I purchased my new kayak at Tri-State Outfitters in Moses Lake, WA. They were very knowledgeable and helpful. I love the Mirage Passport and the MirageDrive pedal system! I like that I can remove them and just use my paddle alone. I do wish they had some foot braces that I could attach when not using the pedals. I cannot for the life of me find any answers on what will work! Hobie doesn't have them and said to check an after market dealer and still no luck. The Passport rides smoothly in the water and feels secure for me as I am a larger person. My first trip was a 4 hour trip down the river and the seat is very comfortable! Just wish I had something to brace my feet on! Great kayak and I would highly recommend it!
