I think we have seen that vid before, but it is definitely worth a second look. Great! Getting back to the purpose of this thread, I've had a slight change of heart. I certainly think that Hobie should modify the bow of their AIs (& TIs) to better deflect waves. Also, a properly modified bow could reduce diving and cutting through waves--that deficiency was my main complaint several years ago. Of course, Hobie could also modify the amas to reduce cutting/diving. With the advent (construction) of my expedition hakas (http://www.hobiecat.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=7276&start=240) and re-distribution of weight, which had been in the hull, out to my hakas, diving and wave-cutting has been greatly reduced. When I'm camping, it has not been much of a problem since I started using hakas. Keith |

Matt, your exploits (and brilliant videos of them) are absolutely stunning! It is absolutely clear that the "snout" on your AI does exactly what it is designed for. Thanks |

+1 Nice! I love to see a simple, unmodified AI doing fun things. I am curious if the new, 2015 AI will not require a wave deflector? Keith |
