I have a Stealth 14. My avg speed is 2-3.5 I have had it to 5.8 but I was tired after a couple of minutes of that.

went 5.8 on outback with turbo fins trying to go fast as i could go. 3.2 is good cruising speed. could peddle forever.

Man Im going to have to try this now. Im guessing not very fast in my little 10ft but i could be wrong. I alwasy seem to be moving faster than my buddies anyways.

I noticed I average about 2.8-3.3 just normal paddling. Never tried to see how fast I can go. 2012 Ride 135.

My top speed in a kayak would be different than yours. If we get a GTG without monsoon winds we might could have you try sprints in a lot of different boats based on your paddle stroke or pedal as it may be.

I would take a Hobie AI against any kayak out there for top speed, even without the sails. Lightning on the water. The Revolution probably behind that one. We need to race! That could be fun at a GTG. Sprints and relays!

then these guys would show up

10 years ago I could get over 6 to blink on gps with big bladed paddle for a few seconds with no wind, waves, or current, that I could tell. Perception Illusion, 14'3 length, 27 inch beam. A month ago I was coming in and gave it a shot to see how much I had "lost" in speed. Same kayak, except hull is no longer smooth or rigid, have gone to a small bladed carbon fiber paddle, still getting gps to blink 4.9 to 5.2 for very short distance.

Malibu x-13 loaded with gear 10 mph wind cruising is about 3. Perfect for trolling.
Paddling to get somewhere else usually about 4.
Paddling like im trying out for the special olympics i made it to 5.1 mph.

Do they have legs? They look angry... Where do they keep their fishing gear?

I go really dang fast considering im paddling one of the slowest tubs there is. I average 4 - 4.5 mph, top speed I've ever seen was 5.8.

I've covered 6 miles in just over an hour in my sink Old Town Loon 111. The OT loon is a low profile fast paddle compared to a SOT of any size. Without a powerful paddler pushing for all their worth most fishing yaks just don't move that fast..

Ascend FS10 loaded with low wind around 2.3 just slowly paddling. I got up to 3.2 going really hard. This is according to the gps on my ff.

Fast. Reeeeaaal fast.

All this talk of speed has me thinking about some of the old sit on tops that could fly.

Just wondering if anyone ever demoed the Current Designs Zone. Now this kayak had some speed.
