Landing a Hobie Pedal Kayak - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I use the paddles to launch and land. Its comfortable to me. I've tried it both ways. When I used the mirage drive I bent the rods because I didn't lock them up far enough. Paddles seem to be the best for me. Again its what your comfortable with . When I do land and launch I make sure the skeg and the rudder are up. Once I get past the breakers I will engage it all. When landing again, I make sure everything is up. Take out the mirage drive prior. I use carabiner clips to make sure they are locked and come in with the paddles.
