Been a rough year. I would guess that other dealers ordered earlier. That is the only logic I can see.
BTW... we sold out our entire production through June in Minutes.

I'm Happy that during a difficult time an American company (Hobie) is having great success. Mat I'm wondering if Hobie has given thought to building another factory somewhere in the US to keep up with demand? Sounds like everyone in the company is focused on getting products out! And that Hobie can't really deal with anything else. Like R&D for upgrading current products or developing new ones. And if Hobie does not have every single person in the company out on the factory floor putting products out, they should! Now I find out I'm being asked to wait a YEAR for a Kayak that I've supposedly bought and put money into already. I've called the factory and spoke to people who are great but sound tired over the phone, I would suggest Hobie look into building another facility and hire people (now that so many are out of work) and fulfill orders so as not to lose all your customers? Sorry but I have decided not to wait. I'm going to pick up the money that I paid for a Compass from the dealer and going to purchase another product from a competitor. I'll be back on the water this weekend. Hopefully Hobie figures it out before all your customers just move on like me!
