The Mark Phipps Hartza is a purpose-built big wave gun designed for surfers who demand absolute confidence, precision, and control when the ocean steps into its most powerful moods. Crafted for charging serious surf, the Hartza blends Phipps’ decades of shaping experience with carefully tuned design elements that help surfers harness speed, maintain hold, and commit fully to towering faces.
At first glance, the outline reflects classic gun DNA—sleek, narrow, and streamlined for maximum paddling efficiency and stability at high speeds. The refined nose entry allows the board to penetrate steep drops with accuracy, while the pulled-in tail offers exceptional hold and control when driving through heavy water or carving wide, drawn-out lines. The rocker is meticulously balanced: enough nose lift to prevent catching during critical takeoffs, yet flat enough through the midsection to generate and maintain down-the-line speed when every second counts.
Underneath, the Hartza typically features clean, functional bottom contours that enhance lift and stability without unnecessary complexity. Its rail design prioritizes grip and security, allowing the surfer to trust the board completely during high-velocity turns and deep bottom-to-top transitions.
The Hartza is built for commitment—ideal for surfers who chase size, challenge powerful reef and outer-reef setups, and need equipment that stays composed when the ocean becomes intimidating. It’s a dependable, confidence-inspiring gun crafted for serious waves and serious performance.
