{"title":"Hobie Surfboards","description":"Hobie Alter is one of the essential shapers in the history of surfing: Visionary and revolutionary at the same time, Hobie began shaping balsa boards in the early 1950s in his father's garage in Laguna Beach, initially for him and his friends for more and more customers. 100 boards later, Hobie moved his workshop to Dana Point, California and began to become known for his shapes and his professionalism. In 1958 Hobie and his friend Gordon Clark (who created Clark Foam™) managed to shape their first board models in fiber, resin and polyurethane (PU), definitively revolutionizing surfboard manufacturing and the surfing industry. Their invention still marks the history of surfing today since the majority of surfboards around the world are made with the same process! Legendary surfers have ridden Hobie's boards, including Phil Edwards, Joey Cabell, Corky Carroll, Mickey Munoz, Mike Hynson, Dick Brewer, Terry Martin, Herbie Fletcher, and Joyce Hoffman, among others.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDied in 2014, Hobie Alter leaves behind a rich history, a very important \"surfing heritage\", having innovated like no other and having enabled the development and growth of \"modern\" surfing and surf business in California and the rest of the world. world. Today the Hobie™ brand as well as the 3 Hobie surf shops in California continue to perpetuate this heritage and the Hobie™ brand entrusts the shaping of its board models to a few talented shapers who produce superb boards in limited quantities, shaped and glassed in California, using the legendary outlines and templates of Hobie™ boards","products":[{"product_id":"hobie-master-of-water-wind-and-waves-livre-surf-by-paul-holmes","title":"Hobie Master of Water, Wind And Waves - Surf Book (By Paul Holmes)","description":"\u003cdiv align=\"justify\"\u003eThis \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003ebook by\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003ePaul Homes\u003c\/span\u003e : \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\"Hobie Master of Water, Wind And Waves\"\u003c\/span\u003e traces the story of a man, Hobie, known throughout the world just by one name, and whose life was a succession of epic events: \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eHobie Alter\u003c\/span\u003e 's dream was born in 1950 in his parents' garage, when he combined \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003ehis love of woodworking and surfing\u003c\/span\u003e .

The former perfected the craft and art of surfboard shaping (and, later, catamaran design); the latter mastered the craft and art of selling the products that came to define the surfing lifestyle. What started with a few surfboards for a few hardy riders gradually evolved, thanks to the perceptiveness, creativity, and hard work of Metz and his beach-loving compadres, into a retail brand that defines beach culture today. In \"Lifestyle Retail,\" Joe Dunn tells the Hobie Surf Shop story, from those first fledgling board shops in Dana Point and Honolulu to the stores today that showcase the swimwear, sportswear, boards, ocean-sports gear, and accessories that exemplify a life well lived, surfer-style. With a foreword by The Surfer's Journal editor Steve Pezman and extensive photography from the archives of the Surfing Heritage \u0026amp; Culture Center, it's an inspiring account of how Dick Metz and a cadre of beach bums built a thriving business around the stoke of the surf lifestyle. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAuthorsJoseph C.
