Just curious. I'm here in Hood River (aka - Hooterville) and am willing to travel a bit to check out a couple of Hobies. I thought maybe the Kayak Shed (here in Hood River) or Next Adventure might know anything (or anyone else possibly).

Thanks for the help!

You can demo an outback and revolution from next adventure.  They do demos on Thursday's from 3 to 6 pm.  Call a few days ahead of time to make an appointment.

Well if by "traveling a bit" includes Medford your in luck. We (Northwest Outdoor Store) are having a kayak demo Sun. Aug. 14th noon-5pm at Emigrant Lake, the Greensprings Spur Rd. boat ramp. You can demo almost the entire Hobie line; Pro Angler, Outback, Outfitter, Oasis, Sport, Tandem Island and the inflatables as well as kayaks from Wilderness Systems and Hurricane Kayaks.
I know it's a ways for those of you living up north, maybe you can make a weekend of it and fish the Rogue and Umpqua.
Please call if I can help with any questions, Cheers

Wow! Thank you all for responding! I'm going to contact The Kayak Shed first and see when they'll have the Revolution and Outback on the water in the marina. If not them I'll go to Next Adventure and then out to Medford.

Thank you again! I thought I wanted to get the Outback over the Revolution but after reading the literature and seeing Youtube vids I'm not so sure now. The Revolution looks good when it comes to getting through the slop even though it's rated at 50 lbs. less than the Outback.

Decisions, decisions!

True,

You can demo my outback (Tuned turbo fins and sailing rudder) anytime you like.  Plan ahead and you can make the (tilda) journey of 3 nm to selwood easily.  Let me know.
