Spring kayaking on a secret creek | Testing the Hobie Endeavor 12.5
May 31, 2026
Spring is a great time to explore new places, as flood waters make it possible to get into places you can't normally reach. In this video, I'm taking the new Hobie Endeavor 12.5 recreational kayak for a test paddle, while exploring a hidden creek that I found on Google Maps. The trip could go smoothly, or it could be an epicly long day. Either way it is sure to be an adventure!
