At Hobie we strive for the best overall strength to weight ratio utilizing our dierent
construction methods to fulfill current SUP demands. Our constructions are designed
to fit a variety of styles of SUP paddling and budgets.

Molding our boards is very important to Hobie as it guarantees that the shapes and
designs are replicas of our master shapes. Each molded design has been paired with
the construction we feel the board is best suited for with our eyes always focused in on
Strength, Weight, Price and most important Performance.

Below is our S-W-PR scale that will help you find the board and construction that best
meets your needs. All of our boards are very strong and light— most are not over 30
lbs. All fin boxes, handles, hold downs and leash plugs are installed into high density
foam for extra strength in all of our molded boards. In all SUP manufacturing there are
big variations of strength, weight, price and performance.
