The Cruiser HIT is ideal for paddlers wanting an all-around, family-friendly durable paddleboard. We used the new and ultra-durable High-Impact Technology (H.I.T.) to create a new recreational shape. What we built is a more durable and easy-to-use paddleboard for heavy-duty use. Design: All four HIT Cruisers (9’8″, 10’2″, 11’2″, and 11’6″) are designed with stability, glide, and easy turning in mind. Volume is evenly distributed through the standing area while the wide round nose and tail really help with a stable standing position. The tail section of the HIT Cruiser SUPs benefits from a concaved vee-bottom that makes turning even easier. A standing guide on the deckpad will help your guests find their standing position the very first time they enter the water. Windsurf the 9’8″ and 11’6″ HIT CruiserResponding to the demand in the market, we went ahead and added mast inserts to the 9’8″ and 11’6″ models. More versatility for you, as you can easily screw in a universal mast base and add a rig to the setup. Proven ShapeTo develop the Cruiser, we worked on a proven shape from the successful Elements Range and improved the outline, rail, and bottom shapes for a better glide over flat water. This directly affects the all-round paddling performance for everyday use, but with some key design characteristics, accomplished paddlers will also appreciate taking this Cruiser into small and medium- waves.Designed for heavy use: We know some paddlers require boards that are more durable, safer and bring additional key features to the table; that is why we created the Cruiser HIT. The enlarged hole on the nose is a smart design feature that allows owners to quickly use a single steel cable to secure all boards at the end of the day. The full EVA deck allows beginners to safely explore the balance of the board, plus it is comfortable on the knees for those who are not quite ready yet to stand up. A standing guide, bungee chords to secure personal floatation devices and additional reinforcements of the rails protect HIT boards from paddle impact and general knocks. If you have windy conditions, consider the WS version of the Cruiser HIT as the daggerboard and full-sized mast track make for a better windsurfer than the regular Cruiser; instead of the M8 mast screw inserts, it features a mast rail as well. HIT Construction for the CruiserHIT board construction uses eco-friendly SecureCell EPS cores that get fully wrapped in military-grade fiberglass. Once laminated with epoxy resin, the board is capped with extremely tough “bullet skin” (styrene-acrylonitrile), increasing longevity and impact resistance. Additional reinforcement of the rail bands protects HIT boards from paddle impact and general knocks. HIT construction also features a deck with premium thermoformed EVA over the entire length of the board. Delivering the ultimate in comfort and a ledge handle for easy carrying.
