The Philippine Hobie Challenge is the Philippines’ premier extreme sailing event. The 2009 event will be the 10th Philippine Hobie Challenge. Every year since 1999 the Philippine Hobie Challenge has taken a fleet of Hobie 16 catamarans on a roller-coaster ride, usually island-hopping through some of the lesser know Philippine islands and to some of the most beautiful beaches in the Philippines. The event is so extreme and so popular that the number of Hobie catamarans racing in each Hobie Challenge is limited and the competitors must demonstrate their competency, to ensure that safety at sea can be assured and sufficient support boats can be on-hand in the event of breakages
