Hobie Mirage Drive System
You pedal by stepping alternately left and right, not unlike an exercise stepper, to drive two underwater flippers. They work much like a penguin's fins to propel the Hobie Mirage with surprising speed and ease. All of which lets you go into kayaking feet first.
All very neat but at a price.

Oooooh! Wonder if G could manage a mod on mine Jaq!
Give it go! ;) The only thing I didn't like about the Hobie set up is that it is not water tight it floats but you are almost sitting in eater as there are holes directly through where those fins go in. Might be fine on a large clean lake or slow moving stream but I wouldn't want to sit in canal water!

Hi Budds
He`ll do anything for you.
Be nice to sit back with a glass of something and just pedal.
