I’m extremely pleased with the addition of the Cubera 120 to my fleet of Vibe kayaks.
I tested this and paddled off just the right side of the Cubera and was able to spin 360 degrees with just a few light paddle strokes. Turning with a paddle in a canoe or standard kayak involves several standard strokes but with the Cubera there is less keel in the water so a simple back stroke will turn you instantly. The first couple of paddle strokes and I was moving at a good clip. Welcome to Vibe Kayaks We’re a kayak company founded avid fishermen and kayakers from Atlanta, GA, who love the water, its inhabitants and everything associated with being in the outdoors. I wanted to test some speed and maneuvering so it was time to put the fishing pole down and grab the paddle. Later I was happy to find that landing fish didn’t require me having to lift the fish over a gunnel, but just pull it onto the deck. Vibe Kayaks 12' Maverick 120 Hybrid Kayak Angler Package: Ideal for fishing. Vibe Kayaks Maverick 120: very comfortable Larry chair. Vibe Kayaks Skipjack 90: One of the best picks for 1 person kayak. Vibe Kayaks Yellowfin 130: 3 person kayak with a 500 pound capacity. Getting on and off the Cubera was less of a problem due to the stability and the fact the flat deck with no gunnels. Vibe Kayaks Yellowfin 100: Ideal 1 person sit on top kayak. I felt more stable with less lean on the Cubera due to its flatter wide keel. The Cubera comes in at 12 feet in length and 33.5 inches in width as opposed to my Vibe Shearwater at 12.5 feet by 35 inches. This week I took the Cubera 120 to my local fishing hole to test some of the features and get a “feel” for the balance and responsiveness. The next thing is the multitude of seven top loading gear tracks, tie downs, and a mounting location for Power-Pole Micro Anchor or a Bixby Jet Motor sets this apart from a standard recreational SUPs. First impression is with the Summit Seat and its multiple configurations, base and perch, it loses the SUP distinction for me. This Cubera is my first hybrid “Stand Up Paddleboard”. I’ve been involved with paddle sports from canoes to kayaks for over 50 years.
A bold statement that I wanted to put to the test. Vibe’s Cubera 120 as described on their website as a “hybrid kayak” that “re-invents the fishing kayak”.
