Everglades Challenge is testing ground(should I said water?) for latest Hobie development.

Jim Czarnowski, Director of Engineering and guy behind of flippers and the rotomolded development is known as "PenguinMan" in watertribe. Last two years he was sailing prototype of two sitter Adventure Island trimaran.
Also Nick Hall "Pelican" has been sailing Mirage line of Hobie almost all races he entered.
The flippers work and work well.
