Presented by Connor Eck Films and Hobie Surf Shops & Surfboards… welcome to Business As Usual: Celebrating 75 Years.

This isn’t just another surf flick—it’s a celebration of where we’ve been, where we’re headed, and the crew carrying the torch. From familiar local breaks to adventures south of the border, this film honors the roots that built Hobie.

Featuring Mason Klink, Ian Gottron, Bucky Barry, Rilynn Baker, Kai Esposito, and Tyler Savage. Keep your eyes peeled for a few surprise guests along the way.

For 75 years, Hobie Surfboards has balanced tradition and progression—crafting boards that stand the test of time. This year’s lineup showcases shapes by Adam Davenport and Gary Larson, designed, tested, and trusted by our team.

We’re proud to share this slice of Hobie history with you. Thanks for riding along—we’ll see you next year for the next chapter.
