Hi all first post but have been browsing the site for a while. was just curious if anyone has seen these, I think i was watching Hank Parker use this thing that was shaped like a canoe but it was man powered like paddle boats. it didnt look too big and I think would be kinda fun to have. I tried doin a google search but only came up with paddle boats and the water bikes. Anyways thanks agian all for running a great site

Island was right, Hobie is most likely the one you saw. There is another company who has entered the realm of pedal powered craft- Native. The have what is essentially a foot powered trolling motor; instead of using flat "paddles" this one uses a prop.

Check it out: www.nativewatercraft.com
