Classic Boards and Cars
It's not everyday you get to flash back 50 years. The Hamborg crew got to experience just such a time warp riding our classic longboards around and thru the Huntington Beach Classic Car Show, and it felt like the boards we were riding belonged right there. Hamboards may not have 50 years of existence under its belt but we somehow are throwbacks to that same era. All our boards have a unique blend of modern performance with a retro look and feel, made for classic surf-style skateboard riding.
Hilliary, Marta and their Huntington Hops
A beach parking lot playground in Huntington Beach made up the setting for two new friends & their last Hamboard ride together. One, a California native, & the other, a Barcelona beauty. Salty, sweet & separated by the sea. You can’t spell "unintentional armpit smell" without "stylish cross step" (give or take a couple letters).

Ben Did Go
Having 5 lifeguards in the family we were deeply affected by the tragic death of Newport Beach Lifeguard, Ben Carlson. One city over from ours, at a spot we have body surfer, surfed and skin dived at, Ben lost his life while successfully rescuing a victim. Some Newport community leaders approached us about doing a special Hamboard model for Ben. We were stoked to design the "Ben Board" commemorating Ben Carlson's heroic life. It has the distinctive Red and Yellow of the Newport Lifeguard agency along with the now famous saying in Newport: "Ben Did Go", a nod to other heroic and famous watermen who have passed. We are also proud to commit $30 from each "Ben Board" we sell to the foundation established in his name. Ben Carlson...a great Lifeguard and a great man.
The Huntington Hop
If you haven't heard, the Huntington Hop could very well be the best new cruiser out there.
