GLOBE SIGNS MAJOR INTERNATIONAL SURFING
SPONSORSHIP DEAL
Surfing champions, C.J. and Damien Hobgood to be sponsored by
Globe apparel, footwear and accessories.
Action board sports and apparel company Globe International announced today that it
had entered a multi-year sponsorship arrangement with the 2001 world surfing champion,
C.J. Hobgood and his twin brother, world championship event winner, Damien.
In announcing the sponsorship, the CEO of Globe, Matt Hill said that the Hobgood twins
were two of the best and most recognizable professional surfers in the world today and
between them had won three World Championship Tour (WCT) events in 2004.
“The Hobgood brothers represent everything that Globe stands for in surfing today and
this sponsorship follows comments last year that we would be signing a number of high
profile surf and skateboarding athletes to our teams over the next six months,” said Matt
Hill.
As two of the most innovative and talented surfers today, both C.J. and Damien Hobgood
have risen to the top of the World Championship Tour rankings, leading to numerous tour
victories. In 2001 C.J. was crowned the WCT World Championship and in 2004, the
Hobgoods won back to back WCT events with C.J. winning the Billabong Pro-Teahupoo
in Tahiti and the 2004 Tehara Pro-Japan, while Damien dominated the 2004 Quiksilver
Pro-Tavarua/Namotu in Fiji.
Matt Hill said, “With this sponsorship of the Hobgoods, our support of junior pro-surfing
in Australia, and with Globe’s first WCT event coming up in Fiji in May this year, we are
continuing our strong commitment to surfing. Our surf apparel marketing will
be supported strongly by the Hobgoods, and as a result, I have no doubt that we will see
continuous growth in this sector of our business for many years.”
