Built around an overall low rocker paired to an almost traditional "fish" outline featuring a "locked-in" snowboard influenced sidecut outline, speedy forgiving double concave chined 'Hydra-hull, a rail shortening bit increasing split diamond tail and a flat-ish deck with forgiving rails adds flexibility and allows radical surfing with a wide tail." - Matt Featuresįin Box Fits FCS-II, FCS Two Tab and Lib RRIPs fins I dare say this is a more effective and advanced tail design than a typical fish or swallow in allowing radical surfing with very wide tails.The Hydra is the most advanced small wave board I have ever created!" It melds more than 25 years of small wave fish and mini-wave hybrids. Flex is good in low rocker boards, keeping them pliable and forgiving. Flat decks can remain thinner and still retain volume, and more importantly, are more flexible(even if thick) than vee or dome decks. ![]() Lost hydra full#The Hydra uses a flat-ish deck, with full and forgiving rails. The double diamond tail shortens the rail line making quick and radical, power retaining turns much more manageable. The notched-out center line shortens the stringer and reduces surface area behind the rear foot, to add bite and control to a wide tail. The tail is a split diamond, which melds the characteristics of both swallow and diamond tails. Lost hydra free#With very wide boards, single concave bottoms easily get sticky and stay flat on the face, the chined bevels add release, free up the board from rail to rail and encourage 3D rail surfing, as opposed to simply skating fast on the surface, like so many traditional fish. Like a single concave It allows the use of more curve through the rocker (which makes proper turning and vertical surfing a lot easier) by cutting through and adding lift and speed. A similar style of “hull” was also designed, popularized and perfected byBill Stewart as the “Hydro-Hull” for decades. A design I first learned from Jim Fuller, in the mid’80’s and is featured in our classic Bottom Feeder model. The bottom contours feature a unique double concave, chined “Hydra-hull”. ![]() It noticeably locks into the wave during carves and shortens the radius of turns while both gaining speed and maintaining control. From our original Pelagic, to the RNF-Retro and on to the new SWORD-FISH, every board featuring this outline has worked above expectations. On the outline, we’ve continued with the snowboard influenced “Pelagic” side cut outline. It features multiple magic making design elements which bring The Hydra to life. Lost hydra movie#
