With founder, Terry Fitzgerald.

The three main construction formulas (Tech PE, RAW NRG and PP, SOUL PP) continue developing, with the release of ISS this year and the launch of the James Kates Signature Model.

We are continuing development of EPIC models, ‘ART’ (advanced recoil technology) using multiple stringers and now ISS models.

Travel is a big part of our philosophy, testing in all waves everywhere. James Kates and Ivan Pulic are pushing continually, providing feed back is essential to development, but, we also need consistancy and accuracy, for evolution.

Our technologies in ‘ART’ and ‘TT’ (Tension Tech) stringer development continue with ISS providing huge potential for the future.

HB is just plain stoked to be providing sleds for slabs in 2016.
