Ah yes, the historic occasion when #Hobie became the #Shakespeare of #surfboards, crafting a wave-riding masterpiece for ol' #Tricky #Dick himself.

The Day Hobie Made Nixon a Surfboard

Several answers…

Raccoons are mostly on the beach sites. Never seen them on/near chickees. They are after both food and fresh water.

Wildlife researchers say 90+% of the small mammals in the #Everglades are gone due to the #pythons! I don’t think this applies to the beach raccoons tho.

Lane Bay is a great place to camp!

Just to be clear: #Hobie still sells the “Revolution 13” #kayak model. Drive is much improved. I recommend anyone who is considering buying one to “downgrade” to the standard drive (does not have reverse). The reversible drive costs more, adds little value, and has many small moving parts that are impossible to maintain in the field.

These sails are specifically designed to fit the peddle #kayaks made by #Hobie.

Unfortunately they discontinued the longer (16ft) version. Mine is vintage 2010 and is a great little sailboat when the wind is up.

The peddle system becomes the "center board" when #sailing so these boats can actually sail upwind!

This is great for just messing about, but on an actual trip the peddle system is so efficient you nix the sail and head directly upwind (rather than tacking with the sail). They excel with wind from the side or behind. They are very efficient tacking downwind with controlled jibes.

I'm happy to answer other questions...

Last miniature painted in 2024, and of course, it's Hobie Brown AKA Spider-Punk! Had an absolute blast painting him up. Really enjoyed free hand painting the stickers on the amp and the Anarchy symbol on his jacket. More Spider People incoming!
