Anyone have any info on this Hobie? It is 9’0", a pintail model, glassed on fiberglass fin (flexie,crude Greenough style sweeper, poorly foiled. This board has no solid striger only twin gluelines, one red, one blue. The only logo is at the tip of the tail on the deck over the pintail (black foam tailblock). The logo is simply a stylized label in drop shadow lettering “Hobie”,(early 70’s style), no other trademarks other than serial no. It is extremely light for the age of the board and in excellent condition. Serial number is: #36860. (So far no replies to multiple e-mails to Hobie on this.) Thanks to anyone who might have some info on this transition model. tom

People were becoming more performance/maneuver driven and the 1st step in that direction was to cut down on the weight w/ less stringer and a little less glass, volume and length. Of course a few months later everyone started making v-bottoms, mini-guns( in the islands ) and soon after little discs down under. I have a board from almost the same exact time frame as yours, but a Surfboards Hawaii. I doing some restoration on it now and will get a picture up. It’s going to be a good rider, trying to get it ready for Seymour’s Vintage board contest at San 'O in May.
