SL 16 ???
Right... Well there's the plan and then there are the facts on the ground. The US is a little different. We still have clubs pushing the Wave as a junior boat. 10 SL16's were brought to the states... None sold after three years. Performance was graciously chartering them out for ISAF junior qualifiers.
So, the last time, the US used the old fall back... hobie 16's with spins.. BUT
We had an internal Hissy fit with the NAHCA over Hobie 16's with spin's used in the the USA. A compromise was reached but the boats are no longer in the US...
So... the defacto junior boat is a Hobie 16. Period.
As I said.... we have issues.
