Thunderbolt Harley Ingleby HIHP (Full Carbon)

Description

This is the performance longboard that Harley Ingleby rode when he won his first ASP World Longboard Title in 2009.
The HIHP shaped by Billy Tolhurst is a true high-performance longboard with continual curve rocker that enables direction adjustments form anywhere on the
board.
The HIHP is designed flat under the nose for superior planing tight in the curl.
A slightly convex bottom through the middle helps keep the rails nice and free for quick rail-to-rail transitions.
A spiral V with double concaves and a flat tail area behind the fins allows powerful turning in all surf sizes.
Normally ridden as a thruster, the addition of a quad fin box set-up improves handling in big surf where longer turns at speed are preferred.

FINS: In all regular conditions we recommend the FCS Harley XL tri set.
In larger open faces or hollow surf, we suggest the FCS Harley XL quad set.
Customers that like the extra speed may also like the quad set on small days.

Technologies

Thunderbolt Technology utilizes advanced materials and technology to decrease weight while enhancing performance, flex characteristics, board control, and durability. Mass-produced epoxy boards are corky and stiff. While light and durable, they simply don’t ride well. But Thunderbolt’s hand-built boards take superior epoxy materials to an entirely different level. These boards provide the feel and sensitivity of a good poly board, but deliver performance far beyond traditional epoxy pop-out constructions. Indeed, those who ride these high-tech epoxy boards claim they actually feel better than polyurethane.

Thunderbolt boards are 100% hand layups. They begin with an EPS foam core with multi-component carbon fiber stringer systems that produce engineered flex and twist for a more lively, responsive performance. Proprietary designs employing internal carbon fiber components are then arrayed in the deck and bottom of the deck for precise flex control and strength.

The core shield PVC provides flexible protection to increase strength and durability without compromising the flex and twist characteristics built into the blank. With ample carbon fiber and fiberglass in the deck, bottom, and rails, these boards both outperform and outlast traditional PU boards and other epoxy designs.
