The Hobie Drift Chute is a large cone shaped โparaโ chute deployed in the water to slow your kayak drift speed in windy conditions
Hobie Kayak Fishing Drift Chute
The Hobie Drift Chute (aka Drouge, aka sea anchor) also includes a buoyancy pad so that it can be released quickly when fishing and later retrieved if needing to work the fish on the line for a few moments. The design is such that it stays just under the water fully deployed. A counterweight down below means that the chute will take optimal shape immediately upon deployment
