Using only the best materials and the most proven designs HB Boards allow any user to enjoy paddling, surfing and touring in both flat water and in surf conditions.

Sea Turtles, Artwork, Bamboo and Carbon Fiber. Mark Hurst has been surfing and paddling the beaches north of Puerto Vallarta since the early 2000’s. PV is the ancestral home to 1000’s of Sea Turtles each year. Being able to witness this circle of life first hand of both ancient and new born Sea Turtles in the warm waters of Mexico has been a spiritual part of the experience of Mark’s adventures in and around the bay of Banderas. So, it’s only fitting that Mark hand drew these beautiful silhouettes of turtles to ride along board with him. The inset first nations or Inuit art on the turtles shell is an homage to the spiritual connection the first people to paddle the waters of Canada have with the natural environment. The addition of Bamboo in the construction of the paddle boards is not only beautiful but also serves the purpose of protecting the board from dings and heal depressions. The touring boards are in part hand laid with carbon fiber making them stiffer and lighter to improve paddling performance. In addition, the carbon fiber construction of the paddles create a pure connection for the athlete to the water when out enjoying our beautiful water ways and coastlines.
