When our current reality is filled with self-isolation, conference calls, and video chats instead of in-person meetings and interactions, we need to find ways to bring some fun back into our daily lives. Because let’s face it, who of us isn’t daydreaming of long days on the water and counting down the minutes until we can be out there again.

Since we can’t take our Hobies sailing, kayaking, fishing, surfing or paddling at the moment, we have got to get a little creative and bring the water to us.

That’s why we’ve selected some of our favorite photos to help you show your Hobie pride on your next work call or virtual get together with our custom Hobie Zoom backgrounds. Click the Download Here link under the image you’d like to use, right click to "Save Image As" onto your computer, and then simply use the steps below to upload in to Zoom.
