Who's this board made for?

The Hellcat is made for high performance shortboard surfers looking for a versatile board that can handle both daily surfing and more challenging overhead conditions. It's suited for surfers who appreciate a board with excellent maneuverability, hold, and speed.

What type of waves?

The Hellcat is designed to perform well in a range of wave conditions, from 2-3 foot days to overhead days at firing North.

Design:

Board Shape and Outline: The Hellcat has a more narrow outline in the nose and tail, with a wider point moved back two inches from the middle. It features a round thumbtail.
Rocker: It has more rocker than usual Hunter boards but still maintains a low rocker overall, with additional tail rocker for easier pivoting.
Rails: The board has tapered rails, providing more hold during turns and preventing bogging during rail-to-rail transitions.
Bottom Contour: It features a single concave transitioning to a slight single double concave, with a V in the end of the tail. This design enhances speed and control.
Performance: The Hellcat offers excellent rail-to-rail transitions, allowing for speed retention during bottom turns and providing a good balance of hold and pivot for cutbacks. It's designed to prevent catching rails during hard turns, ensuring smooth and responsive performance.

Surfers Shion Crawford and Robert Grillo, along with the shaper, have been riding and refining this model, making it a reliable high performance shortboard for various surfing conditions.
