OVER WHITE WATER: Below average due to narrower nose.

What you thought of when you designed it?
This board is an evolution of the Insane after rigorous testing from James Casey. He wanted a board that rode a little different to the Insane, something with a clean bump free outline. Fast forward a few years and the Throttle was born.
What it possibly compromises on then?
No compromises, it just needs to be ridden in the right conditions.
