- A freak wave broke my Hobie Tandem Island in two places! I fixed it all on the water, had some epic sailing and caught my biggest Tuna yet!

Top effort!
Amazing what the Islands can put up with.
You broke the boat, fixed it AND came home with dinner.
Epic outing.
I’ve yet to take the rod out on mine, but already broke the rudder pin once, learnt to keep a spare after that.
Ain’t no fun steering with the paddle.
Hobies actually come with spares inside the lid of the rear 8" hatch. The hatches actually have a notch for them under there for that reason.
Great recovery mate, wiped out by a wave then falling off, and still caught the fish, what a legend👏👏
Thanks Paul! It's all part of the fun 🤣
With some years of boating, I strongly recommend ALWAYS head bow into your wave as the safest way to punch through with bar crossings great lesson for all of us thanks for showing what happened and recognising that it could have been a much worse outcome. Happy days and a bad day fishing beat a superb day at work!
100% agree. I thought that I was clear of the wave zone.. just thankful that the kayak stood up to the beating and I was able to turn and punch through the 2nd wave!
The sailing and fishing afterwards made up for the drama!
@@hooked_on_adventure The same nearly happened to me on Fitto out behind cook island back in the 90s my butt still tightens when I remember it lol
@@hooked_on_adventure The same happened to me in the way out, I wasn't prepared to the surf yet, and that sudden wave wipe me out, lost lots of gear, my kayak rolled on the second wave too, at least I didn't lost my catch. Shit happens, no one is shit proof, and always can be worse. When you've stepped on the water, could possibly had lost your kayak.... oh man, great video, just reality.
Awesome adventure! Thanks for letting me live it vicariously. Great determination to soldier onward to haul in your reward!
Thanks for coming along! I love sharing the experience on here. Turning back didn't even cross my mind!
How gnarly was that!! Great job with the on-the-water repairs!🎣😃
Thanks! Yeah it's a clever design and easy to fix on the water.
Good thing you wore water proof clothes 😀 great catch
Whatever it was that you were talking about when you said “Don’t drop that, Nathan”, I’d add 2 of those to the kit :D
Extreme fishing, you were real lucky with that wave. But you are well prepared well done.
Thanks Tim! Yeah definitely got lucky there. It could have ended badly! Always be prepared!
Aussies are tough! I' ll be there in my next life. Lovely people.
WTF! Seriously, you're a certified Bad Ass and have the video to prove it. Excellent recovery. Calm, cool, work the problem. Great lessons.
Cheers mate! Yeah I expect things to go wrong out at sea.. you have to try to be prepared for every scenario and just fix it and keep going. Its all part of the adventure!
Great video mate, laughed, amazed, scared and learned, Nice Catch. 😁😂😉🤣😅
haha! it was a rollercoaster of emotions that day! thanks for watching!
Real hobie adventure! Something to tell your grandkids when you’re a granddad!
Thanks! The future grand kids can watch the video! I've never considered that before... that's cool 😁
I knew you’d fall into the water… good thing you landed the fish!
Epic vid Nath!!! Looks darn cold!!! That wave on the head would have sure woken you up! Tuna for weeks...great fish!!!
haha yeah I was all relaxed until that happened.. so happy that the Long Tail showed up.
Very lucky. Good effort on the repairs on water. Prepared and ready! Working on the stern is tough work, I'd have dropped something, surely! One of those days where you think things just aren't going right but you battle on and get rewarded. Beast of a fish!
Cheers mate! Yeah you have to expect for things to go wrong.. it could have ended really badly! So stoked with the end result though!
Great vid, I just bought a tandem adventure island and now know to keep spare parts and other equipment at the the handy!
Wow what a vid you had me scared and laughing all at the same time😂. Great job in the end looks like a lot of work but loads of fun. Nice fish Nate!
Haha I was really scared for a second there! It's all part of the fun though. It's addictive hey, can't wait for the next trip! (Going to Adder Rock on North Straddie for 2 nights this week! )
You gotta love those Hobie TIs. They take a lot of abuse and keep on going looking for more.
