Introducing the HPLB - High Performance Longboard by Roberts Surfboards, a cutting-edge design that redefines what a longboard can do. Tailored for the advanced surfer, this high-performance model uniquely melds the classic longboard experience with the agility seen in shortboarding, allowing riders to attack waves with unparalleled speed and precision. The HPLB features a continuous rocker contour, which enhances maneuverability for sharp cutbacks and aggressive off-the-lip maneuvers, all while maintaining the ability to noseride when necessary.

The HPLB boasts a sophisticated rail configuration that enhances handling and responsiveness. Beveled rails at the nose transition to a versatile 40/60 rail design through the midsection, culminating in shortboard-like hard edges at the tail for enhanced grip and drive. A thoughtful bottom contour combines a subtle concave in the nose with a sophisticated double concave and inset vee at the tail, optimizing water flow for maximum speed and control. The HPLB is available in custom dimensions—from 8’ to 10’—making it suitable for both smaller, lightweight surfers and those seeking a more robust performer. Riders can opt for a thinner variant (starting at 2 1/2” thick) for even greater sensitivity and responsiveness, and the choice of RET (stringered EPS/Epoxy) construction provides an optimal balance of weight reduction and strength.

Whether you are carving up a point break or dancing on small summer swells, the Roberts HPLB delivers exceptional performance transcending traditional longboarding. This surfboard is not just about cruising; it’s designed for surfers who demand more from their equipment, allowing for a dynamic surfing experience that marries nostalgia with modern performance.
