![]() Now the math... The Danuu cover, $219.00 for 18 months use. The KOTAP tarp, $24.00 for predicted 36 month use. If all works well, I could have new covers every 2-3 years for the rest of my life and still not equal the price of the inferior Danuu cover. Buyer Beware ! I could not believe that Hobie appears to be offering a TI cover in the accessory catalogue manufactured by Danuu. Hope this helps some avoid the mistake I made with the purchase. I love my Tandem Island and hope the new cover protects it properly so that I get many years of use. Hobie has always been my choice for durability and quality manufacturing. |

Experiences with covers vary. Especially when considering extreme UV and possibly the constant movement caused by winds in unprotected storage 24-7. We have had very good response to the Danuu brand covers for many years now. Note: the AI and TI custom covers we have are not their standard material, but are a heavier cloth. The custom fit helps reduce the wear caused by wind movement "flutter" of the material that can also help break materials down. |

UPDATE - Danuu did respond to the issue. They replaced the Stumpy Cover with a new one. They also advised me that the product they provide to Hobie is at least twice the weight with added durability. I am going to cover the new cover with a protective tarp during the hottest summer months to try to get added life out of it. Once this one deteriorates, I'll move onto the better Hobie cover. |

I have a similar experience here in Vermont where I only use the boat cover for 5 months a year ![]() |
