Pretzel 2.0

The HC Surfboards Pretzel 2.0 is an evolution of its predecessor, crafted meticulously to serve as an all-in-one quiver for surfers of all skill levels. Designed with a high-performance ethos at its core, the Pretzel 2.0 is perfect for those who crave versatility in their surf experience. This board boasts a user-friendly, yet high-tech rocker profile that features a low entry for easy paddling and a subtle tail kick for improved maneuverability. Its sophisticated concave design transitions seamlessly from a single concave under the nose, progressing into a double concave and concluding with a pronounced V in the last six inches of the tail—ensuring not only speed but also stability during critical turns.

The refinements made in the Pretzel 2.0 include streamlined rails and a domed deck, enhancing its ability to slice through water at high speeds while maintaining paddle power. The fuller outline and wider tail contribute to its agility, making it responsive in various conditions. Complemented with a swallow tail as standard, it offers added zest and bite in your rides, though it's adaptable with other tail shapes for those looking for a personalized experience. For optimal performance, riders are encouraged to choose a thickness akin to their standard shortboard, while reducing the length by 2-3 inches and increasing the width by a quarter to half inch. This thoughtful design allows the Pretzel 2.0 to shine not just as a powerful step-down option, but as a reliable all-rounder that can elevate any surfer's performance in the water.
