The Allure of Hulls?

It’s about the feeling and connection with the wave and how the board, when balanced right, slots itself into the powerful part of the wave and takes off with little, to no rider input.once they hook up they run through gears going as fast as the wave is.lock in and go with the flow.
I love how I can get high and tight in the pocket, very parallel to the wave and just fly. Also, the feeling of a perfect swooping rail carved bottom turn, then slide back up into the pocket is so amazing for me... also, that tight drop/turn and burn on waves with a wall and power... Also,... well, you get the idea! 
Yeah that high and tight in the pocket really shows through when I’ve watched videos. Looks like the trim feeling there is top notchI love how I can get high and tight in the pocket, very parallel to the wave and just fly.

There is a certain feeling to them, as has been mentioned. Few people surf them amazingly, but those who do, “shred.” Lined up clean walls annd you’re on your front side and you’re stoked that you’re on one. Not those ideal conditions and you wish you weren’t . If you’re wanting to get into them I think the mpe wildcat is a good starting option plus all the volume get you in early. Manny Caro also makes a user friendly one. I also have been told that hulls with side bites make the transition easier. This pic looks like something you see often but to do this on a hull is crazy difficult. I rode a liddle for years when I was during sunset cliffs and loved the board, moved and surf more beach breaks and it rarely made an appearance.

Everyone covered it already but Dane's line about the speed gun has always rung very true for me...

Killer compendium... Thank you!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?jamboards.com

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...jamboards.com

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...jamboards.com
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...jamboards.com
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...jamboards.com

ICH's rundown is priceless and true.
Sidenote: I recently had someone comment on one of my pics from Indo asking if I brought any hulls on the trip. No fricking way. But I have had a few of those moments nearer to point conception that will make you keep one or two in the quiver.

I'm sure Dane would have adapted to the CJ Nelson 7' Outlier (being a "cheater" hull) in a very short span of time. Would be fun to see him surf one.Everyone covered it already but Dane's line about the speed gun has always rung very true for me...
