HIHP SPEED THUNDERBOLT CARBON
HIHP SPEED THUNDERBOLT CARBON
This model is all about making a really good all-round performance 9’1. The narrowing of the ends and adjustment of the wide point means there is a greater overall curve allowing you to turn closer in tighter pockets with control. The result is a board that surfs more parallel to the wall when in trim and more comfortable to walk even with the pointier ends. It’s a very similar outline to the board Harley won his first world event on in Anglet 2008. But it utilises the true HP rocker that has proven to be the best all-round rocker to date.

THUNDERBOLT TECHNOLGY
Thunderbolt Technology employs cutting-edge materials and techniques to reduce weight while simultaneously enhancing performance, flexibility, board control, and durability. In stark contrast to mass-produced epoxy boards that tend to feel rigid and unresponsive, Thunderbolt's meticulously handcrafted boards elevate the use of superior epoxy materials to a whole new level. These boards offer the same feel and sensitivity as high-quality polyurethane boards but surpass traditional epoxy pop-out constructions in terms of performance. Riders who have experienced these state-of-the-art epoxy boards often claim that they actually provide a superior experience to polyurethane boards.
Each Thunderbolt board is crafted entirely by hand. The process starts with an EPS foam core equipped with a multi-component carbon fiber stringer system, meticulously engineered to deliver optimal flex and responsiveness. Proprietary designs incorporating internal carbon fiber components are strategically positioned on both the deck and the bottom of the board to ensure precise control over flex and maximize strength.
The core shield PVC layer acts as a flexible protective barrier, bolstering the board's durability and strength without compromising its inherent flex and twist characteristics. Abundant use of carbon fiber and fiberglass in the deck, bottom, and rails ensures that Thunderbolt boards not only outperform but also outlast traditional polyurethane boards and other epoxy designs.
