- Ian reviews the Lib Tech x Lost Hydra surfboard: www.boardshop.co.uk/brands/li...
The Lib tech Hydra surfboard has landed…and we're very excited indeed about this pocket-rocket.
This beaut of a board has been a smash hit since its launch by Lost, the PU version has been a best seller so we're super stoked to now have the Lib Tech version to offer as well.
Matt Biolos says - The Hydra melds more than 25 years of small wave fish and mini wave hybrids. 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 bite increasing split diamond tail and a flat-ish deck with forgiving rails adds flexibility and allows radical surfing with wide tails.".
The bottom line is that this thing flies in grovel waves in all conditions but will also handle some power and punch, its comfortable in waves up to shoulder/head high for a decent surfer. in grovel waves it catches waves like a longboard, generates heaps of speed but also turns.
The Lib Tech construction is well suited to this board, using 31 brand-new components to the surf industry and calling on 30 years of experience constructing environmentally friendly surfboards, skateboards and snowboards, it was inevitable that Lib Tech were going to produce some remarkable surfboards using this ground breaking, environmentally friendly manufacturing process. Each of the Lib Tech surfboards is handcrafted in the USA with an unwavering focus on building THE toughest high performance surfboards in the world with a commitment to operating in an environmentally responsible manner..

Which traction would you recommend? If any?
It looks similar to the EL Tomo Fish. Are they similar or totally different?
I didn't think these were coming in until Jan?
Anyone able to compare this to a same sized PJ in LibTech?? Keen to know how they stack up against each other.
How does this material float compared to a regular PU or epoxy?
IME like a stronger glassed PU board. Really stable in chop.
What if you get a ding in it is it like PU ? Is it going to retain water?
nope. It doesn't absorb water.
I wonder how it's compare to pj.
Does FCS2 fins fit well in this?
Yes!
@@SZNResponsibly do you have to screw the fcs2 in though or just snap them in like normal?
@@blakekorenkiewicz gotta anchor the FCS2 with the grub screws that come with the FOC fin boxes

@Boardshop how is the board weight compared to a Firewire TimberTek? Is it better than the Pyzel Astro Pop or FW Seaside? Thanks in advance!
its heavy
It’s gonna feel heavier bc the literate has been adjusted, but just as easy to duck dive and will feel similar in float as your PU. People trip on the weight, but I have a 5’7 PJ and I barely notice when out in the water.
Can you duck dive this?
Still duckdiveable!
Mate good reviews but maybe chill out a bit it’s not childish 😅
Forgiving him in his senior years.