Yeah I keep pushing it further and further... loads of fun!
Wow that was pretty hectic man good save 👌
Cheers Jim! Nice to hear that reel scream in the winter months aswell 😁🐟
Great adventures there matey - best vid yet! And what a great way to test how waterproof your pants really are!
Thanks heaps Owen! The pants were dry through the wave, but not when I fell in fighting the fish 🤣 had soggy socks at the end!
Here's an idea, let the sail fight the fish. Point down wind on a reach and bring in the sail but leave enough out to keep the fish behind the boat, you'll likely need to make some adjustments. It's a little awkward to fight a fish behind you but it works well to tire out that big fish. You'll need to rig a way to steer with your feet but that's not very hard to do.
What a hectic session mate!! Haha insane!! Well done on the longy!!
Thanks mate 😄 it all went so wrong, but then so right at the end!
@@hooked_on_adventure haha 💯 that bar is scary ay! I’ve been caught in that situation before in my old plastic! Scary!!
Crazy bro! Held it together well 💪
Amazing....I’m hoping to get a Hobie soon
Thanks
Good job bringing home the 🐟. Also get ya some clear silicone grease ( like plumbers use on faucet washers ). Put it on the white bead bearings and the pin your mast sits on. You won't believe how easy you can reef the sail . The beads will last alot longer too.
man i needed to see this...!!!!
Close call on that wave mate but great effort on the repairs mate , I carry quite a few spare parts now for my hobie including a small can of lanolin spray which would help with sounder terminal , great to see you still get out that to that hectic starts s got a good laugh when you fell off ha ha 🤙
Haha cheers mate, walking on the tramps is hard even when your not fighting a fish! I'm thinking of building some hakas like what you have...
Lanolin spray is great idea. Thanks!
Good job 👍
awesome video
Thanks!
lucky you stayed dry with them new pants mate!
I was dry until I fell in! My socks were abit wet after going fully under 🤣
Nice one mate I've been sailing AI's since 2007 I'm on my third AI I've had some great times on them. I haven't been out for a while I need too..
Hey mate, love your vids and just got my own TI.... was wondering what camera you use, settings for lighting etc?
Thanks mate! Appreciate the support 😁
Crazy adventure!
Could have been muuuuuuch worse for sure there mate- glad you came out alright!
Cheers Owen! It could have gone really pear shaped really fast for a minute there... all part of the fun though!
I'm heading to Adder Rock this week for 2 nights, hopefully find a wahoo!
@@hooked_on_adventure good luck over there mate! Should be in with a good shot
Great video!!! I have a 2011 AI and don't see the lanyard for the arm. I noticed yours was in the water but leashes to the TI? How's that leash strap on?
What a cluster of a trip!
At least it ended well 🤣
@@hooked_on_adventure true. But when I saw you go for a dip I was like “f that. Wrap it up kids we heading home”
Phew!….. all in a day’s work.
That could have ended badly so quickly so early. Stepping off the AI mid fight was a funny scene. What waterproof pants did you get please. Looking for some myself. Maybe a video of what you wear and kayak setup for us novices TIA
Hi Russell, it was a comedy of errors, but all came together in the end! You're right though, it could have gone the other way if that wave had tipped me over.. scary stuff.
Check this link for the waterproof gear

I am planning on doing a setup and gear video, so stay tuned.
Plus one on the rigging and setup vid. I just replaced my old TI with a new one and am rigging for fishing in the SF Bay. Great recovery! I have put off righting a TI for a while, perhaps I should practice.
epic indeed
Was worth it. What wet gear are you wearing ?
was that one of those rogue waves Ive heard about
what do you do if you overturn the islam tandem and you are alone? Is it easy to turn in water with a mast?
Should be two spare aka support bar pins already (one in each) in the support bars.
Yeah you are right! I had already used the one in the bar that broke and in the video, you see me check the opposite bar for one. There was one there, but I decided to use the one of of my spare parts bag.
Don't you just hate those freak waves.
Scary stuff. Could have been sooo much worse!
Should sit on Kayak and control , not running around kayak , to dangerous!
