The Thunderbolt HIHP (Harley Ingleby High Performance) is the gold standard in modern high-performance longboarding. Designed by shaper Billy Tolhurst for three-time world champion Harley Ingleby, this board pushes the boundaries of the sport with a continuous outline and pronounced rocker that allow for radical turns and ultra-precise lines comparable to those of a shortboard. Its premium construction utilises Thunderbolt technology, offering exceptional responsiveness, a unique dynamic flex and remarkable durability. Featuring a versatile fin configuration, it is designed for demanding surfers who want to attack the lip and string together powerful manoeuvres in a variety of wave conditions. Available at Waïmea in Anglet and on waimea.fr.
The THUNDERBOLT HIHP is the high-performance longboard that Harley Ingleby rode when he won his second ASP World Longboard title in 2014. It is an improvement on the board he used to win the 2009 world title.
The HIHP, shaped by Billy Tolhurst, is a true high-performance longboard with a continuous curved rocker that allows for changes of direction anywhere on the board.
The HIHP is flat under the nose to tighten up the turns. A V-shaped bottom in the centre keeps the rails free for quick rail-to-rail transitions.
A V-shape with double concaves and a flat section behind the fins enables powerful turns in waves of all sizes. Normally set up as a 2+1 longboard, adding a quad configuration improves manoeuvrability in big waves or when making longer turns at high speed.
