Born in a Jersey hurricane... It paddles great, catches waves with ease, trims till the wave hits the beach and it’s a Mayhem so you know it performs! To do all this Lib Tech stayed true to the Hydra’s magic making design elements and made some performance enhancing adjustments. Lib Tech reduced the intensity of the sidecut outline that locks in control and shortens radius of turns while gaining speed and maintaining control. Lib Tech kept the double concave inside a single concave hull that adds speed while allowing proper turns and vertical surfing. Lib Tech also kept the distinct chines that add release and allow a concave high volume board to roll easily rail to rail. Lib Tech increased the rocker as the board grew in length so the longer rail line would fit into the curves of smaller waves and feel free. To be ridden about 12” longer than you would HYDRA or other Fish, or even 12” taller than your own height, depending on skill level and preference.
