Jim,
Have you actually gone in and out through the surf yourself on a Wave? Because of their buoyancy, I can sort of picture them being fun surfing in to the beach; but I have heard that they have a really hard time getting OUT through the surf. I would be interested in hearing your experience.

Also, you might have a hard time getting Hobie charter boats for such an event after your reference to "tearing up" Inter 20's in the surf. Manufacturers like charter boats coming out of an event looking as new and unblemished as possible.
