Hobie 18 Pitchpole

[belleheartsbeauty]

these guys could get WAY more leverage upwind if sailed with their legs together on the trap, i pitchpoled a hobie 16 the other day, and i was completely out on the trap and we still flipped my skipper was all the way out too, legs straight.

[007lbs]

why does everyone who uploads sailing videos have such appaling taste in music?

[bryce65]

@007lbs not my video fagel, learn to read fuck face.

[007lbs]

@bryce65 fuck face yea..... original insult.

btw you uploaded, hence making it your video, and if you didn't make the video why get offended

[BrothersFreedive]

I love watching pitchpoles, the coolest and most dangerous capsize

[Xpapasmurf05X]

look st the bic techno windsurfers!! i have that board

[uberwut]

was this out by bowen?

[shawnferd]

That's why I am a huge fan of mast floats.

[bryce65]

@shawnferd, I'm afraid to say a mast float won't keep you from pitchpoling my friend.

[SpaRroWzim]

Not that difficult :p but it feels great doing this 10 times in a row :p

[V19torrent]

woah whats that thing under your jib?

[bryce65]

This isn't actually my video and i dont actually know the people, but that would be a dodgy snuffer system for the spinnaker.

[superzkid]

@V19torrent kinda like the spinacher pole. its what holds the spinacher.

[MrPetermackin]

@V19torrent thats the spinnaker pole

[DudeArchitect]

0:40 looks like theres a dildo coming out the boat

[mooseoftoose]

bahahha sure does. If only a female whale was near by...

[abnorm58]

nice work. fyi... keep weight back when headed down wind under spin. diff weight distro then upwind when trapped (or not). best with skipper in all the way back .. crew trapped, right behind skip.

[lifecastre]

kite newbies? sheet the spinny out so the front edge is curling in ever so slightly and thtll lift the bow, stops tht happenin ^^

(advanced instructor btw so dont go bitching)

[jgravo19]

just curious.. did you turtle after that.. the video cuts off... last time we pitchpoled we turled with disasterous results...

[YODAKNOWSALL]

Good Video

[Schneebuddy]

Went to the Columbia river near Hood river, been there done that. We had a problem with braking rudder pins on our 18SX ?? never did get that. Had something to do with pushing the boat to hard in the fresh water. We normally sail in the salt water near Port Townsand, WA, like a wind tunnel there.

[iwatchstuffonutube]

that's not a very bad one. nobody got hurt lol.

thats pretty much what happens

[WindRider707]

two words . . .

mast rake

and you dont have to buy another boat for that :)

[bryce65]

yeah again... not my boat, dont even know the people.

just lesson for people...

[butweat]

vancouver harbour?

[bryce65]

yes, this is in vancouver harbour.

[Jbarth13]

Were you trying to pitchpole? Both helm and crew were awfully far forward, and you can see tons of spray coming from the leeward bow.  Why didn't you move back a bit?

[bryce65]

i have no idea... this isnt my video and they were obvioulsy new to teh kite.

[gbr672]

strangely painfully funny =]

[nacra99]

that's why i traded in my Hobie for a Nacra
