Too Much Wind for the Hobie FX1
Raw multicam footage of a Hobie FX1 being pushed hard in heavy wind conditions.
Shot using an onboard multicamera setup, this clip captures the speed, power, and intensity of high-performance catamaran sailing when the breeze is right on the edge of control. With multiple angles, you get a close-up look at the crew, the rig, and the boat working flat out.
No commentary. No explanation.
Just pure FX1 action in too much wind.
