EMPIRE Andre Botha Hammer PE+ High Volume Bodyboard

"A big part of my confidence in the water depends on having a reliable board. It needs to have the ability to stay loose but also hold a line and generate speed to give you maximum projection. One of the key elements to an effortless and flowing style is a highly responsive board. It should act as an extension of your body giving you the ability to draw clean lines while riding with speed, power, and flow. I have been working with a master shaper for decades and have won two world titles riding boards he has shaped for me. We continue aiming to create magic and this board is a reflection of countless hours spent in both the ocean and shaping bay." - Andre Botha

Care Instructions

*Like sunburnt skin, foam boards blister and bubble when left exposed and unprotected in the sun. Keep your board covered in a cool shady place when not being ridden and avoid a "baking" car on any hot, sunny day.

*Rinse your board off with cool, fresh water after every use to avoid salt water corrosion.

*Don't skim or sand slide on your board unless it's a skim board.

*(If applies) Plug your board in the recommended location. We mark with a sticker where our stringers are while in the packaging so be sure to plug it about an inch from that. We are happy to pre-plug your new board, just ask us to!
