly looking indented areas on both sides of this narrow front end "tongue" slow the boat down or might they actually improve the bow's entry lines? (4) Is side tube diameter less than on the Aquaglide Chelan? (In video side tubes seem to be a bit smaller in diameter which could help make boat faster but less capable in mild whitewater) (5) Compared to Aquaglide Chelan: faster? lighter? less capable in whitewater due to smaller side tubes? better in cross winds due to second fin up front? (6) Does it paddle OK without the fins? (essential for paddling shallow rivers) Looking to buy the longer Hybris 500. Currently own Sea Eagle 420X (superb boat versatile-comfortable-folds up nicely, but a bit slow) and brief paddle in relatives Aquaglide Chelan 155 on a day too windy to get feel for boat in normal conditions but he's quite happy in boat both on lakes and mild class 2 white water. Also have test paddled Sea Eagle Fast Track with IMO silly inflatable bow fin which only serves to make folded up boat more bulky and require use of rear fin to prevent spin outs. My dream boat for lake paddling would be a faster, slightly longer, slightly narrower, slightly lighter version of Sea Eagle 420X and the Hybris 500 seems to check some of these boxes so any insight would be appreciated. I don't like too many extra doo dads on some boats that compromise easy fold up so actually prefer the simplicity of the Spinera and Sea Eagle 420x over the Sea Eagle Fast Track. Agree with you that seat that come with some boats can be lacking so here is my tip that I use with my 420X. I clip in a back band only, no bottom seat attached, which allows back band to swing up high on my back since not attached to seat bottom - lighter - simpler - cheaper - and more comfortable for me at 6'5" tall.

It delivered

As always a great review 👍, if you get the chance do try out the kokopelli moki 2 r - deck, absolute cracking ik, currently on offer at escape watersports, would love to hear your thoughts, 👌😎

Thank you for the revue I fancy this kayak I love the chelan but like a lot of people I can't afford 12 hundred quid .

Thanks for the review. This is a model I'm considering as a newcomer, along with the Intiwit X100, Blue Fin Ranger, and Sevylor Charleston. A main priority for me would be decent seats as i get lowet back problems. What is the issue with these seats? Are there any replacements you'd recommend? The Blue Fin seats get great reviews but will they fit? Are the attchaments common across Kayaks?

Why are there not more reviews on this model? At 1/2 aquaglide price, it sure is interesting, but I’m concerned that I can’t find a single long term review on the boat… Do you find the Chelan to be a large step up from the hybris?

I can't find a revue on the 310 if you know of one I would love to know . What I want to know is how does it track I believe it's single skeg maybe it only needs one would be nice to hear your views on the one man spinera as you give honest reviews.

hi there, can you tell me please if you have experience with the Seago Toronto 3 person Kayak? Many thanks Jan

HI, I was just wondering if you put the additional ring yourself or does it come with the 410 ? because from the video I have seen on the company website, it does not have this ring in the center so it's not possible to put the seat as you did, to go alone. Where did you get that additional ring ?
