Crews always defines top spots, but even boats helps to get great competitive racing.
Now Hobie crews has a boat to match Infusions performance.
So we´ve definitely entered a full “wave piercing” F18 era, a change of guard over the so called? “container” type like the first F18s, Alado, Tiger and family.
Every builder has a good boat now, the Shockwave performed well , the polish Exploder made a good debut with a 11ht in the raid and a couple of good of top 6 results in course racing.
Don´t know if AHPC is going to deliver a new boat though…

Looks like in your report the Hobies are not really present. Suggest to rewrite the article.
