Hobie Compass - Recent Updates? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

One thing I noted from another person who tested out the compass is that the rudder control is not nearly as responsive as on the Revo or outback.

I never had a chance to test out the compass, but I will say that it took a lot of fiddling to get the outback exactly where I want it in terms of seat position for comfortable peddling all day. I definitely would not want any less customizability on that seat.

I would be curious to hear from someone who has tried to surf launch a Compass. I had posted earlier about how you really have to work to get an outback in and out of the surf compared to something long and lean like a Revo or a Trident.
