Did anybody notice the Hobie Eclipse in JLo's Super Bowl / Hard Rock Hotel Commercial?

We had no idea THAT was coming! Big surprise. A very quick frontal view in the broadcast Commercial, but there is a full-length (Online) version with lots of the Eclipse in it. JLo pedals after a thief who stole her bling mug. Uses the Eclipse to catch the thief paddling a SUP in the Hotel pool. The guy says "JLo's fast!". Pedaling in her Stilletto heals!

Fun stuff! Created quite the company buzz last night.

About 50 Seconds in.

My wife and I noticed that and I commented to her on Hobie’s very clever placement advertising. A unique product, modeled by a very well known celebrity, demonstrated as superior in performance to a SUP, and exposed to 100M viewers.

I was surprised from your post to learn this was not the genius of Hobie Marketing but just coincidental. Which means all the benefits of placement advertising without spending a dime!
