Some Great Hobie Footage...

I posted this under "new flying cat poster candidate" a few weeks back

Sorry, didn't see it... Cool videos though, huh?

I wish the nissan guys would have take videos.

I want to see the closing velocity of those waves

Ther are two film's of it.

If anyone has links to Hobie Videos, post them here!
My apologies if anyone's already posted this but the Series 2 Clips have short but amazing footage of flying Hobies... Enjoy

There is a video of the Hobie Nissan team in the waves here (WMV, 3.28MB, 0:52). They're calling it "Free Sailing". Unfortunately, for two thirds of the video, the boat is on its side.

Cool, I found a much better video (WMV, 2.1MB, 0:32). Looks like fun.

Which leaves the sensational best (DIVX, 36.0MB, 5:38) until last. I wonder how many surfers they took out?

Thanks!

them waves were movin.

There is another video on that server from a 500 mile endurance race in France. Some great highspeed closeup footage with a nasty cartwheel at 05:45.
