ROBERTS DISCO HIPPY
ROBERTS DISCO HIPPY
The Disco Hippy represents a progressive evolution that traces back to our retro-inspired yet performance-oriented Bro Fish. After wanting more performance in the next model, we introduced the Disco Diamond which retained that nostalgic vibe with some modifications such as a diamond tail for a shorter rail line as well as slightly thinner rails for added sensitivity. The result was a board that felt more responsive, easier to turn, and exceptionally agile in the pocket. Now with the introduction of the Disco Hippy, we have once again elevated performance while preserving all the wave-catching prowess and sheer speed of its predecessors.
Inheriting the flow, glide, and stability from the fish-type outlines, the Disco Hippy also keeps the rockers and concaves from its ancestors, maintaining impressive speed and release from the tail. The wide nose is still great for paddling while removing the beak reduces swing weight and improves maneuverability. Tuned thinner rails combine harmoniously to provide precise feedback and unmatched responsiveness in the pocket. A hipped squash tail introduces a break point in the outline, resulting in tighter turns and added hold during maneuvers. All together we’ve enhanced the Disco Hippy making it great for small waves as well as a way to progress or push your performance limits in a shorter board.
