- Part 2 - Getting the Hobie Wave out on the water, controlling the speed, turning, and docking. Made this video with beginners in mind, but useful for anyone who wants to learn more about sailing this boat! I cover the basics of sailing, what I want to know before a sail, and lots of great footage on the water. If you want an overview of the Hobie Wave and how to set it up to sail, check out my Part 1 video!
I have other videos of this amazing little boat on my channel @upnorthguy !

Thanks for this video. Just what me and the kids needed 👍🏻
Awesome! Thanks for the comment, glad it helped!!
Great video! Awesome narration and video quality! Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate that!
Great video.. love from Turks and Caicos Islands
Thanks! Beautiful place you have down there- year round sailing!
Great video! I used to sail these with my Dad and now want to take my son out but it’s been awhile so I needed a refresher! Thanks! I remember we turned it over a few times, and hanging off the hull to right it is a clear memory of mine - hoping not to need that move until a few trips down the track!
Thanks for the comment! Glad the video helped, it is a super fun sail for 2!
Great video. We just got a Getaway, can't wait to get it on the water.
Thanks! You are going to have a blast with it!
Super helpful!!!
Glad to hear it!
Tell me more about your trampoline. I like how you filled in the gaps!
The guy I bought it from said his wife didn’t like the splashing, so he found these somewhere aftermarket. I don’t think Hobie makes them. The color matches perfectly, and they do the job!
What is the best website to find a hobie wave?
I found mine used on Craigslist. Also could check Facebook Marketplace!
Great video, are these readily available these days?
I believe Hobie still sells new ones. I found mine on Craigslist. Facebook marketplace is another place to look for a used one.
What is the smallest acreage lake you would put this boat on? Also, how much wind speed does it take to get moving?
I would say 300-400 acres would be the smallest lake, otherwise you would be turning around too much. The boat can get moving on a very small amount of wind, a breeze that creates a ripple on the water is enough. It’s one of the things I love about it - how it can start and come back on so little wind!
Hi, do you know the max wind speed knots it can go out in ? Thanks
turning into the wind is a tack, turning with the wind is a jibe and needs to be done carefully as that is when things are most likely to break.
Yes agree! Thanks for the comment!
on a beach in the surf no good to start learning ??
You can learn on a beach! Try it when the windspeed is low, it doesn’t take much wind to get the Wave going! Best of luck!
@@upnorthguy 🙂thx
It's called a line not rope... don't ever say rope to a sailor, he will correct you very fast...lol
OK, good to know! Thanks for sharing!
