Hey guys was thinking about getting a kayak to get fit but also use for fishing. Thing is, i'd like to use a paddle for just kayaking around getting some exercise but would like to use the foot pedals for when im fishing? is there such a kayak that i can do this on?? cheers guys

Sure is mate, of the pedal
Sure is mate, of the pedal kayaks, the Revolution and the Adventuire bot paddle well as well as the pedal system. The Revo is based on the hobie Quest, which is paddle only, and the Adventure is log and sleek making it a gem to paddle.
Either of those two will suit.
