Review:	Awesome little boat. Great stability. Fast. Fun. Lots of great features. Plenty of storage. Beautiful. The only downside is the weight, but even at 70- something pounds, I am able to get it on top of my car by myself. Best buy I've ever made. Buying from Austin Kayak was also great. Quick and delivered to my driveway.

Review:	I was very happy ordering from Austin Canoe & Kayak. Delivery was quick and tracking info was provided as soon as it was shipped, although I was surprised to find that the shipping company would not lift the kayak off the truck and put it at my door, so I had to ask my brother-in-law to help. This kayak can handle 3 people (children) as long that it adds up less than 550. I just order the Hobie Sail for this kayak from Austin because it would be awesome and I know Austin would provide excellent service. The first week I took it camping, all 20 people took turn using it. Before the first use I would recommend you to get some UV spray protection from an automotive store because the tiny bottle that came with it is not enough. The insert cart is also a must have with this kayak, makes life a lot easier. This is a Hobie so I also recomment getting a lock and cable ($19 at Home Depot) to secure it where ever you go. I think my gear bucket was taken when I had it on my roof rack over night. People will be eyeing for the name Hobie. I also bought the Hobie fish finder kit and turbo fins.

Review:	My wife and I are new to kayaking so we don't have anything to compare it too other than a Hobie Outfitter that my sister has. We love it. It is fast. Wife and I went out with a co-worker & his son on their canoe. Before we knew it, we were several hundred yards ahead of them on our Oasis. We really like the dual steering, that has come in handy several times. If you have room for the extra 2 feet, you will like the extra storage that the Oasis has over the Outfitter too. The 2011 Oasis comes standard with the large sailing rudder so don't order one like I did!! No worries though, ACK handled the return without problem.
