Hooligan PU design:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The Hooligan shape combines details from Kym\u2019s shortboard outlines and refined rail profiles he has used with great success on his longboard designs. Concave and hollowed V\u2019s interchange allows for quick and dynamic directional changes.<\/p>\n

\n

Fins:<\/h4>\n

The PU Hooligan comes with NSP\u2019s new FTU fin boxes (compatible with\u00a0Futures\u00ae fins<\/a><\/span>), plus a center US-10 fin box.<\/p>\n

*<\/strong>Fins not included.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Hooligan PU shape<\/h4>\n

The design of this Kym Thompson shape incorporates the responsiveness of a narrow shortboard tail and rail profile, to create a longboard that carves long, drawn-out lines and hits the lip.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Advanced surfers will appreciate loads of hollowed V under their feet to give quick rail-to-rail turns.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Show off all your surfing skills with a dynamic shortboard approach to rail-to-rail carving, then switch modes for classic nose riding and traditional longboard style.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Use a small single fin for ankle slapper and add side biters and larger center fin as wave size and swell increase.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Bring out your inner surf hooligan, break down the traditional surf style rules and mix things up on the wave with an aggressively modern and classic style!<\/p>\n

Due to growing demand, the PU Hooligan is available in two designs and also comes in our eco-friendly\u00a0CocoFlax<\/a>\u00a0construction. Slightly thinner than the CocoFlax version, a PU Hooligan rewards accomplished riders with more responsiveness and that vintage longboard feeling.<\/p>\n

About Kym Thompson<\/h4>\n

Starting at the young age of 15, Kym Thompson made designing surfboards his life\u2019s work and to this day he designed and shaped everything from single fin boards, right down to all multi-fin configurations.<\/p>\n

Originally Kym began his career shaping longboards and as the shortboard era took hold, Kym advanced his skills and transitioned his designs to meet the demands of the market.<\/p>\n

From the beginning, dating back to 2001, Kym and NSP built a strong partnership with Kym being the mastermind behind the popular PU Heritage Series. His Endless, Hooligan, Dream Rider, and Fighting Fish shapes are now integrated into the lightweight and sustainable Cocomat and Coco Flax series.<\/p>\n

NSP is looking forward to continuing a long tradition of bringing high-quality, innovative, yet affordable surfboards by Kym Thompson to the market.<\/p>\n

These have long been the standard for most brands and are the most widely and affordable options still out there. Due to the foams, weight and density PU \/ PE boards sit a little lower in the water, helping to keep your rail under, giving you a nice \u201cknifey\u201d feel when slicing through the wave\u2019s face.<\/p>\n

Being a touch heavier also helps them to handle choppy conditions better and are less prone to being bounced around. Sitting lower in the water also has its benefits to barrel riding, providing more hold in hollow waves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
