Hobie Wave Sailing and Capsize 

Your pin wasn't on or was it? What's the odds of you spotting the same problem with the other boat? Third , what's the odd of a kid with scuba gear on the site. Looks shady to me......... Renters beware

No no, I heard you give them a tip...to fix the other one before it happens to another boat. =D

They should have put some rudders on the rigged boat you brought back, sail back out with a boat hook and recover the rudders. The water couldn't be that deep if they're sunk. They didn't seem like they wanted to do anything about it.

I made my 15 year old grandson perform a Forced Failure , by flipping the Hobie Wave over & then flipping it up right , back up to sale ..

The rudder assembly was still on the port transom at 3:40. It fell off right in front of you (and the camera).

I've been sailing Wave's for 6 years... they are incredibly fun to sail... the rudders do not just "fall off" as they did in this video... there clearly was no proper cotter pin to hold them on....

The resort was Ocean Coral and Turquesa Resort. The Hobie was included as part of the "all inclusive" package. They let you take it out for 60 minutes at a time. It may have been 30 minutes but I don't remember for sure. But there was not an additional charge for the boat. The resort was nice and I would go back.

Also more effective if the base of the pole is attached to the lower pontoon.

A tip for not doing good work? Tell them to go fish.

Nope. If you listen to the video closely they asked me for a 'tip" to cover the cost, but I didn't give them a "tip". Since they had my room number I was a little worried they would charge it back to my room, but they didn't charge it back to my room either.

Hello, I work for a new tv show about people in extreme weather and we would like to use this footage for one of our segments. Do you own it? Please email me at mattoknowwhat@gmail.com for more information. Thanks! -- Matt

awesome you lost the rudders

Those guys acted mad as if was their boats. Those boats belong to the resort. They will replace the rudder And hopefully invest in some cheap locking pins.

You swam right towards it as it was sinking and you was holding on to the boat right at the missing rudder kinda clueless? your right and I see it all the time on those resort hobie’s missing or worn parts that’s why I inspect them before going out and point out any janky so they can’t charge me if breaks. I’ve had a stay break at the end cable and the mast fell in my lap but manage to sail it back in. another time a stay bracket broke off the leeward side and I sailed it back they kinda freaked when they saw it swinging in the wind

It’s no good without the rudder assembly, ooopsies

The rudder should not have come off if it was attached properly.

Hey Steve, What is the property name exactly where you rented these. We vacation at Riveria Maya often and would love to rent a Hobie. I own a Getaway and do a lot of ocean sailing. Thanks. Dom

hihihi,they try to get some money..........hihihihi,locals vs turist

seems like a fun little boat to mess around on.. easy to right? compared to H16? I see the tiller came off when you flipped.

Both rudders and the steering tiller fell off?

Yep. East to right. Can't compare to hobie 16. And yes the tiller/rudder came off. It was a resort boat and it was not assembled correctly which caused the rudder to come off. It was "lost at sea".

shouldn't u hv inspected the boat b4 sailing?

whaat doestn hobie have a boom? no boom

Priceless you clown!!
