2012 Hardy 3D
Ryan Hardy is everyones sentimental favourite. His flawless style and fearless attitude is the stuff of legends.
2011 has been a great year for Hardy, Winning the IBA Box pro and a second in the Zicatella pro.
He's on track to be a #1. His board is already!
This is What Ryan has to say about his board:
My shape has always been refined to allow for maximum speed and
control when the waves get serious. This years template is no different
and it allows me the confidence to get the best controlled scoop
possible when dropping into the wave and maximum speed and forward
projection off the bottom turn. I like riding the PE core when the water
is colder and the waves are suckier and heavier. This gives me the
best flex for scooping and maneuverability that's required when you're
moving fast in heavy waves. I prefer to ride the PP core when the water
is warmer and the waves are softer, have a bit more of a slope and
thinner lips. In these conditions I find the PP's rigidity to be
optimum in retaining maximum speed from take off to finish and it also
provides the greatest 'pop' or projection off the lip.
He has combined his board knowledge with his precise wave riding skills to come up with this board.
If you wanna surf like Ryan this is where the dream begins.
The 3D Core consists of a Polypro (PP) Top Layer Bonded with a Dow (PE) Bottom layer
This brings the best of both cores together for superior projection and responsiveness.
