Sleep Walker HDT Design
The Sleep Walker Longboard, shaped by Tully St. John is an awesome allround Pink longboard. This shape has been road tested and scrutinized by the world’s best longboarders all the way through to everyday surfers and by those just starting out to create a formula that works for everyone.
• Deep entry concave
• Forgiving rails make it easy to nose ride, turn and not catch
• Good thickness through midsection to easily paddle into waves
• Large nose area for hanging ten
• Medium rocker line so the board doesn’t nose dive and allows for increased maneuverability
Riders wanting all these qualities from a log but prefer vintage construction should look into the PU version. The most durable version of the Sleep Walker comes in Elements Construction. The Sleep Walker in CSE is the most performance-oriented version in the line-up.

HDT CONSTRUCTION
Sleep Walker HDT Construction
NSP’s High Definition Technology (HDT) construction redefines the boundaries of surfboard manufacturing. It is now possible to have a board that is incredibly tough, lightweight and high-performance at an affordable price.
Created specifically for the Shapers Union range, HDT pairs high-performance designs with precision moulding technology, ensuring accurate reproduction and dynamic flex characteristics. HDT uses a model-specific, fully fused and water-resistant SecureCell EPS Core, military-grade fibreglass and foaming epoxy resin. Moulded in NSP’s high-tech vacuum moulds, this reduces waste and environmental impact of a traditionally produced surfboard by 30%.
HDT also creates an exceptionally durable shell that offers unmatched strength and lightweight performance, with 50% higher breakage strength at a lower weight than similar boards built in PU.
Implemented at the request of some of the world’s best board builders in the Shapers Union, NSP HDT construction provides consistent performance and durability session after session, elevating the surfing experience with premium materials and innovative technology.
