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.

We took the Lights Out model’s overall concept and modified it to perfection.

First, we relaxed the rocker of the entire board, by doing this we have found that the board gains speed easily while performing better in everyday surf

]]> We also narrowed the nose width by 1/4″ compared to the Lights Out model. We recommend this model for waist high to overhead surf.

With these minor adjustments and positive feedback from professionals throughout the year, we are proud to release this blade for the public to enjoy.

This board excels in performance driven waves like Lowers, the North Shore, or anything that calls for a blade to be ridden.

The B-Side is our most high performance shortboard in our line. It also has the deepest single concave, and most accelerated rocker of any performance board we have built.

This board has an accelerated rocker which allows it to fit well in punchy, curvier waves. The block swallow tail extends the rail line and gives you a definitive pivot point to turn off.

]]> A complement to our B-Side model, Side-A is our new shortboard for 2019.

Our newest performance shortboard in collaboration with Chemistry’s team riders. The Side-A model fits between our user friendly R2 model and our most high-performance board the B-Side. The Side-A has a deep single concave which allows this model to gain speed very quickly. The nose is more pulled in than our R2, and the back half of the outline is a bit straighter which allows you to gain maximum speed effortlessly.
