A Pumping Cruiser Based on the Cory Lopez Twisted Fin
This board has the same deck as the Hamboards Twisted Fin, but has a different set of HST Trucks, making it more stable and easier to pump.
Pro surfer Cory Lopez designed the Hamboards Twisted Fin to be a training device for serious surfers. However that model can be a challenge for some. The OC Hula uses the same deck shape, but instead of HST 40°/200mm trucks, we've use an HST 40°/180mm truck in the front and an HST 0°/160mm truck in the rear. This gives the OC Hula more stability and greater pumpability than the Cory Lopez Twisted Fin.
HST trucks are not swivel trucks. Unlike many surfskate trucks, our patented HST trucks use stiff springs and wavecams to provide rotation and control. With these boards, most of the pumping action is driven by your back leg/foot, not your front.
The concave and swallow kick-tail allow you to get leverage on the deck for tail washes and 180s.
