Hobie can either work with them to help continue to build on the early success of the class...or not. If Hobie doesn't feel Wave racing is worth the effort then that's all there is to say and things will remain as they are. I don't have a dog in the fight - but I really found your response interesting if nothing else than from a business perspective.
I second that Jake.
I have Hobie shorts, a Hobie (dead) boat and a current HCA-NA membership, although no Wave at present.
I am, however checking into renting one for Duck and might get on one at Put-In-Bay this summer. It would be nice to see a reasonable solution to these issues. The HCC has everything to gain, both in integrity and sales, to accept the class as IWCA has conceived and administered it.
