A few months ago we were approached by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim to produce a custom stand up paddle board. Not just any board, but a board that was going to be presented to Derek Jeter in recognition of his last regular season game in Anaheim. Our team went to work, and conceptualized a board that represented Derek Jeter and the Yankees, but also remained 100% fully functional.
The board is a custom 12’4 Venture (http://www.hobie.com/stand-up-paddleboards/124venture-26-8.aspx) that was hand crafted in our Capistrano Beach, CA factory by our team of skilled craftsmen. The board features Hobie’s Cross Link Construction combined with custom graphics printed on HG Photocloth. The final result was nothing less than amazing and a testament to Hobie’s rich history of innovation, quality, and craftsmanship.
Happy paddling Mr. Jeter, we hope you Have a Hobie Day!
