Tolhurst HI BT 3+3 Thunderbolt Red Surfboard The HIBT 3+3 is a completely new surfboard design, the first full collaboration between Billy Tolhurst and Harley Ingleby, developed with extensive R&D. Its key feature is the 3+3 fin system, which allows it to be ridden as a quad, twin, or asymmetrical setup, essentially creating three boards in one. The board is fast, loose, and versatile for a wide range of surfers, with a neutral bottom contour allowing comfortable use even if over-volumed. Shorter sizes (5'10, 6'0, 6'2) function as performance shortboards, while longer sizes (6'6, 6'10, 7'2) offer more flow and paddle power. Key Features: • Plan Shape - Full nose, clean outline, and a sting-style flyer into a deep fish tail for control. • Flyer/Sting - Helps the board release and pivot easily - especially as a quad. • Bottom Contour - Flat entry with Billy’s signature rail relief and double concave underfoot. • Rocker - A tuned-up version of the BT Twin rocker - fastest in the lineup. • Fins - Quad (black plugs) Twin (white plugs) Asym: Twin on toe side, quad on heel side About this board: Fin Boxes: FCS2 x 6 (Fins not included)Tail shape: Swallow Tail with FlyerDimensions/Litres: See size graph aboveConstruction: Thunderbolt Red Epoxy: Due to the flex and speed generating qualities of the thunderbolt red construction, these boards are best suited to everyday surf conditions as they will make the most of waist to head height surf. Thunderbolt Red surfboards are hand crafter for a classic feel with enhanced response. Starting off with an EPS foam blank, a high-density foam block is installed into the blank to provide a secure anchor point for the fin box. AVT flex control components are laminated to the bottom in an A shape, then a tapered groove is cut into the deck for the AVT stringer in a T shape, which is laminated onto the deck and pressed into the groove at specific depths. AVT flex control components are laminated to the deck, in a V shape. This combination AVT shape defines the flex, responsiveness and feel of the board creating a waistline component which creates a pivot point for tail flex, and stores the energy generated by natural flexing and twisting forces generated during a turn, which then releases through the board and fin launching the board forward. Hand laminated fiberglass layer and PVC shell lock AVT flex control components in, then is cured in a mould for precise rocker and shape. Thunderbolt red blanks are then laminated in fibreglass giving them more flex than the black construction. Designed in Japan, for the world.
