Video

Respectfully, I did not know people own them to use. I saw a person on a private wave and thought it was dumb. I just rented one and it was honestly a very fun boat that I enjoyed. I live in a community where basically everyone are rich. My sailing beach is coverd in hobie 26 17 18 tigers and tornados so I never thought someone would buy a wave. It’s honestly a great little boat. The only problem for me is how often it bow plows because of how low it sits. great video!

Sir, what type of liner do you have in your truck ?

Very good video, great refresher. You explain the concepts plainly and simply! Thanks!

The sail won't 'womp' (nice tribute to "Wind," btw) if you tighten the sheet to center as you gybe. Gybing is scary only if you neglect to handle the main. The womp becomes a snap of the battens, and then you release the sheet to your new point of sail.

There he is! Appreciate it

I like the explanations in layman’s terms. How strong was the wind? I owned a Wave and I bought a crazy cheap Getaway on Facebook. I sold the Wave mainly because it didn’t have wings. I trailer the boat and the Wave was definitely easier to rig and sail.

Buy husqvarna bar oil and mix your own oil and gas using huskvarna oil. Spend a bit more on the bar oil and save on the fuel. Just my 2 cents.

Had mine 4 years. No issues...love it

Good video

Thanks for these vids. More please!

Thanks for this video. Just what me and the kids needed 👍🏻

Do you have a link for the carbineer parts you are using for the bridle hooks? I think mine are pins. I had a hard time hooking in the forestay, and had to move the shroud pins up to get enough slack to hook the forestay. Seems like that would be easier with the beeners rather than trying to get a clevis pin and ring in. Also comment on what ring from top or bottom you are attaching for forestay, bridle hooks and the side shrouds if you would. Tks!

Have you checked the valve lash? I have one hemi and a non hemi that is original with my chipper pull start has alwags been easy. Main thing i have an issue with is bogging on thicker branches.

You used the wrong bolts that is why you needed to pile on washers. Also why not drill two extra holes on each pillars for the correct height to clear the cab and still low enough for garage fit? Seems like an easy task…

I’ve had mine almost 3 years. I noticed some paint coming off on the part you grab to move it. They sent me a new canister. I’m happy with it overall.

Awesome video can't wait to see your other ones

Water does get in the box, but it flows out through the drain tubes (assuming they are not clogged)

can you sit on those wings? if not, can they be changed to the ones like on the getaway?

Nice clear safety tips. Good reminders. I have the 2025 and same sticking with the shifting. I just push the reverse a little to get it to move without forcing it.

Is the padding on the leaning bar standard? I would love this boat but I would have to take it to the lake and take the mast down when I take it home. I grew up with a 9 foot cat yak that I couldn't get replacement parts for. I had so much fun on that boat.

Thanks for the info

I like the steps on your tractor. Who makes those?

Great video! I've sailed a Sunfish about a dozen times. Would you say the learning curve to a Wave is easy?

thank you!

You can program the tractor to shut off that backup safety crap.

Can you drive in the other locking positions without it closing on it's own? Supplier says it's only meant for loading and unloading.

firing Americans for refusing a dangerous and experimental drug is gay. especially when said drug turned out to be deadly and ineffective.. makes it gay and dumb. therefore your hat is gay and dumb

thx buddy,helpfull indeed

What is the best website to find a hobie wave?

Use ethanol free gas if you can find it. Then stabilizer isn't needed.

Bak now makes a t slot rail that works with elevate for a flush single rail mount system.

Is there a composite board you considered using instead of wood?

Enjoyed the video!

As far as the bag, I think I'd take the nuts off from around that chute opening and see if I couldn't wrap some baling wire or something around those bolts, then re-install the nuts over it, forming the wire into some rounded hooks to help hold the bag without making holes in the bag. Either that or put some steel grommets in the bag end and use the hooks through those.

Hmmm, I always just mulch up my leaves in the fall by mowing them repeatedly with the riding mower until they're shredded down fine enough to look like part of the soil. I do get a lot of brush and limbs in the yard about every time we have a good thunderstorm though. Might have to pick one of these up instead of having the big bonfire every fall from the brush pile.

Thanks for the great content, but I almost stopped watching in the first 2 minutes due to the audio being so hideously awful. It was distorted to the point of being unintelligible - something must have been screwy with your audio levels, and it was only playing from the right channel. The review was great though, it's good to get a practical insight into it before shelling out the considerable amount of money to buy one of these decks.

HI great video. Did you find a kayak holder that works with the rack?

*I sold my Nacra 6.0 and 5.7 and bought a wave. Have tweaked it to go faster. Good video.*

Just curious how does pump attach to pto ? Looks like pump is couple hundred dollars probably could make your own way cheaper using there parts plus a fiberglass 55 drum and a cutter king 3 point mount to a attach to back

Great video, always learn something here!! Thanks!

Super helpful. Thank you!

Nice one

Tx's for the review, I'm narrowing down to a hard cover roll up. May not be as convenient in some situations. The advantage of easily removing for full box length & cleaning as you mentioned are very important for my application. I have a an 8' bed because I need that @ times.

That sucks they didn't fit and at that price I wouldn't modify them either, I also would not pay $300+ for them when I can just modify the ones that come on the deck from factory. It pays to be handy.

Thanks!

Just finished installing one of these, glad they decided to add a middle height, so now 18/23/28 inches in height. For my Silverado, 23" is the perfect height, just clears the top of the cab and I can fold my Bakflip all the way to the back window. Only issue I had, was I used the thin seal on my Bakflip, which made re-installing it a little too tight, had to remove the seal(didn't have it in the first place). Also, another thing to note, since you're setting your Tonneau cover on top of the TS rails, like in my case, the tailgate seal on the Bakflip is not flush anymore, leaves about a 3/16" gap.. :( need find a way to seal that part..

I didn't know the step went up? Thanks!

what year is your 2025R ? do the newer ones have a easy connect /disconnect Hydraulic for the front loader?

Does it have a locking feature where you need a key? Or can anyone just walk over and open it?

I agree: this is a great little boat, I rent them here in San Diego.
