Inside Hobie Wave Racing w/ Jackson & Rod | NSW Wave Grand Prix Championships

Have you ever wondered what goes through a sailors mind before, during and after a race? Thanks to @HobieAsiaPacific & @GoPro we'll show you!

Jump on board for the NSW Hobie Wave Grand Prix Championships, broadcasted exclusively on Totally Immersed TV. As a whole new take on small boat racing, WaveGP offers athletes the opportunity to compete on the world's simplest catamaran around a tight race track featuring windward & leeward gates, and a screaming reach for a start and a finish - just like the flying F50s in the Sail Grand Prix.

Jump on board with regatta winners Jackson Bolewski, and his poppy Hot Rod Waterhouse, as they fly around the race track in the first heat of the series. Jackson, with Hobie sailing in his heritage, was competing in the Junior Division alongside a bunch of local, Jervis Bay young guns; and, it happened to be his first ever State Championships!

The NSW WaveGP Championships at the Vincentia Sailing Club was the most diverse and inclusive catamaran regatta to date. With huge numbers of women, youth, novices and not so young sailors in the fleet, everyone was in the same boat (literally), as sailors raced the one-design Hobie Wave, swapping onto a new boat every race.

MORE TO COME!!

Tune in to TITV and watch the action at the usual time, Thursday 1900hrs AEST.

What are the deciding factors that influence a sailor's decision making? What's their approach to the starting sequence? And how long should one stay out on wire going around the top-mark?

Totally Immersed TV is taking you onto the boat with the sailor(s), where you get to experience their every move during the race. Experience Hobie Sailing at its best from the perspective of Australia's greatest catamaran sailor(s).
