Thanks for speeking your truth. And i hope everything goes well at the doctor's office.
They said it is probably lack of sleep 😴
Great video it’s really good looking out ! I got my first kayak a couple years ago it’s a pelican castaway, I’m loving fishing out this thing but it’s kinda small and I want to upgrade thinking about lifetime Yukon I want to paddle with few accessories just trying to keep it simple that’s what I love the most about yaking is the simplicity. Thanks again
Bought a 10 footer to put into my small van, it's 32" width, tall V bow, very seaworthy and versatile, big little kayak's are great as long as you're not too large a person. But love your concerns and honesty, good on you man.
Facts
You are a good man talking about SAFETY, Aliex!! That is why I purchased my Native Titan 13.5 kayak, with a very STRONG shell, and a beam width of 41 inches across!! ...but it is a bit heavy at about 175 pounds.
Very heavy I always called it a palace lol but once it is on the water lol
I’m currently waiting on my third Hobie PA14 warranty hull right now. I’m glad I purchased the kayak from a dealer you are familiar with, David @ ACTION WATERSPORTS in central Florida. David has been great and had the warranty approved in a day or less on both occasions. It’s beyond me how Hobie would just keep sending the same kayaks out with KNOWN defects. In both of my cases, the scupper Stanton cracked inside where the insert sleeve is. The crack develops quickly and allows a tremendous amount of water in, and before you know it, you’re sinking. I love the fish-ability of the Pro Angler, but with this issue going on, I may opt to off load this one and find another platform to fish out of. Old town is looking good with their offerings.
I think it goes back to what i was saying in this video, all those boats built during covid have issues, and it is not only hobie, but hobie do cut corners i feel like, they make design decisions that will make it for a less durable boat because they probably thought if it breaks we will fix it... You are in great hands with David.
Geez if I was on my 3rd hull I'd sell that kayak so fast. There's going to be a time where I bet they don't want to take care of you man. Hobie is far from what it was. 2 of my fishing buddies just sold theirs, and aren't going back to the brand.
How about a Native Titan 12 vs the NuCanoe Unlimited???? Nice video!
i can do a talking head and broll it haha
I have a kayak from the Brooklyn kayak company, They are made with thicker plasties then a lot of brand name kayak I have look at and they'er stable.
Good to know
Speaking about Hobie, how do you feel about the lynx given that the hull is a different design
Epic fishing machine, there is notbing to crack there, is shouldn't. My only negative about it is the price, it should be $1,000 less but that's my opinion
I swear by Feelfree, once I got my feelfree lure 11.5 with a Torqeedo it’s the best setup I’ve ever had and the most stable kayak I’ve felt as well but I haven’t been able to try hobie or the natives yet.
thats a nice setup motors ftw
I like my $400 Tamarack Pro for a paddle kayak. The Ascend kayaks are alot thinner and more expensive so i avoid them
Probably go with a Native Slayer propel by the fall
and it is basspro come on do som3 good kayaks, hope you get your slayer soon
@@AliexFolgueira Wendell has an extra Native Slayer I can get his hands lol 😂
The Columbus Fishing Expo is coming up, I'll finally get to hang out with him
eye love my walmart kayak though!! the lifetime tamarack angler does the perfect job for me!! gets me on the water and catching fish! beats shore fishing 25/8!!!!
lifetime can be ok, not a super great experience, i was mainly talking about those sit inside cheap kayaks
yeah i think any kayak at walmarts are good as long as you know that all your getting is something that is better then shore fishing. it wont be good if your expecting all the fancy stuff thats where it will fail you @@AliexFolgueira
I have a Tamarack pro with frame seat. I like it for a $400 paddle kayak. But I'm going get a Native propel soon
Ok... as an Old Town Ambassador... I feel like you have to hate on Hobie!
That said, there have been some quality issues the last few years at Hobie, but they've done really well on warranty coverage for those issues...at least in my area.
Wtf I'm no old town ambassador!! I tell the truth.
@AliexFolgueira everyone sees it lol..that's what I was saying about your preferences.
Nah, Hobie is not what it was. I have 2 fishing buddies that were so fed up with issues they kept having with Hobie that they sold them. And they aren't going back to the brand. It just left a bad taste in their mouth for the amount of money they spent, they expected a lot more. That wasn't there. I was on the water problem free more of the time they were with my cheaper kayak.
Great video!
Thanks, what topic should I tackle next ?
@AliexFolgueira maybe a best bang for your buck Kayak .
@@tainov7877 great idea !
