Here are some photos from the event yesterday ...










A view of the Hobie "Miragedrive" peddle-fin assembly.




A view of the drive in action. Some have said you can maintain a speed of 3 to 4 kts. easily with this system. Your arms are free to do whatever you want.









A view to the north over the swimming lagoon and launching area to the north of the parking lot at Matheson Hammock.













Most of the above photos were posted on the Adventure Sports Facebook page and there are still others at https://www.facebook.com/adventuresportsmiami

Fide shot a number of the above images along with Juan Pablo. More images on the FB pages and at https://www.facebook.com/rick.iossi?...4672692&type=1
