Is this a purchase from the sail club's winter surplus sale that you mentioned here?

No - even better. It's "free with purchase". It's one of the club boats.

Hobie Wave 16? Awesome cruisers!

I enjoyed the show, the music was great, the singing was a bit different, I'll give it an 8 out of 10. 10 is not Bo Derrick, just a number to strive for and unreachable.
Blokarts got their battens from the same company, their stupid also.

I think the Waves are 12' or 14'? I just discovered the Hobie Getaways - the 16' version of these boats...I think that'd be perfect once our family is all "water-ready". The thing is, for our lakes where rocks are scattered all about the rotomolded hulls are perfect - same reason I never did get that fibreglass kayak I had my eye on. Our rivers are the same....random rocks everywhere.

For now, the Wave is perfect for someone like me. That there is the second sail (ever) for me. Granted the winds were so light you really just needed to point the boat and drift but still......I know I can handle it in stiffer winds. But then the kites might not stay in the truck.

@BK - That's the American icon Eric Cartman singing :lol: I learned one HUGE lesson here. It's far more fun to have multiple angles and try to cut something OK together than it is to have multiple runs from different angles and try to fake one run out of it ; )

Time to pick up another GoPro......

nice MAC, definitely right choice!

those i think are 14' , and can be run with a jibe, helps finish a tack if speed is weak or rough water. speedy and easy for one.

cool fun
