Fast forward 23 years NSP in conjunction with Cobra International, the leader of construction technology, has again set the bar with a wave pool-specific technology innovation aptly named CI-17 (Chlorine).

Rail: Full
Bottom: Single to double concave
Ideal waves: 1-6ft
Level: Intermediate – Expert


Hybrid CL-17 design

• Performance rails, bottom rocker, and foil to make it fast, stable, and maneuverable on the wave.
• The flatter rocker and added width catch waves easily and generates speed combined with a pulled-in round tail for bite and hold through rail turns and in steeper waves.
• Ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers seeking one of the most versatile and user-friendly short boards on the market that suits any wave situation from beach breaks to point breaks.


Fin setup:

• The Hybrid CL-17 comes as a thruster
• It comes with 3x MFC-designed fins out of the box, but an RTM upgrade is available from NSP too for grippier turns and more performance.

Description

Why does the table say EST under “Weight”?

A considerable part of the NSP Hybrid CL-17 is hand-made and as such, weight varies from one board to another, with a 5% variance. To calculate a true average weight, NSP reserves the right to manufacture a certain number of boards before publishing the official (average-based) weight.

Until then, we rely on estimated weight (EST).

Who is the Hybrid CL-17 for?

A Hybrid surfboard firmly stands where the generic Fish-type board meets your performance surfboard model. By adopting the best features from both concepts, the end result is a surfboard that paddles easily, is stable and generates speed like a fish. And yet has the manoeuvrability of a high-performance shortboard.

A Hybrid Elements is generally surfed a few inches shorter than your standard shortboard.So what you might lose in speed, you will get back in its ability to turn in average wave conditions.

A shorter board comes in handy in smaller surf too, as you can whip turns around in a tighter radius than something longer, allowing you to squeeze as many turns in as short of an area as possible.
