HONEY ROOTS TECHNOLOGY

After 9 years of development, with the help of governmentally funded collaborative research projects and supported by 2 of Germany’s excellence universities we introduce a revolutionary method to build surfboards. With the unique 3D laminate we are able to establish our new dimensions in surfboard construction.

NEW DIMENSIONS IN SURFBOARD CONSTRUCTION

DURABILITY

SUSTAINABILITY

FLEX CONTINUITY

Built in the patented HRT construction, these boards will not only be more stable, durable and maintain their flex for a lifetime, they will also inherit the unique sensation of acceleration and speed that is always associated with our 3D structural glassing.

DESIGNED WITH SPIDER MURPHY

The HRT surfboard collection was developed in close collaboration with shaping legend Spider Murphy, drawing on more than 55 years of shaping experience.

Having crafted boards for several world champions and played an active role in the evolution of modern surfboard design, Spider brings a rare level of expertise and insight to the range. With his refined design approach and deep understanding of modern performance requirements, he adds a new level of speed, glide and control to every model while keeping the shapes accessible with an intuitive feel.

CONSTRUCTION

CLOSED CELL CORE MATERIAL

A closed cell core that does not absorb water, consisting out of 30% biobased and 70% recycled material. The core is showing exceptional pressure resistance and a characteristic flex pattern.

3D FIBER LAYUP

Our patented 3D Structure consisting out of a Viscose / PET Layer combined with a quadraxial fiber glass alignment allowing for absolute responsiveness and vibration dampening.

RECYCLABLE RESIN SYSTEM

A specifically formulated 28% biobased and truly recyclable epoxy resin system is bonding all elements with our RE-FUSED manufacturing process.

ADDITIVES

An elastic caoutchouc based additive that improves the boards shock and impact resistance while further improving the vibration dampening and overall board feel.

NEW DIMENSIONS IN FLEX CONTINUITY

HRT allows us to precisely finetune the flex of a surfboardin order to findthe perfect mix out of liveliness, response and vibration dampening. Once set and thanks to the superior bond between layup and core,the boards perfect flex will last for its lifetime.

NEW DIMENSIONS IN SUSTAINABILITY

HRT is based on a holistically sustainable and recyclable material choice. Being designed for circularity, the construction stands out through its eco-conception.

A HRT Surfboard is based on a 70% recyclable and 30% biobased wood content closed cell foam that will not absorb any water at all. Followed by bio-synthetic fibers such as flax or hemp. One construction combines it with a glass layer. With the specially formulated biobased and recyclable epoxy resin the board is not only strong but also fully recyclable.

NEW DIMENSIONS IN DURABILITY

The 3D structure reinforces the board in its flex and significantly reduces the risk of pressure dents and dings. At the same time the increased surface of the honeycombs improves the bond between foam and reinforcement layer, therefore eliminating the risk of delamination.

These improved characteristics allow us to integrate natural or bio-synthetic fiber while maintaining outstanding durability.

The HRT technology creates a surfboard whose durability far exceeds that of a standard PU hardboard without sacrificing any performance at all.