Great video
Thank you
I tell ya, it’s money well spend or money well saved when someone else is willing to put forward the time and money to help educate others of their experiences.”, the ins and outs, pros and cons. This can be said for anything we purchase. But really tho, you probably shouldn’t just go buy a kayak and just throw it on the water and just hope everything is going to be ok, if “A” you haven’t a clue about the sport lol it helps to understand and get educated and experience. Then you’ll have a better understanding of what you might want. “B” you really need to try it out before you buy something if you can. After you’ve hear the good and bad. I also understand not everyone will have the same experiences the same problems or issues. But, it should be noted as a way to help us navigate our purchases. Everyone should be aware or possibly issues. Especially if it’s very well acknowledged amongst the owners community. This information just plays a very small role in helping others make their own decisions. It will never stop owners that have and love the experience of what they have. And won’t stop them from buying in the future. We all have the highest expectations. Sometimes, somethings just fall alittle short of what we expected. I can tell you from experience. I’m guilty of buying before I try a product just because it was cheaper or thought it was really cool lol and paid for that in the end. So with that said I greatly appreciate the feedback/support/content.
We all done it, I bought that 133x...big mistake lol
So if the new hobby suffers from the same issues will you speak up also about these?
Happy to hear Finally someone with this many followers speaking up about the issues with Hobby. In all honesty Its a great kayak with the best potential to become the only choice. However the fact that too many failed versions of it has really tarnished the brand.
Tight lines.
Just expressing my own personal experience with the brand, I can't bring myself to buy an used hobie
3 year warranty on the Hobie
I think it is 2 now
zero warranty, to the point my neighbor may sue them. it sunk day one and the dealer has dropped them due to zero response from hobie. take your chances. don't know the full details but he is out 5500 bucks and he has hired a lawyer. greed kills, the dealer has washed his hands of hobie , apparently has tried several times , the guy has bought another brand and is happy with it. sad part i know 4 simular deals with the hobie. don't sell the cart if its the issue. he went 50 yards on the creek and it sunk. hate it for the guy , as i paddled around in my super cheap boss 12ss. 500 bucks and it doesn't sink. can understand why he is pissed off.
I really appreciate your videos. But the truth is every new generation kayak is going to have its growing pains, just like cars. Take the outback and the PA 360 for example. You also need to realize all warranties in general state 'replace or repair' at their discretion. You can't realistically expect a new hull for every crack issue and if they send you a repair kit for something above the waterline that's honoring a warranty. From what I've read Hobie had addressed those issues. Manufacturers take feedback and make improvements, see the 360 XR.
I also found it a little entertaining that you found so many faults on the 133 (that you paid for). I would have expected you with your experience to notice
some of the production faults in person at the store before you bought it for a T&E (thin unsupported plastics and raised scuppers). They have those on display at my local BassPro.
Maybe you could test some Costco kayaks (lifetime?) At least they have a forever return policy which would be appealing to people who want to get their feet wet in the hobby without the monetary comittment instead of the best and worst imo videos.
i was blinded bynits features lol i drank the coolaid i guess
@@AliexFolgueira I really like the skiff style boats a lot. I ended up buying a Mako Pro Skiff 17 last November. I believe I seen you fish on one in another video with buddies.
Do you like Eddyline Kayaks?
Haven't
Didn't you just made a new 2024 hobie 360 XR videos and now your telling us not to buy them, or is it only the ones from 2020-23 hobie kayaks
I wouldn't buy any used hobie.
@@AliexFolgueira ok
@@spacedorito9812 new video uploading soon
why are u dissing this kayak so hard?
The 133x ? Just being real, you want me to lie?
@@AliexFolgueirano don’t lie it’s just you’ve made like 3 videos on the same thing. idk
@LakeForkMan yeah I do them in series, I wish it was all positive, I got two more videos on it to edit and then we are probably done with the boat for ever. I certainly won't buy any Ascend brand kayak and I doubt they would send me one, unless they get their act together. I will do a basspro kayak tour soon though
I'm saying the same thing...
@IBFISHING813 probably have 2 more videos on it, gonna go ultra hard, ruthless
How about KAKU ZULU
Don't have enough experience with them
@AliexFolgueira Would it be possible to do a review on them? Thank you for your time, and I appreciate your videos.
As usual you’re 100% correct. Thanks for being brave enough and educated to tell people the truth
I appreciate that
@@AliexFolgueira thanks. You deserve it all you’re that good
Say it louder for the people in the back!
Kaku Zulu
I think you have a prefrence and it shows. I watched your 133x flipping video..and i feel like it didnt go as you wanted it. It held up great in my opinion. You compare cheap kayaks to expensive kayaks of course youre gonna see alot of difference. Only thing with hobie is that little crack by the storage...thats what set you off...kinda ridiculous😂😂😂
With that being said you helped choose my kayak which might be the 133x 😂😂😂
i compare kayaks to kayaks, dont expect much of the 133x
@AliexFolgueira what I expect is stability and room to customize which the 133x has. Like I was saying it's all about preference and how you want to be on the water. Everyone who owns a 133x says the same. They love em.
@@IBFISHING813 lol 😆 😂 🤣 😅 right
@AliexFolgueira check your comments lol
This guy is just talking out his ass
i dont think your ass can talk..maybe it is the mouth?
Facts...its repetitive
He's been on more kayaks than you. He probably knows what he's taking about.
