CONSTRUCTION
With over 60 years of experience in the surfboard and boat building industries, Hobie has established an inate knowledge of what it takes to make
a high quality product and the right combination of materials to do it.
Hobie has continued the tradition with our lineup of stand up paddleboards, utilizing and bringing together proven board and boat building
technologies. From the high performance multi-layer epoxy laminations found in our Elite Race Series, to the highly functional and proven inflation
technology found in our Inflatable Series, Hobie has developed a spectrum of stand up paddleboards to fit almost every paddlers needs.

BCX brings together the natural strength and flexibility of
bamboo sandwiched between multiple layers of fiberglass
compressed into a mold to create a strong and lightweight high
performance outer shell over an EPS core. This lamination
technology places key materials in key areas to produce a high
performance board that is lightweight yet durable. All Fin boxes,
handles and inserts are laminated into the board and seated
into high density PVC Foam for extra strength

ARBON
Hobie’s premier construction, BCX + C brings together the
natural strength and flexibility of a thin veneer of Bamboo
sandwiched between multiple layers of fiberglass compressed
into a mold to create a strong and lightweight high performance
outer shell over an EPS core. The rails are then capped in
Carbon fiber adding extra stiffness and rail strength. This
lamination technology places key materials in key areas to
produce a high performance board that is lightweight yet
durable. All Fin boxes, handles and inserts are laminated into
the board and seated into high density PVC Foam for extra
strength
