Very sad to hear of the passing of Hobie yesterday. Hobie was a big supporter of WSA and sponsored us for several years during our turn-around in 2006 – 2009. He was a pioneer in so many aspects of how we play in the ocean, it is unbelievable. He was a talented surfer and the epitome of style. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
