LibTech – Lost Hydra | 6.1
”The Hydra is the most advanced small wave board I have ever created! It melds more than 25 years of small wave fish and mini wave hybrids. Built around an overall low rocker paired to an almost traditional “fish” outline featuring a “locked in” snowboard influenced sidecut outline, speedy forgiving double concave chined ’Hydra-hull’, a rail shortening bite increasing split diamond tail and a flat-ish deck with forgiving rails adds flexibility and allows radical surfing with wide tails.” – Matt Biolos

TECHNOLOGICALLY TOUGHER – ENVIRONMENTALLY NICER!
Lib Tech is dedicated to board riding and hands on high tech board building. We have spent a lifetime of surfing, shaping and working with alternative, high performance, environmentally friendly materials and constructions. Traditional surfboard construction has always felt too fragile and the build process is toxic and unhealthy for the planet and craftspeople. We know there had to be a way…
Mike Olson and our experiMENTAL division applied our 35+ years of hands on board building experience to the task of building a better surfboard. In the process we completely rewrote the book on surfboard construction. Every component we use in our ecoIMPACTO surf construction is completely new to the surf industry. Our Thermo fusion process radically minimizes resin exposure and sanding while creating amazingly durable, environmentally friendly, high performance surf structures that will free your mind and lift your surfing to new heights.
