A high performance longboard that feels and performs like a short board!
Designed by Bondi Rescue’s Anthony “Harries” Carroll and shaped by Sunova’s legendary Burt Burger, The Harries Pro combines a full performance FCS 2 thruster setup with Sunova‘s composite BalsaFlex construction technology to create a board so free and loose, no one can believe a Longboard can be surfed so radically.
The Harries PRO is the ultimate performance longboard attaining that delicate balance between competitive edge and long-boarding tradition.
About the Board
GENERAL GOAL / THEME OF THE BOARD
A super refined high performance longboard that has been perfected by “Harries” & Burt Burger over the last 10 years.
IDEAL WAVE TYPE
3ft-6ft. All types.
MANOEUVRE IT DOES BEST
All round performance, it also goes vert really well and loves the pocket, and is super responsive.
SKILL LEVEL
Intermediate to Pro
PADDLE POWER
Average.
Design Info
OUTLINE
Traditional clean longboard outline, subtle flyer, rounded pin. The outline is relatively balanced with the widest point in the middle, it does carry some width to around 3ft from the tail before pulling in to a performance shortboard outline, so the board can be pumped for speed easily and can be surfed freely off the tail. If you have never owned one, you will basically freak out at how well this board can surf.
RAILS
Low profile, shortboard style. The really low rails do a few different jobs, fat rails are harder to bury, especially at speed, so the low rails make the board super sensitive and responsive in turns. Because our stringers are in our rail line, the board has a greater range of flex and spring back. The low rail is more submerged when walking and nose riding so the board is nice and stable to walk with water flowing over the rails holding them down. Lastly the bottom edge through the tail is quite tucked under, this gives the board good hold into late drops and a smooth ride in general.
ROCKER
Full high performance rocker. This amount of rocker fits nicely into tighter parts of the wave, yet it is still flat enough to carry without needing to be pumped, but it can be pumped for speed with ease if the wave requires. The curve is an even curve all the way out the tail, so it still carries speed even if you are standing right on the tail. The board has a nice squirt or acceleration if you stomp your back foot, as opposed to a tail flip which is like hitting the brakes
BOTTOM
Flat bottom. The idea is to keep the board going fast, it already has plenty of features to keep the board loose and sensitive, no need for added contours as the overall design is not dependent on bottom contours for control. Additionally, the general Sunova construction with the flexible bottom adds another dimension that reduces the need for contours.
DECK
Standard deck roll. Not much going on here apart from thickness distribution. Having the nose and tail quite refined lowers swing weight and keeps the tail feeling sensitive.
FINS
FCS2 Thruster. For sure the best performance option, some like to run a slightly smaller tail fin, as this frees the tail up a little better in tight under the lip style turns and snaps in general.
