Hi,

Now this is really confusing (forget the past and onward commercialsim), once again seeking part and contacts ran accross
the following site "Hobie Alter's 50th Celebration Doheny Beach, California 5/5-5/7/2000" and looked at each any every picture, there wasn't
1 classic Hobie, thats right a 50 year party and the guess of honor "14 Hobies" was not to be seen. There was NOT ONE PIC?????!!!!!!!, but mucho ones of new designs.

I am starting to agree with some of the older persons (SURFER/HOBIE) websites, that the old days are to be forgotten, and commericalism, personal oneupmanship and you want to play bring on the bucks
is slowing evolving

Has the sport really become, you HGGGGGGGGGG owner of older boat please don't go away, just go away.

Don't mean to micro view, but over the past six months of seeking restoration parts it is becoming evident that such feeling exist especially in the pre 30's group.

It's tooooo bad couldn't crash the party with a restored Surfergirl, could you imagine the expressions.

Your opinion would be valued.

Mike
