Hydra

Introducing the Hydra by Lost Surfboards, a cutting-edge mini-wave surfboard that epitomizes twenty-five years of mastery in developing small wave fish and hybrid designs. This board seamlessly blends various tried-and-true design elements from legacy models such as the Puddle Jumper, Bottom Feeder, and Pelagic, culminating in a performance-focused construction that excels in smaller surf conditions. The Hydra features a low rocker profile paired with an almost traditional fish outline, making it an exceptional tool for the spirited surf enthusiast. Its snowboard-influenced “Pelagic” sidecut outline ensures optimal wave engagement, allowing for tight, controlled turns and incredible speed.

The innovative contours of the Hydra's bottom feature a sophisticated double concave mechanism that sits atop a single concave configuration, designed specifically to enhance lift and speed while surfing. Notably, the chined releases towards the rails improve maneuverability, easing transitions from rail to rail and creating a more dynamic surfing experience. The performance is further amplified by the split diamond tail, combining the best characteristics of swallow and diamond tails, enhancing bite and control without sacrificing the benefits of a wide tail design. The thoughtful notched-out center line reduces surface area behind the rear foot, facilitating radical turns while retaining power and stability. This uniquely engineered board is not only built for speed but also offers a flat-ish deck with forgiving rails, enhancing flexibility for low rocker profiles—a feature that's advantageous for all skill levels looking to maximize their ride.

In summary, the Lost Hydra is engineered for those who demand precision and fun in their small wave performance. Its groundbreaking design ensures riders can unleash their potential by maintaining control at high speeds, allowing for a seamless transition from enthusiastic turns to executing advanced maneuvers with ease. Whether you’re carving through small waves or charging through beach breaks, the Hydra stands as a formidable companion, ensuring an exhilarating, high-performance surf experience.
