History

Designed by Morrelli and Melvin in 1994 as a rugged, low maintenance beach cat for resorts and rental fleets, the Wave has become one of Hobie's most popular boats through sheer toughness and simplicity.

Sailing Characteristics

Rotomoulded polyethylene hulls and a single fully battened mainsail make it close to indestructible. Stable, easy to right after a capsize, and forgiving for a family crew.

Racing Context

Its own Formula Wave class allows non-Hobie sails and has grown into a genuine grassroots racing scene, alongside its life as a resort and recreational boat.
