That sounds terrifying! I'll bet you got the bad juju off your boat the first time out! You'll probably slay em the next time out. Is the hole repairable? Good luck!

You were indeed lucky. It could have been much worse. In case you missed this epic story from earlier this year, check out this link.

Bigbarrels, if you are reading this, how about a post telling us how everything turned out with regard to repairing or replacing your kayak.

It is a littler biggler than a hair line crack about 1/2" long. OEX said they should be able to repair it at 20 bucks an hour and should take less than an hour?

OEX did recommend getting away from scupper mounted wheels for the Hobie. They said this happens all of the time some be careful with the wheels when pulling your yak!

Thanks

Good job on figuring it out before it was too late. Yours is the 3rd Hobie scupper failure I've heard of in the past 2 weeks.
