Hobie Mirage Pro Angler 12 - Released in the U.S

[Tonystott]

OK, my hand's up as a weekling.... But, having had a laminectomy, a double spinal fusion, biceps reattachment, hip replacement and heart disease, I will never try and lift my Hobie Tandem Island, and I confess I even bought a winch with my trailer.

My TI weighs 90kgs odd, and has absolutely nothing to do with my ability or otherwise to climb back on board. I think there are a few people here with small d#ck complex

Hmmmm, I think I've played a part of turning this post about PA 12's into a farce about lifting capabilities and personal stamina.
i do apoligize for any offence caused, it wasn't meant to be implied that way.
It's just that I'm 51, overweight and been smoking for 35 years and I can't see a problem with lifting my yak onto the back of my ute.
Anyway, again, my apologies.
P.S. I'm getting a PA 12 after July.

I think the owner of the sport is four foot six and female. Judge not others as you have no idea of their limitations.

Or doesn't want salt water on their car?

I can deadlift my Revo onto my roofracks, but rarely do. It's not good for me. My roofracks are also pretty bloody high. There are carparks I can drive into because of the height (without the yak). Bit diferent if you are driving a falcon or i30.
I like the trend to smaller yaks. Really, long yaks are only needed for open ocean fishing.
I would not own a PA as my fishing style is to simplify, simplify and simplify again. I get most enjoyment when I'm in my SIK with 2 rod holders, a lure box and a pair of lipgrips.
But to those who love to take it all, I reckon this is an improvement on the older PA.

Hobie will have the company stand at the ABS this year. yes, we will have a PA12 on display. All dealers have been advised that Hobie will have limited supply in June (two per dealership) followed by better supply in July.
We currenlty have some 400+ on order within Australia and should be able to clear all back orders by mid-Aug. Most dealers are taking orders now. Hope this helps and see you at the show.
