Heavy Water RTR (All-Round Performance Shortboard)
The Heavy Water RTR is the definitive all-round shortboard, designed to offer high-performance agility across an incredibly wide range of everyday wave conditions. Engineered as a highly reliable daily driver, this model bridges the gap between competitive precision and user-friendly adaptability. It serves as the ultimate quiver-killer to toss in your car or board bag when you need a single board that can effortlessly handle everything from average beach breaks to steep, punchy walls.
Fluid Rocker and Refined Foil: The Smooth Carving Engine
The technical balance of the RTR revolves around a continuous, moderate rocker profile that eliminates any stiff or tracking sensations. This smooth nose-to-tail curvature, subtly optimized under Ray Angosto’sexpert guidance, strikes the perfect balance between paddling efficiency and vertical maneuverability. It allows for an exceptionally clean entry into the wave, maximizing your paddle power to ensure you get to your feet early and with absolute control.
Departing from the boxy, high-volume rails of hybrid shapes, this model features low, smooth rails. This targeted foil allows the board to cut through water resistance like a knife, keeping your edge deeply locked into the wave face during maximum-velocity bottom turns without catching on choppy or imperfect sections.
The bottom contour is specifically configured to channel water flow dynamically beneath your feet, generating instant drive the moment you pop up. Its balanced outline distributes foam intelligently, providing a highly predictable and forgiving platform that responds instantly to subtle weight shifts.
- Smooth rail-to-rail transitions: The low, soft rail edge enables seamless directional changes, allowing you to sustain your momentum through wide, open-face carves.
- Vertical versatility: A highly reactive tail block allows you to break your line at any split second to attack vertical sections and execute tight snaps right in the pocket.
- All-condition drive: Carries speed effortlessly through flatter shoulders or dead sections, ensuring you never bog down when the wave loses its natural power.
If you are looking to buy an all-round shortboard engineered to deliver ultimate traction, speed, and smooth control across your daily sessions, the RTR provides the exact response and hydrodynamic flow under your feet.
