The HYDROPLANE is our new, user friendly high performance Hybrid! The key aspect of this board is the hydroplane hull running through the bottom of the board.The hydroplane hull uses the water it is on for lift rather than buoyancy, as well as speed, drive and manoeuvrability. When travelling at high speed, water is forced downwards by the hydroplane.The water therefore exerts an equal and opposite force upwards, giving that feeling of lift.This in turn, allows bigger boards to not compromise on performance. Leaving you with loads of float to paddle into waves, while still maintaining the feeling of being on a high performance board!
