Great review Chris, I saw the boat before going on vacation and it looked very promising, and Sarah couldn't get over that seat and hoping to get that seat to try to retro fit to her Revolution. As for the turning it souds like it could use a rudder which is not uncommon for any kayak over 13-13.5'.

I'll definitely be adding the rudder when they come in. FeelFree uses a proprietary rudder control that let's you use your toes to move the rudder instead of the whole footrest. Nice design that let's the footrests do their job instead of sacrificing support for control.

Here's a couple of pics from Sunday. Not my usual fishing technique, but I figured an 8 yr hiatus from this style was long enough.

That sounds like a great idea.
And great pictures. I have a Ride 135 sitting in the driveway that I think would be a great platform to bowfish from.

Cool pictures. Any of you tried flyfishing out of the Ride 115? I may give it a shot if I get out on the water this weekend. I think it's stable enough.

Hook 1 has more Mokens in. They have the 10, 12.5, and the 14. The 12.5 is priced VERY well, check it out in store for details.

Here is the Moken 10 in pink camo. Wives, girlfriends, daughters, etc can get their own boat...good leverage to get one if your own, lol

Those are some wild color patterns on those Mokens.
