Description : Harley Ingleby Surfboards’ Description The HIBT 3+3 marks the first full collaboration between Billy Tolhurst and Harley Ingleby, resulting in the development of an all-new HI x Tolhurst model. Unlike previous Thunderbolt boards— typically based on existing designs with refinements from Billy’s five decades of shaping—the HIBT was developed from the ground up, with both Billy and Harley involved in every stage of design, testing, and refinement. Pushing innovation further, the HIBT introduces a unique 3+3 fin setup, offering unmatched versatility. The board can be configured as a true quad, true twin, or with an asym fin setup, adapting easily to different styles and wave conditions—all in one board. The HIBT has been developed to appeal to our existing customers whilst opening up a new Thunderbolt audience with the introduction of shorter models and the 3+3 fin system. This combined with Harley’s own shaping and focus on shorter boards, the HIBT represents a new direction for the Tolhurst x HI brand. R&D Billy started with a classic shortboard rocker, fine-tuned with low foiled flyers and channels. Right away, Harley loved the feel in the pocket and the snap off the top — but across flatter sections, it left him wanting more. Next, we added low dropped flyers, feedback was too much drive, not as snappy off the top and didn’t change the carry over dead section. That’s when we switched to the proven BT Twin Fin rocker for better flow. We squared up the rails from the sting style flyer to maximize release and ease off the top. From there we dialed in further : adding channels but ultimately sticking with a double concave that felt more natural underfoot with the most performance. After rounds of testing and fine-tuning, the result is a full range of fishtail flyer six-plug boards from 5’10” to 7’2”. Fast, loose, drivey — and designed to fly through flat sections without losing Originally listed on The Board Source: https://theboardsource.com/products/hibt-89
