The Hydra incorporates many proven features from the Lost back catalogue of small wave fish and sized down hybrids like the Puddle Jumper, Bottom Feeder, Pelagic and more recently the RNF Retro. The outline is close to a traditional fish (apart from the tail!) and the rocker as you’d expect is low for paddle speed and early wave entry.
The most noticeable design details which set the Hydra apart from the myriad of fish out there are the double concave, chined “Hydra Hull” and the “Split Diamond” tail.“A design I first learned from Jim Fuller in the mid ’80’s and is featured in our classic Bottom Feeder Model. A similar style of “hull” was designed, popularized and perfected by Bill Stewart as the “Hydro-Hull” for decades. Like a single concave; it allows the use of more curve through the rocker (which makes proper turning and vertical surfing a lot easier) by cutting through and adding lift and speed. With very wide boards single concave bottoms easily get sticky and want to stay flat on the face, the chined bevels add release, free up the board from rail to rail and encourage 3D rail surfing, as opposed to simply skating fast on the surface, like so many traditional Fish” – Matt Biolos.
The Hydra’s tail is really very clever, incorporating proven characteristics of both Diamond and Swallow tails. The notched-out tail reduces the length of the stringer and thereby minimises the surface area behind your back foot which in turn delivers ‘bite’ and control to a wide tail surfboard. The ‘Double Diamond’ tail is in effect a swallow tail with the corners cut off, which reduces the length of the rail which in turn significantly reduces the turning radius. This tail design allows the rider to carry speed through turns with a tighter arc and without scrubbing too much speed off in the process.
We can’t wait to get our hands on this stunning (it really is very nice to look at!) small wave weapon, it looks like the best possible blend of traditional fish and contemporary performance groveller, to light-up those small summer days when its waist high and glassy.The Lost Hydra will electrify anything from knee high windy chop to perfectly groomed shoulder high walls and the odd head high sesh at a push! Mayhem’s latest small wave offering is an inclusive craft; appealing to intermediates looking for a stable and easy paddling summer ride and the rippers and freaks are going to love the ‘crowd pleasing’ performance the Hydra has dialled in.
