HIBT 3+3

The HIBT 3+3 is the first full collaboration between Billy Tolhurst and Harley Ingleby - a brand-new design built from scratch. While previous Tolhurst x Thunderbolt models have evolved from Billy’s 50+ years of model refinement, this one’s different. Billy and Harley teamed up from day one to create something completely new and were put through more R&D than any previous model.

Taking the versatility of the HIBT to new levels is the 3+3 fin system, letting you ride it as a true quad, true twin, or an asym fin setup. It’s like having three boards in one - super versatile, super fun.

The HIBT is designed to suit a wide range of surfers. All sizes are very fast and incredibly loose off the top, even as a quad. The subtle but effective bottom on the HIBT keeps the front free and neutral, meaning you can ride it comfortably on or over volume.

The shorter sizes (5’10, 6’0, 6’2) are perfect for those looking for a performance shortboard in Thunderbolt tech. The bigger sizes (6’6, 6’10, 7’2) offer more flow and paddle power - ideal for downsizing from a longer board or complementing a MID6 or MOE.

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
