Volume Hybrid-X by Richie Lovett

The Volume Hybrid-X is the third iteration of the Hybrid series with a focus on better paddle efficiency, start-up speed, and stability up front. With the wide point and thickness pushed forward to maximize foam distribution under the chest and towards the rails, this the best paddler of the Hybrid series. Rail: 50% Drive & Speed / 50% Pivot & ResponseContours: Front – Subtle Single ConcaveBack – Subtle Single + Double ConcaveWave size: 1–6 Ft (Ankle High – Overhead) Volume Hybrid-X CSE Design The design goal with the Hybrid-X was to create a board that paddled into waves really easy, then once up and riding, the back half of the board performs like a high performance shortboard.

The entry rocker has been relaxed to allow for quicker start-up
