I agree. EPOs are preferred to the standard rudders because they are stiffer which means they don't flex nearly as much as the stock rudders. Be warned though if your rudders were to hit something at anything more than a slow speed you will probably destroy your EPOs. I'd only recommend using them for racing and using your stock rudders all other times since it is easy to change a rudder blade on a Hobie 16. <br><br>Hobie 14 sail #17827
