Glenn Pang’s Secret: Why the T&C Bullit Will Save Your Sessions
Do you love the manoeuvrability of a shortboard but are fed up with struggling to paddle out? The Bullit from Town & Country (T&C Surf Designs) is the answer to your prayers. Designed by legendary Hawaiian shaper Glenn Pang, this hybrid board is shaking up the mid-length genre.
Here’s the full rundown on this true ‘wave magnet’.
⚡ 1. The Shape: The Comfort of a Longboard, the Agility of a Shortboard
The Bullit makes no compromises. Its magic formula lies in a perfect balance:
- Generous volume: A width and thickness designed for effortless float.
- Ultra-fast paddling: You’ll catch the wave well before everyone else.
- Engineered hull: A gentle double concave that tapers into a V-shape at the tail.
- Lightning-fast transition: Moving from rail to rail is fluid and instinctive.
🌊 2. Conditions: The undisputed queen of soft waves (and more!)
Don’t let small conditions spoil your weekend any longer:
- Ideal for summer: It excels in small and soft waves.
- Total versatility: It also performs well when the swell picks up thanks to its precise shape.
- Target audience: Perfect for intermediate to advanced surfers who want to maximise their wave count.
🛠️ 3. Bespoke: Customise the Board of Your Dreams
The Bullit adapts to your riding style thanks to its numerous options:
- Two tail types: Choose between a Squash tail (more responsive) or a Round tail (smoother turns).
- Choice of fin configuration: Available as a Thruster (3), Quad (4) or 5-plug.
- Full compatibility: Choose between Futures or FCSII fin boxes.
