The 2013 drive shafts we're notorious for breaking, faulty manufacturing. We broke many here in CR. Since the summer of 2014, Hobie has solved the issues and in fact improved upon quality. I have yet to break a 2014 shaft or for that matter my 2012 set.

Shhh, don't let these guys know any of your mistakes they'll be all over you.

But seriously, no problem, any time. Oddly enough you were not the first or last. I actually pulled a guy and his son back to their jetski in mission bay saturday. They were going way too fast and jerked the steering too hard and got tossed about 30 feet from the ski and then went into a panic while the jetski got quickly pushed further away by the wind. I had them grab the side of the outback and dragged them 100+ feet back to their jetski.(Thank you mirage drive) My favorite part was when the kid thanked me, then Jesus for saving his life

. They were wearing their PFDs so they would have been fine but the kid was really scared. Also caught a monster spotty and a decent calico which really surprised me.

Sorry about that, but wouldn't you rather not spend the money on an upgrade soon down the road? I say wait a little if you have to, and do it right the first time. Saves you money in the long run. As long as you know this sport is for you!
