Born and bred on the Central Florida coast, twin brothers CJ and Damien Hobgood have spent their lives dominating the world tour and pulling monsters out of the deep sea. They’re just two good ol' boys who live for surfing and fishing—but when it comes to board design, they demand absolute perfection.
The Hobgood Signature Grip is a specialized two-piece hybrid grip built with a slightly wider outline, specifically engineered to maximize traction on boards with wider tail blocks. Featuring a premium welded configuration, it fuses our Corduroy Grip™ on the upper panels for ultimate board feel while also going easier on your knees during summer sessions, transitioning into an aggressive Octo Groove layout on the lower half to lock your foot into place.

The most essential surf accessories include surfboard fins, leashes, traction pads, and wax. These improve performance and safety while surfing.
Yes. Surfboard fins provide stability and control. Without them, surfboards would slide uncontrollably in the water.
Choose a surf leash that is approximately the same length as your surfboard. For example, an 8-foot surfboard pairs best with an 8-foot leash.
Surf wax should be reapplied regularly depending on water temperature and usage, while traction pads typically last for years unless heavily worn.
