Differences in Wave main sizes must have been related to some early changes...years ago. The sails are digitally cut, so they cannot vary much.

We also have to understand what "Youth" is here. I think by Rick's description, entry level sailing is not "Youth" sailing. Youth are experienced sailors. They want a high performance boat with strings to pull.

Actually, the Wave jib kit and spinnaker were requested by Hobie Cat France for this training purpose. They are scaled to the Wave size and not intended as true high performance features. That is...they are not maxed out for the Wave.
