M32 & Wakeboarding
Photo: Marco Oquendo/Marstrom Composites
After seeing this pic of the M32 at Miami , I remembered the wakeboarding good old days, when I was young!
With my cousin Nadal Solari we were among the first wakeboarders in Argentina, and of course you can guess who built the first Arg made board? We have several “first” within the family, like Nadal’s father building the 1st Arg surfboard circa 1961 and of course the F18 project.
Below: I think that is circa 1996, and I ended on my back… not a chance I can stand that abuse now.
Wooden deep channels ‘Keltic’ board (brand I used to sell them, the logo was a Viking axe) I made on cedar plywood and painted with epoxy of course.
For a nice M32 poster next time they need the wakeboarder to do an AirRaley, I can do it.. just have an ambulance ready near by…
I just heard that my great sailing friend and former CEO of Hobiecat Europe has passed. May The endless oceans…
...Report was sent by an F18 Sailor, if you want Hobies reported send your own, we'll publish as usual. Cheers.
Looks like in your report the Hobies are not really present. Suggest to rewrite the article.
Thanks for the great report Wik. Great battle.
If I correctly read the results the overall winner this year is a Hobie16
