DESCRIPTION

Stewart’s world famous top-selling model of all time, the Hydro Hull was originally designed in 1982 documented in the book essential surfing by George Orbelian. the double concave bottom & bevel rail concept that was completely innovative to the surf industry. In 1985, Stewart introduced the 2+1 fin configuration, which changed the face of modern longboarding and was quickly adopted by other board manufacturers.

What makes the Hydro Hull so progressive and popular, even still today, is the performance from the beveled rails and the single to double concave bottom. Full length edges lifted by the bevel on the rail create strong drive out of the turns and plenty of speed down the line, while the bevel makes it forgiving for even the most novice surfer. Lots of V with the double concave bottom makes rail to rail change fast and effortless, so the more advanced surfer can do a hard bottom turn.

Stable, fast, responsive, maneuverable, and fun in anything from ankle-high slop to overhead barrels, the Hydro Hull is the ideal all-around board for any surfer level or wave conditions. The SLX construction of this board makes it feel light, responsive and very sensitive under your feet.

Steve from NSW, Australia says:

If I had to sum this board up in one word it would be… radical. It’s fast and it’s light but the most incredible thing about the Hydro Hull SLX is how responsive and sharp it is. In all my years of surfing longboards, I’ve never ridden one that can turn quite like this. It’s so responsive that it actually takes a couple of surfs to figure out where the heck you should even stand on the board. While it’s possible (and very fun) to cruise into the beach on the Hydro Hull, this board is really suited to people looking to push the boundaries of longboarding, people looking for a bit more freedom while still maintaining all the paddle power and speed that longboards offer. It has a unique shape, the beveled rails and tight rounded square tail allow you to get into and turn out of pockets of the wave that are normally too steep for regular longboards to handle.
