It takes a good sailor to push the TI solo in big wind and waves. But it takes a GREAT sailor to be able to shoot a full length music video at the same time! Ed -That was fantastic!
Eduardo: como dijo Guardiola, eres el "puto amo", "meas colonia". Deja el negocio de la restauración y dedícate a ser comercial de Hobie, porque si yo fuera el responsable de esta empresa, te haría una oferta que ni Guardiola hubiera podido rechazar. No dejas de sorprenderme y superarte. Realmente espectacular. ¡ENHORABUANA! Ya estoy deseando que me des otro alegrón. Por supuesto un "me gusta", ya sabes de quien es ¿no?
Excelente. De lo mejor... el mejor video que he visto sobre el TI navegando con buen viento. Observo que llevas el nuevo timón. ¿Venía ya instalado o lo cambiaste tú? El original me ha dado algún problema que otro (vamos, que se rompió) con viento fuertecillo y desde entonces no me atrevo a llevar el cacharro al límitte que tú lo llevas. Tengo ya el nuevo en casa y estoy deseando instalarlo para ver qué tal va. Un saludo y enhorabuena por tus ediciones.
I was wondering if this was possible...thanks for showing this! I am seriously thinking of buying one of these to go exploring where I live (Falkland Islands)
Buenísimo Edu, este me lo había pasado, que maravilla macho, no veas, me he quedado asombrado como navega el tandem. Increíble. Muy buena edición. Saludos.
jajajaja, muchas gracias Javier. Es que cuando se disfruta salen las cosas,no? La verdad: entré un poco a regañadientes porque el viento ya subía y no había salido solo con esa fuerza, aunque no pasaba de los 20 nudos. Casi seguro que pasé de los 12 nudos. Espectacular. Me sentí muy cómodo en el tándem. gracias de nuevo
Get a Gortex dry suit and a fleece bunny suit to wear under it, and a neoprene foam hat & gloves, and rig something to help you climb back aboard in an emergency, and you will feel safe & comfortable enough to enjoy sailing there. It's what I wear in the winter in NW Washington State, USA.
muchas gracias Dani! Es verdad que hay ángulos muy guapos, pero la calidad de imagen no me convence del todo. Gracias, saludos! y ya ves lo que nos ponen por aquí: a volar entre islas...
It´s more comfortable Rear, just because of the splashing... Also, sailing there is more fun as the bow gets higher over the sea... right, if you want to get more speed then, at times, the position has to be more forward specially if wavy so the boat sails better as cut the waves instead of crashing them. Still learning!
educavendish - I've been looking at the tandem island for awhile now, however I don't know anyone that actually owns one and the sales goons only want to sell, sell, sell. My question is: if you have sustained winds (5-15+ knots) is it possible to traverse 20+ miles in a day? I want to be able to drop in at spot A and get to spot B and camp, drop in again and reach spot C. The entire trip is about 35 miles. Would the TI be able to cart a person and camping gear and still be able to get enough speed to make the distance required? Suggestions? Thanks for your time.
Hi Jayson, in many of our vids you could watch how we are able to do more than 20 miles in a journey. I recommend you to watch 3 HOBIE TANDEM ISLANDS AVENTURA LANZA FUERTE this is our three days adventure in Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, here in the Canaries. We camp two nights and sail two and a half days. 150 km. thanks!
Yes to all your questions. All you need is wind. If you live where the water is cold you will need a full-body wet or dry suit. In the TI, you can furl the sail and stop out on the open water if you have to fix anything or need a break. It is a very steady platform.
Hi Jayson, I don't know where you are be we rent (and do tours) on Hobie Islands on Vancouver Island, Canada. But check/watch Hobie's website - they are putting together a list of where you can rent them. Also, at Hobie "demo-days" you can try them out for free!
Hi Julien, from this video´s date I have uploaded 16 more videos... Last one about three weeks ago: a video with a images shot from a drone, it worths watching it. here it is: 6 ABISAL12 HOBIE TANDEMS FROM PHANTOM VIEW thanks for your comment!
HI B Hill, well I rather prefer the tramps this way if windy... Wind can create a pushing effect if blowing underneath that I prefer not to handle if sailing alone like in this case. Thanks very much for your comment!!
