The Wave Class (IWCA) has a well established set of rules that have been in effect for virtually all of the Wave events held so far. These are not "Rick's Rules"...they are the official Wave Class rules.

The Hobie Cat Company (not the HCA-NA) recently dissallowed those rules and mandated that HAVAMEGA follow manufacturer's specs on Wave participation, contrary to the IWCA rules.

Most active Wave racers have chosen to attend the Wave North Americans this weekend in Melboune Florida instead.

We all wish HCA-NA and the Hobie Cat Company well with their new Wave class.
