The HT2.5 from Sharpeye Surfboards is the next evolution of the HT2, crafted to deliver added Speed, Bite, and Drive for surfers seeking Peak Everyday Performance. A Filipe Toledo Pro Model, the HT2.5 builds on its predecessor’s forgiving yet responsive platform with enhancements that amplify explosiveness and control in a wide range of conditions.
Like the HT2, the HT2.5 features a medium-to-boxy rail profile that reduces rail catches in both powerful and softer sections of the wave. However, this model introduces a baby channel through the tail, which provides an explosive boost in speed and hold, intensifying drive and bite during critical turns. The medium entry rocker ensures quick acceleration from take-off, flowing seamlessly into a flattened exit rocker that offers stability and peak performance when it counts.
Pros:
Baby channel tail enhances speed, bite, and drive for sharper, more explosive turns.
Medium/boxy rails maintain forgiveness while increasing responsiveness.
Balanced rocker profile delivers instant speed and reliable hold.
Versatile across a broad range of everyday conditions.
Pro model performance refined for consistency and progression.
Cons:
Higher performance demands skill—not ideal for beginners.
May feel too aggressive for very mellow or mushy waves.
Summary:
The Sharpeye HT2.5 takes the proven strengths of the HT2 and elevates them with added speed and control, thanks to its innovative tail channel and refined rocker design. For intermediate to advanced surfers who want explosive acceleration and confident bite in their daily surfboard, the HT2.5 delivers peak performance with versatility and consistency, making it a compelling choice for those pushing their limits in everyday conditions.
