Looking Back: Seea X Hobie Summer Night Market

The Hobie x Seea Summer Night Market was one for the books. On Saturday, July 26, Hobie Surf Shop Dana Point came alive with golden hour light, good tunes, and an amazing community vibe.

Guests hung out to the sounds of Jetplane Jayne, watched live board shaping by Gary Larson, and browsed a curated lineup of local vendors. Rasta Taco served up the perfect bites, JuneShine kept everyone cool, and the evening wrapped with an epic raffle featuring a Rilynn Baker surfboard. It was the kind of summer night that reminds you why we love this coastal lifestyle so much.

The heart of the Summer Night Market was its incredible lineup of makers—each one bringing their own spark to the evening. From handcrafted goods and art to thoughtfully curated pieces and beachy essentials, every vendor was chosen with care to reflect the creative, coastal spirit of Hobie and Seea. These small businesses are what made the event feel so special—local, passionate, and full of personality. Whether you were discovering a new favorite brand or catching up with familiar faces, the market was all about community and connection.

We’re so grateful to everyone who came out and made the night so special. From the makers and musicians to every friendly face who stopped by, the Hobie x Seea Summer Night Market was a beautiful reminder of the magic that happens when community comes together. Until next time—see you in the shop, in the lineup, or at the next sunset gathering.

Revisiting Hobie Film Night: “Since 1950”

Our third annual Hobie Team Film Night at Dana Point brought the community together to celebrate surf, story, and 75 years of Hobie. “Since 1950” spotlighted the riders who carry our legacy forward — including Ian Gottron, Rilynn Baker, Bucky Barry, Mason Klink and more. The night was filled with energy, live music by Dano Forte, amazing food, and giveaways from our friends at Katin and True Ames. Huge thanks to everyone who came out and made the evening unforgettable.

We’re still buzzing from an incredible night at Hobie Surf Shop Dana Point for the premiere of “Since 1950: Celebrating 75 Years.” The film honored Hobie’s deep surf roots and the current team riders pushing that legacy forward.

With the help of our friends at Katin and True Ames, guests enjoyed exclusive gear drops, live music, a special fin release — and even walked away with raffle prizes (including a Hobie board!). Thanks for showing up and keeping the stoke alive.

Since 1950 wasn’t just a film — it was a tribute to the people who make Hobie what it is. We loved seeing so many familiar faces at Dana Point for our third annual film night. From the limited Gato-Son trunk drop by Katin to the live tunes, raffle wins, and community vibes, it was a celebration to remember. Big thanks to everyone who helped make it happen — see you later!

A Night to Remember: Quiksilver x Pacifico Launch at Hobie Dana Point

We’re still buzzing from an unforgettable evening at Hobie Surf Shop Dana Point, where we celebrated the highly anticipated launch of the Quiksilver x Pacifico collection and film. The shop came alive with good vibes, great people, and a true sense of community. From the sound of live music echoing through the space to the scent of fresh tacos filling the air, the evening was a full sensory celebration of surf culture and coastal lifestyle. With a steady flow of friends, customers, and new faces, it was a night to remember.

Throughout the night, guests enjoyed a variety of special moments — including a chance to win a limited edition Quiksilver x Pacifico surfboard shaped by Almond Surfboards. The giveaways kept the energy high, and the exclusive screening of Quiksilver’s new surf film, “WASHED,” capped off the evening perfectly.

This event was more than just a fun party — it marked another chapter in a long-standing relationship between Hobie and Quiksilver. Our history together stretches back to the early days of Hobie retail stores, where Quiksilver first became a staple on our shelves. For decades, we’ve shared the same passion for quality gear, innovation, and honoring the roots of surf. This partnership has always been about more than product — it’s about a shared vision and a deep love for the ocean and the culture that surrounds it.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out and made the night what it was. Events like these remind us why we do what we do — building community, celebrating surf heritage, and sharing good times. We’re grateful to be part of this ongoing journey with Quiksilver and all of you. Stay tuned for more to come, and until then, we’ll see you in the lineup.

Thanks again, and stay in the loop for more updates and info!
