A customer favorite for cold water. The Tribe Hunter HV PE is a medium-flex polyethylene bodyboard for 180 to 200 lb riders in cold water, built for all-around performance with high volume float and an old-school feel. A single carbon fiber stringer and slick mesh control the flex, and an HDPE slick with graduated channels adds durability and speed.
WHO IS THIS BOARD FOR?
Ideal Rider Profile
- Skill Level: Intermediate to advanced.
- Rider Size: Riders 170 to 210 lbs who want extra volume.
- Riding Style: Prone, dropknee, and stand-up capable.
- Conditions: Cold to cool water, below about 75°F (22°C).
Best Suited For
- Cold water bodyboarders who prefer flex over stiffness.
- Anyone who misses old-school 60mm thick boards with lots of glide.
- 2 to 6 foot waves with push and power, at beach breaks, point breaks, and reef breaks with hollow sections.
WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE?
Polyethylene (PE) Core: Medium flex for cold water.
Single Carbon Fiber Stringer and Slick Mesh: Controlled flex in cold water.
HDPE Slick and Graduated Channels: Durability and speed.
High Volume: 59 to 60mm thick for classic old-school float and paddle power.

HOW DOES IT COMPARE?
The Hunter HV PE is the cold water, more flexible Hunter. The Hunter 2.0 HV Pro Quad is the stiff, warm water version with a 1.9pcf PP core, Surlyn slick, and CNC quad channels. Both boards use a single carbon fiber stringer.
