Hobie says farewell to Chuck Patterson from its team of renowned water athletes. Chuck joined the Hobie team in 2005 and was an integral member in Hobie’s emergence into the ever-evolving stand up paddleboard market.

Chuck brought with him a long illustrious sports resume and a magnetic personality that will be hard if not impossible to ever replace. We might not miss all the custom boards we had to build for Chuck but we will certainly miss Chuck as one of our most respected Team members. From all of us at Hobie we wish him the best in his new career endeavors.

Cheers Chuck

Team Hobie
