The Hobie Legacy fin is the embodiment of not only an era but also of surf style stamped in time - classic, timeless, functional, and all about the glide. The Legacy template has a generous amount of base width and also has a large swept-back profile with a solid amount of rake. You can expect these design facets to translate to lots of tip-time, a steady and reliable feeling, and long drawn out arcing or drop-knee type turnability. Full body, full foil, and pronounced rake Designed for traditional style boards and surfing Solid fiberglass construction, gloss finish
Fin Construction: Solid Fiberglass
Designer Info

Collapsible tab content

Designer Name: Hobart Laidlaw "Hobie" Alter
Designer Origin: Ontario, California; Laguna Beach/Dana Point, California
Designer Bio: Alter's design legacy is less about a single signature fin and more about building the modern platform fins evolved on: he helped drive the shift to lighter, faster, more responsive foam-and-fiberglass boards and scaled surfboard production. In 1958, working with Gordon "Grubby" Clark, Alter pioneered polyurethane foam blanks and fiberglass construction.
