At the age of 13 in the early 60's all I ever wanted was a Hobie surfboard but I knew my parents could never afford it. 100 bucks was all the money in the world back then. I found a job delivering newspapers. It took me months to save up for a used Hobie. I went on to cats and kayaks. Most of the outdoor fun I've had in life had something to do with a Hobie product. RIP Hobie Alter.

He is my hero. He found a way to make a comfortable living doing what he loved. Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk |

RIP Hobie! Living in the UK, I found myself in the fortunate and shall we say envied and thus popular position, due to receiving a Hobie skateboard for my birthday back in the 70's. Only kid in the street, oh wait town to have one, but not for long  I am now the proud owner of a H16. Thanks for all the fun times, Sir Hobart "Hobie" Alter. SRG |

Maybe something that looks like salute to him for all he has done for us working stiffs that need a way to blow off steam and remember what FUN is. |

I would be more than happy to purchase a sticker for the boats. I'd say get them made up. Charge 20$ a pop and donate proceeds to a charity of the family's choice. |

The paddle out sticker was done by Hobie Cat just for the Paddle Out. Any additional memorial sticker has to be up to the Hobie family. |

At the age of 12 in the late 60's I got my first surfboard...a 10'6" Hobie. I think it weighed more than I did and I had to borderline drag it across the sand to the water.That board started a string of lifetime memories. Thanks Hobie. Rest in peace. |
