We saw a really cool boat at IFTD yesterday. It’s a unique concept by a company called Diablo Paddlesports. The boat is a ‘Hybrid SUP-Yak’ called the Adios. What the heck is a Hybrid SUP-Yak? It’s a cross between a stand-up paddleboard and a sit-on-top kayak that’s purpose-built for fishing. OK, so what does that…

Autotethers
We’ve installed Autotethers on all of our boats at Andros South. This is a great new wireless system that replaces a lanyard connection to the kill switch on our motors.
