Hoku - Texalium with XEON Fiberglass

The Hoku GT-2 Performance Longboard is super-versatile, performing in everything from small waves to surf that’s well overhead. This surfboard is designed with XEON pigmented fiberglass deck and silver Texalium bottom. Texalium is magnetized fiberglass infused with aluminum which gives it a sliver appearance. This also gives it a slightly heavier weight for a more traditional feel. The GT-2 Performance Longboard features a full nose with concave and a tapered rail, complimenting the parabolic outline. This longboard has plenty of nose rocker and tail kick, making it responsive and super-maneuverable in a wide range of surf conditions. The concave shape also sets you up for length nose riders when you’re ready to perch.

This surfboard is 100% hand layup with all fiberglass cloth hand laid, sanded and polished in accordance with our high quality standards. The Hoku GT-2 is strong, lightweight and offers the quality that can only be achieved through the hand work of skilled craftsmen. This surfboard features a custom molded blank with fused cell EPS foam core. The proprietary fiberglass stringer system offers excellent flex and twist while the layers of XEON pigmented fiberglass, 10 ounces between the deck and bottom, offer superior strength, durability, and resistance to heel dents. The Hoku GT-2 features hand laid lamination with high impact epoxy resin, hot coat and hand polished for unbeatable quality. The centerpiece of any quiver, the Hoku GT-2 Performance Longboard is the board to get if you could only have one.
