The resort was Ocean Coral and Turquesa Resort. The Hobie was included as part of the "all inclusive" package. They let you take it out for 60 minutes at a time. It may have been 30 minutes but I don't remember for sure. But there was not an additional charge for the boat. The resort was nice and I would go back.
I've been sailing Wave's for 6 years... they are incredibly fun to sail... the rudders do not just "fall off" as they did in this video... there clearly was no proper cotter pin to hold them on....
They should have put some rudders on the rigged boat you brought back, sail back out with a boat hook and recover the rudders. The water couldn't be that deep if they're sunk. They didn't seem like they wanted to do anything about it.
You swam right towards it as it was sinking and you was holding on to the boat right at the missing rudder kinda clueless? your right and I see it all the time on those resort hobie’s missing or worn parts that’s why I inspect them before going out and point out any janky so they can’t charge me if breaks. I’ve had a stay break at the end cable and the mast fell in my lap but manage to sail it back in. another time a stay bracket broke off the leeward side and I sailed it back they kinda freaked when they saw it swinging in the wind
Yep. East to right. Can't compare to hobie 16. And yes the tiller/rudder came off. It was a resort boat and it was not assembled correctly which caused the rudder to come off. It was "lost at sea".
Nope. If you listen to the video closely they asked me for a 'tip" to cover the cost, but I didn't give them a "tip". Since they had my room number I was a little worried they would charge it back to my room, but they didn't charge it back to my room either.
Your pin wasn't on or was it? What's the odds of you spotting the same problem with the other boat? Third , what's the odd of a kid with scuba gear on the site. Looks shady to me......... Renters beware
Hey Steve, What is the property name exactly where you rented these. We vacation at Riveria Maya often and would love to rent a Hobie. I own a Getaway and do a lot of ocean sailing. Thanks. Dom
Those guys acted mad as if was their boats. Those boats belong to the resort. They will replace the rudder And hopefully invest in some cheap locking pins.

Yer I got a hobie as well. The cotter pins were definitely not installed. Blame the person who assembled the tiller it not the end user.
The rudder assembly was still on the port transom at 3:40. It fell off right in front of you (and the camera).
Also more effective if the base of the pole is attached to the lower pontoon.

I made my 15 year old grandson perform a Forced Failure , by flipping the Hobie Wave over & then flipping it up right , back up to sale ..

No no, I heard you give them a tip...to fix the other one before it happens to another boat. =D

seems like a fun little boat to mess around on.. easy to right? compared to H16? I see the tiller came off when you flipped.

Both rudders and the steering tiller fell off?
The rudder should not have come off if it was attached properly.

shouldn't u hv inspected the boat b4 sailing?
It’s no good without the rudder assembly, ooopsies
whaat doestn hobie have a boom? no boom
Onni 732 easier to handle the sail, better sail shape to go faster, less hardware to buy and maintain.
Steve Cook cool
awesome you lost the rudders
A tip for not doing good work? Tell them to go fish.
Priceless you clown!!
miller sprinkles...🤣,u the real clown
