The Allure of Hulls?

[SD_PB]

Hey everyone, I have a simple question - What do you guys like so much about your hull surfboards?

My quiver consists of logs, eggs, fishes, and a glider but I have yet to ride a hull. It seems like they need a really good, lined up wave and that they don't turn so well. I assume they must feel incredible by how everyone on here seems to love them and would love it if one of you can try and describe the feeling.

Pardon my ignorance on the topic. I am not challenging anyone and, rather, would just love to hear more about them from you all. Thanks in advance!

ABCs of Displacement hulls

I get the impression there is a lot of variation on these designs. I'm interested but don't know where to start. Who shapes them? Liddle, Andreini, but who else? Do they work backside? Are they worthless in anything other than curvy point surf?

Small Hulls

Aight party people. I surf beach breaks in NYC and LI, rarely east of a place that rhymes with Speedo, preferring to ride these when its lined up off a jetty (dont we all)... I like my 8’6 Clandestino and 6’8 Tri-plane Hull but have always wanted an 6’ish Arc Tail Hull. I‘m waiting for Manny to...

Videos of good hull surfing

just picked up a 7'2" vaquero to add to the quiver. I have ridden fish and long boards prior to this and wanted to try something in between. I have a rough idea of how a hull board should be ridden but was wanting to see some videos of the hull ridden perfectly. Plus this will allow for a...

Hulls Explained?

I am looking to better understand hull boards and what they are, the difference between types, and how they surf? Not sure what is meant by a "hull entry" board, "displacement" hull, "planing" hull etc. Also have heard fin placement is different on these and that they surf differently? Given...

Just round bottom board pics

I hope that if you, like me, enjoy beautiful, smooth, round bottoms, then you will be compelled to trade many many photos of your favorite convex water toys here. Multiple pictures of the same boards welcome! They don't put anything good on the back of cereal boxes anymore. Got to figure out...

I like how you can surf shitty and then blame it on the board

A guy was surfing my local reef on a long hull with low rocker and really bladed rails and he couldn’t bottom turn it for sh$t… just slipped out all the time.
Made me think… I don’t think hulls are for me.

Thank you! I’ll read through the forums. I’ve watched a ton of videos of people surfing hulls and nothing ever really stood out enough to make me go “wow I get it!” That being said I have to think it’s more of a feeling thing. I’ll do some reading but may report back with some questions

I’ve seen that before as well but when someone is surfing it well it looks fun… kinda. Idk every wave that looks good for a hull I rather bring out a fish in I feel like.

there's a really special feeling to the way a knifey railed hull cuts through the water when you're trimming along on a wave...that's about it

Thanks man, I appreciate the explanation!

When you're trimming in hi gear or doing swoops up and down the line there's a feeling like you're getting away with something you shouldn't be given the knifey rails, flat rocker and outline. Cliche, but it really does boil down to a feeling.
