Medium Small Hornet™ Shape 3/4” Tapered to 5/8" Double Carbon Fiber Epoxy Skimboard

Regular price $599.99

Shape

The Hornet™ Shape is the culmination of over a year of R&D with our elite team of riders to take our most popular Hybrid Shape and make it THAT much better. We've taken the Hybrid Shape and drawn in the tail profile to make it narrower and slightly more pointed. This creates a shape that performs much like the Hybrid, BUT is ultra responsive under the lip and has extra 'hold' on the face of larger, steeper waves. Ideal for average to above average conditions. This shape will not disappoint!

Dimensions

51.75" x 20.00" - 120 - 175 lbs.

Construction

Double Carbon Fiber Epoxy Construction

This is the board that changed it all. Many have tried to copy this board, all have failed. Unlike most skimboard companies, the most popular board we sell is also the most expensive board we sell. Why you ask? 'Cause it’s just that good. The perfect balance of weight, strength and stiffness combine to make the most popular high-end skimboard ever. Every trick in the book, with no corners cut make this the best value in skimboarding. We have customers still riding these boards from when our company was founded in 2002. You want the best? This is it. Come and get it!

Carbon Fiber is practically synonymous with top of the line in any industry. This fabric is highly coveted for its extreme strength and stiffness. Exile uses only Aerospace Grade Carbon Fiber and Epoxy resin, making these boards stronger, stiffer and lighter than our fiberglass boards. Truly the best skimboard money can buy and the trusted construction of all our top Professional riders.

Key Features of Double Carbon Fiber Epoxy:

  • A Full Sheet of Aerospace Grade Carbon Fiber on the top and bottom
  • Premium Epoxy Resin
  • S-Glass Reinforced Bottom
  • Reinforced with multiple layers of fiberglass
  • Ultra High Density PVC Foam Core
  • Double Wrapped Rails
  • Every Trick in the Book
  • Size, Shape, and Thickness Options for ANY Size Rider in ANY Type of Conditions

Thickness

3/4'' Tapered to 5/8'' thickness means that the center of the core is 3/4'' thick and thins out to 5/8'' (roughly) in the nose and tail. This creates added buoyancy while keeping the board maneuverable, just not quite as responsive as the 5/8''. This thickness is typically more ideal for slight below average to slightly above average wave height and strength.

Rocker

HYBRID ROCKER

The Hybrid Rocker is what we put on 90% of the boards we produce, and is the most versatile skimboard rocker for skimming anything from the Gulf Coast of Florida to Cabo. It clocks in roughly at 2.25" in the nose and about .125" in the tail with a fairly good size flat spot in the middle of the board. This allows the board to transition from sand to water easily, be super fast, and turn on a dime. If you aren't sure, this would be our pick!

Finish

Textured Finish

Light, Strong, Durable, and preferred by riders who put more emphasis on performance than cosmetics. This is the finish the company was built on and the golden standard in which others imitate. Some sanding required for proper traction adhesion.
