HI guys does anyone have any reliable information on when the first ones will arrive in Australia? the wait is killing me. But on the other hand, the older/ current model is 750 bucks cheaper and more importantly available now..

The newer model might be an even greater boat, I hated the seat on the old model

we advised all Australian dealers that the 2015 AI could arrive either mid-late Dec to early Jan. Just stay in touch with your local Hobie dealer as we update them each month.

Is that waiting a bit like my "do I wait" situation.
iPhone 4 with a waterproof cover.
Standing in the water attaching the outboard to the TI and remembered the
phone was in the pocket and not in the cover.
That was a week ago and it appears to non repairable.
So do I buy a splash proof Galaxy S5 and new apps like Navionics.
Or do I wait for an iPhone 6 with the larger screen and hope Navionics support
the screen. Probably should be OK as I think the resolution is similar.

Anyway, good luck with waiting until December or January.
Of course that assumes Australian customs don't hold things up.
