HatchBack

 

 ________________________________________________________________

 

The Hatchback is an ultra modern sub-shortboard designed to be ridden in all types of waves from 1-5 foot.  It turns even the nastiest conditions into a small wave playground, generating speed on its own, requiring minimal user interaction.   

It has a fuller, straighter outline with the wide point forward and a soft wing, which dramatically reduces tail width just behind your back foot, allowing it to be loose and responsive.

Channel Option
The hatchbacks loose tail design can be offset by adding single channel, which will give the board more control and drive, allowing the rider to “dig in,” making it much more grippy and versatile for bigger waves as well.
