I have been conversing with older surfers out in California and here in Surf City N.J.
The Hobie was a social craft in it's heyday, many peiople would hang out on the beach all weekend sail, party, barbecue and socialize.
There were minimual competitions other than locally.
I pose the question, how many people bar hop with their hobie. I mean land on a beach where club is at our slowly cruise down a river and stop a local watering hole for burger and iced cold one.
I just think, the competition thing is an overbearing segment, the orginial intent has been lost.

Better yet park on the beach overnight and enjoy a motel.
The outline above would be better with loved one rather than single handed.
Please see my attachement from 1973, it simply doesn't apply anymore.
PS: As a side note only new craft is honored what happened to older Hobies, another example of todays marketplace.
