The HT2 is the same model that Filipe Toledo won the 2017 Hurley Pro at Trestles with slight differences according to Marcio Zouvi. With Filipe’s win at the Hurley event I was pretty excited to give this board a go at Lower Trestles.. This board was designed as a daily driver for surf in the 3-6’ range. We were lucky enough to get some swell but the waves were a bit crossed up and difficult to surf. With that being said the HT2 had its work cut out for itself but to my surprise the board felt solid under foot and had speed to burn. My surprise was not about the board design but more or less if the E2 EPS construction could handle the size, texture, and crossed up swell direction surf we had to deal with. On video the waves look really fun and they were… the HT2 felt good and the E2 construction held the rail in the water and performed well also.
Would love one of these boards but its not build for my 96kg body. I need at least 36lts in a 6'0" or 6'2" to get me going :D
Great review Noel!

This board did pivot faster compared to other models and I think it’s mostly because of Filipe Toledo’s fin. It’s a bit more upright and I noticed it too on the footage. Good eye and thanks for posting and your kind words. Cheers
There should be a surf word dictionary somewhere to get me sorted out. I will take down the comment as to not confuse your following if you like.
Also I don’t mean to say you were not riding it well. The whole reason I watch your show is that I know you can ride these boards to their potential and translate the qualities of the equipment to us.
When I think of a board looking or feeling skatey I think of fast, loose, and kind of playful. (Easy to slide) a 2+1 fin set up or a Twin Fin often feels skatey to me.
Is this what you mean by skatey....?
The DIMS on this HT2 felt good for me.... floatation, speed, paddling, and performance were solid. Most of the waves for this review were wonky but fun and this board went good in my book. Cheers
Small wave Performance boards I like Low entry somewhat flat in the belly, and medium exit for tight pocket surfing.
btw, love those pesky cross swells at my closeout beach breaks :)
