This is the new model of the popular H1 shortboard. This board is the most versatile all-round board in the range. It goes great in all waves from hip high to overhead and this board can be ridden by almost anyone. From the beginning shortboarder to the experienced traveler, everybody will enjoy the versatility of this shape. The H2 has a bit more foil in the deck and the rails have slightly less volume then the previous shape. However, there is still a bit more volume throughout the shape and the bottom has a single to double concave. Sizes start at 6’0” till 6’8”.
This is for the experienced surfer who likes to surf aggressive. The updated version has a improved outline and rocker and therefore this is “the board” if you want to improve your high performance surfing. Sizes start at 5’9” till 6’4”.
This is the bestselling shape from the range and it’s still as solid as it ever was. It’s the ideal board for a beginning shortboarder. It paddles like a Malibu and surfs as a shortboard. You will catch any wave with this board but you will still be able to duckdive with it. So it’s the best of both worlds. Sizes start at 6’4” till 7’2”.
This is still one of the favorite shapes of the shaper, formerly the Twin and a half. It is a modern shortboard with a lot of fish heritage. Definitely in the North Sea waves this shape is a must have in your quiver. Due to the width and the volume you will catch every wave but you’ll still surf it progressively. The Tarbot comes standard as a thruster now but the twin and a half or a quad setup also work brilliantly. Sizes from 5’10” till 6’3”.
The Holanda Modern Fish brings you a high performance shortboard with a fishy feel to it. Due to the flatter rocker and the increased width in the nose of the board you will be able to catch a lot more waves but still surf it radical. The shape is suited for both the beginning shortboarder as well as the experienced surfer. Sizes start at 6’0” till 6’6”.
For the travelling surfer who needs a few more inches. This is the board for the bigger days in the non-Dutch conditions. A good rocker, a bit of volume, single to double concave and a rounded-pin tail makes it a fast and responsive board for the experienced surfer. Sizes start at 6’5” till 6’10”.
This is a retro fish shape with a big swallow tail and a twin or quad fin setup. Due to the volume in the board, this thing will fly down the line in the weak Dutch waves. A great addition to your quiver and it’s always fun to ride one of these. Sizes start at 5’9” till 6’3”.
Even more retro then the fish, this shape goes back to the roots. The widest point in front of the middle, a lot of volume and full rails make this board a lot of fun. When you get the hang of this board you will improve your surfing so much, once you get back on a thruster you will be surprised how much you have learned. Great for your flow. Sizes start at 6’4” till 6’8”.
