My wife and I never adopted the pedal style yaks. We still have our four Tridents, two 11"s and two 13's.

Hooked a lot of us.

I just retired my OK P13 and was shocked by the changes in the industry. It seems the only brand still with a recognizable product line is Hobie. The sub-$1k offerings have pretty much vanished entirely along with SOT's designed to be paddled more than leisurely in flat water. The pedal and motor offerings are insane.
Much like Richard, my OK still beckons but it needs some serious reconditioning after sitting unused for quite a few years. In the mean time I'll be in my stubby & chubby Tupperware (Lifetime Tamarack Pro).

Bringing things full circle. Has anyone tried https://swellwatercraft.com/? Looks like they have some Ocean Kayak in their ancestry, which isn't suprising considering Tim Niemier was involved. They even named them Scuppers, after the OG Scupper pro I'm guessing.
The Scupper series looks exactly like the type of ride I've been lamenting the death of. Would love to take the 16 out for a test ride.
