I want to try a Hobie - maybe a Hobie 16 or Wave - before I buy one.

Does anyone know of a place in the midwest where they can be rented?

Thanks,
Ron

Come to Iowa and you can try one for free.

Ron,

Chris is right, any fleet will give you all the info and rides you need

go here http://www.hcana.hobieclass.com/

third from the left pull down menu is "contacts"

select "Fleet Listings" and contact the one closest to you

Then let us know what happens :D

That sounds good - I will contact someone when I am ready to go up there (I leave near St. Louis so Iowa is not too far)....

Also, I read somewhere there is a Hobie 16 competition up there? Midwest Nationals?

Thanks...

Sorry there's no racing information on this website (and my apologies for posting a link to the evil class assoication...please don't ban me!)

Notice there's a St. Louis fleet listed, also one in Illinois.

If you have a chance to get to the Kansas City area, Fleet 297 sails at Clinton Lake near Lawrence (you know, home of the reigning NCAA basketball champions).

We'll get you a ride on a Hobie :wink:
