· GLYDRA, THE HYDRA GLIDER | KIND OF A MID-LENGTH FISH TYPE OF THING ·
Why the GLYDRA? | The GLYDRA came to life, as ...Lost tells the history, from one of their partner retailers in New Jersey when after a surfing session in summer 2020 they mention the popularity about their recently released HYDRA: "A small wave sea monster/miniscule-wave weapon that was catching on in their typically tiny surf." At that time the Mid-Length genre was also sweeping the nation so this is what happened: “Hey Matt, you know what would be sick? A HYDRA stretched out to a mid-Length…Across between your SMOOTH OPERATOR and HYDRA. Kind of a Mid-Length fish type of thing. That wide HYDRA tail on a Mid-Length would be great around here.”- Kev Mo (Heritage).
That was enough to plant the seed on Matt Biolos and start developing the design that very same day, knowing that he wanted to creat a free and loose on the face surfboard, not too linear or horizontal. A quite longer board that would offer the possibility to get up n go, moved up and down the wave, change directions quickly and feel “loose” in sub-par surf.
That is how a mid-length Glider version of HYDRA was born. Both functional and beautiful, exuding character and style.
Recommended Size? | This surfboard was designed to be ridden about 12” longer than you would the HYDRA or other Fish surfboard, or even 12” taller than your own height, depending on skill level and preference.
It paddles great, catches any wave with ease, can trim along till the last bit of whitewater crumbles away onto the shore, and still yes, performs!
