Hobie continuing to support discontinued models is rubbish! They allready have low/no inventory on TheMightyHobie18 items such as jibs, traveler parts, etc. Its just a matter of time before the inventory will be totally exhausted on 14,17,18 and now 20 parts.
I don't see Hobie getting the customer following they experienced with glass cats from the roto and kayak owners. IMO its the continuation of Hobies internal struggle to determine who they are and how they fit into todays world. We as Americans are being feed a continual stream of disposable products that we consume in great numbers. Quality and longevity seem to no longer matter. If plastic is what the masses want then thats what they'll get.
