The HBproto is a new, user friendly daily driver thats been going really well for intermediate to advanced surfers. Although its a “new release," its really been a work in progress over the past couple of years and has become a favorite among the contest kids and “everyday” guys alike.
Its got a relaxed entry rocker and a bit more of a medium tail rocker which is accentuated by a healthy vee off the tail which increases the curve in the rail line, allowing for fuller rail use while maintaining a lot of drive. The HBproto has a bit of a fuller nose, and a wide-point forward outline, with a blended “bump” squash tail, resulting in an easy to ride high performance shortboard that is very versatile and reliable.
It tends to work best in average waist high surf to a couple feel over head.
