For over 75 years, Hobie has been shaping surfboards with a deep respect for craftsmanship, innovation, and the timeless art of riding waves. The legacy of Hobie Alter continues to guide us today, inspiring us to build boards that uphold the same standards of quality, craftsmanship, and performance that have defined Hobie from the beginning. That tradition continues today with a diverse range of surfboard models, each thoughtfully designed to bring a unique experience to the water.

How Our Boards Are Made
Hobie Surfboards is shaped by two pairs of hands: Gary Larson and Adam Davenport. Together, their decades of experience, knowledge, and expertise go into building the right board for each surfer, their needs, and the conditions they’ll be surfing. Just as importantly, our boards are built right here in Southern California. From lamination to sanding, gloss, and polish, every step is handled by a team of craftsmen with decades of experience in the glass shop.
That attention to detail is what goes into every finished Hobie. From the shape to the final polish, we’re confident you’re going to love the board you take home.
