hobie itrek 9 and 11

does anyone know when these boats will be available?

This thread should be moved to the inflatables section. And it probably will, leaving my comment as a puzzler.

Anyway the 9 seems to be sporadically available now and the 11 next year. Technically the next model year starts in the next couple days, but probably ask your dealer.

Assuming iTrek 11 made in China, maybe some factories and their power plants will shutdown for Beijing Olympics.

They did this back in 2008 olympics to reduce air pollution, and I heard shutdowns may be expected November into February. I thought most Chinese factories were well to the south, but I guess even CA forest fires have carried haze about a thousand miles to the northeast in upper winds.

This dealer has a few itreks in inventory...
