Anti-Hobie sentiment?

I have a Hobie Adventure. I do take it out sans mirage drive sometimes. It paddles and tracks a million times better than my old eXtreme, or the old ok scrambler I used to rent. Its like a 16 ft dagger. It isn't going to be as efficient as a tarpon 160, but relatively speaking, it paddles better than some other "traditional" kayaks on the market. I also used to have an outback. Exactly like paddling an giant egg...

Growing older sure beats the alternative, and actually I'm kind of "Young for my age" As to "Senior Member" I see it as kind of complimentary like "Biggus Dickus"

sometimes when I've had a crummy day at work I remember my kayak is at home waiting for me and at a moments notice is ready to go create another adventure I'll never forget and the crummy day... is forgotten. So whether you paddle or peddle who cares because it really doesn't matter when your being towed. If its made of hard plastic,floats and doesn't require gas what is it ?
