Published on Feb 15, 2013 The Hobie A.I. is not designed to catch waves. It has a flat hull which makes nose dives very easy to do. 2 ft waves are the top end of the size of waves they can catch. Even with a deflector the yak can twist sideways and white water can flood over the side of the boat washing you overboard. The crossbar stress pin can break collapsing one ama into the side of the hull which results in a capsize........in the surf. Catch only tiny waves in semi-sheltered bays over flat extensive sand bars. Oh yes....pull the daggerboard COMPLETELY out of the water before catching the smallest of waves. If you a stupid enough to try catching small waves ...do it where there are no surfers in the water because if you lose control of the boat.....it could get ugly.
