Used Large Hornet 3/4” Tapered to 5/8” CX1 Skimboard

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!

52.50" x 20.60" - 160 - 205 lbs.

The CX1 is the streamlined version of our wildly popular Double Carbon Fiber Epoxy construction, and has a price tag to go along with it. These boards still feature 2 layers of Carbon Fiber, Aerospace Grade Epoxy Resin, E-Glass and S-Glass Reinforcement and a PVC foam core. The key difference is that this construction is slightly heavier than our standard Double Carbon Fiber Epoxy skimboards. If having the lightest board possible isn't as high on the priority list, but saving a few bucks is, you're in the right place!

Key Features of the CX1 Construction:

• 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
• High Density PVC Foam Core
• Double Wrapped Rails
• Matte Gloss Finish for easy traction application

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.

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!

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.
