Even with the paddle it's 16' works against any sharp turns.

I'd gladly Video from the beach, but I'm not going to be the guy to try it.

I'm yer huckleberry. It will probably be ugly, but I will do it any way you want.

Possibly at the next Iceman surf~N~fish days at San'O there will be some surf and if there is a hobie there I could try launching, landing and SURFING a hobie?
Although I have never tried any hobie befoe, I have seen many people eat shit in the surf. Its quite entertaining. I am not going to knock it until I try. Thats only fair...
It appears to me, that most wipeouts are due to pilot error??? Hobies have rudders and that would seem EZ to have directional control. "DC"
Hobies seem to be quick at the peddle and have no trouble getting up to speed...it would seem to me that if you charge it and catch the wave early, you could sit back and enjoy the ride with total control. With the rudder, turning shouldn't be a problem right?

The guys that have hobies seem to really like them...my wife and daughter are interested in trying them too. I admit, I don't think a hobie is the right one for me, I want to try and I really want to know if they can be surfed worth a darn? fwiw- I have never seen anyone surf a hobie.

Zed- you made a funnay! hehe
I'll meet you at the bike racks after school.
I can't let you get dog pilled...
