Product description
The Hydra - by Matt Biolos. Period.
The Hydra is the most advanced small wave board I have ever designed! It fuses over 25 years of small-wave fish boards and mini-wave hybrids.
Built around an overall low rocker paired with an almost traditional fish outline featuring a "locked in" snowboard influenced sidecut outline, speedy forgiving double concave "Hydra Hull", a rail shortening bite increasing split diamond tail, and a flat deck with forgiving rails adds flexibility and allows radical surfing with wide tails. - Matt Biolos
This statement from living shaper legend Matt Biolos says it all.
The Hydra offers you incredible fun in an incredible amount of conditions with little effort: fast turns, easy paddling and a super-short reaction time.
Your comprehensive one-board quiver.
ECO IMPACTO - Thermo Pressure Fusion Process
More technologically advanced - better for the environment: Lib Tech has changed everything you've ever known about surfboards. Every building block used in the construction of this surfboard is new to the surf industry. Lib Tech's construction combines the best features of epoxy and polyester: durability, liveliness, flexibility and dampening. Using magnesium fibre improves overall impact resistance, and the carbon power spine stringer matches the flex of a new high-performance polyester board precisely and holds it for the life of the board. In addition, the incorporated G-Glass fibre provides lightweight reinforcement.
With the bio-resin used, this board has a longer life than epoxy and is much more environmentally friendly.
The Eco Nitrogen foam core built into elliptical-shaped cells acts like a pillar, providing top-to-bottom hardness and side impact resilience. It contains 25-40 % recycled content, with 100 % of the remainder recycled. The Hexzylon Thermo-Fusion Honey Comb Power Panel is impact and ding resistant and absorbs vibration for smooth riding.
FOC II “Freedom of Choice” Adjustable Slot Fin System
With the Foc II Adjustable Slot Fin System, you can position Lib RRIPs, FCS II fins, or FCS fins optimally adapted to your needs. And last but not least, the leash plug with an aircraft aluminium pin and a cup made of light fibres keeps your leash firmly on the board.
