Through the social and racing activities of Hobie fleets, members have an opportunity to participate in activities designed to enhance the quality of their recreational time.

A Brief History

Hobie Cat Image (Click to enlarge)

Everything started by a dream with a drawing in the sand. One day, in 1968, Hobart (" Hobie ") Alter, from Capristano Beach, Southern California, famous for his revolutionary surfboard design and production, created what was to become the first mass produced beach catamaran in the world.

He used asymmetrical hulls : the Hobie Cat 14 was born.
