The swell has been perfect for board testing. Rode @jkb 's old deathstar today felt perfect. Definitely a small learning curve since i've been riding more traditional style boards, but still so much fun! Stoked on the board JKB!NCSD v Central Cal. "Hey this 5'1 Death Star should be good up here." First swell hits: "Can someone point me toward a 7'4 mini gun"
Stocked! It was definitely magic for me. Glad it worked out for you!The swell has been perfect for board testing. Rode @jkb 's old deathstar today felt perfect. Definitely a small learning curve since i've been riding more traditional style boards, but still so much fun! Stoked on the board JKB!
I call sloppy thirds on the death starStocked! It was definitely magic for me. Glad it worked out for you!
I have three different Hydroshorts. One is a 5’5 and the two other ones are 5’6. I think the design has a wide outline and could be sized down unless you’re surfing big waves then I would size it like your normal short board Volume.Hi guys,
For those who have the hydroshort, can I have some advice on volume?
Im 81Kg (plus 4/3 wetsuit) surfing average (small) waves. Is the 6'0 at 34.7L too much? I could grab a 2nd hand one but it feels to big for me. I usually surf around 31L..
I will list the board in my trust. Upon My passing the board shall be gifted to Rattimus. Haha.I call sloppy thirds on the death star

I haven’t surfed the Hydroshort, but based on my other Tomo board experience I would not over volume his designs. Especially if you get the Firewire Helium version.Hi guys,

Yes, 6’ is too big. Stay with your usual vol, so a 5.10 would be good...Hi guys,

Thanks! I think I will be able to grab a 5'10 second hand.I haven’t surfed the Hydroshort, but based on my other Tomo board experience I would not over volume his designs. Especially if you get the Firewire Helium version.
Hope that helps.
I´m 75Kg and I have a 5´8 Hydroshort (28,3 liters). I also have a 5´4 EVO Timbertek (29 liters) and a 5´6 Omni (29,4). The Omni is the board I use for bigger waves (overhead) with some punch. It does not like soft waves or smaller waves.Turns out its a 5'9 (29.8L), but I think i'll go for it, although I would feel more confident with a little more volume.
Also there is a 5'7 Omni and 5'5 Helium Evo available..
Which would you add to the Hydro?
The Omni and Hydroshort have a similar range. The Hydroshort is more of an everyday all-arounder vs. the Omni is suited for more hollow waves (due to the rocker template). The Evo is more of an all-arounder as well, however with the full rails and wide retangular outline it gets a bit skatey in bigger surf.Turns out its a 5'9 (29.8L), but I think i'll go for it, although I would feel more confident with a little more volume.

I personally would get the Evo for the smaller or mushier waves and keep the Hydroshort for everything else.
I'm sorry for your loss. lol. You should find comfort that your boards went to good homes though. Nothing worse that selling a magic board to someone that wont appreciate it or that wont value it for what its worth. Got any pics on that one?Sad day for me.
Just sold my magic Hydronaut. A fantastic board that got me a lot of good waves, but just wasn't realistic for my current situation. I hate selling magic boards, but sometimes you just have to let them go.
I'm confident it went to a good home though.
Thanks man. I know this one, the Psyko, and the Deathstar went to good homes. I will take solace. Here's some pics.I'm sorry for your loss. lol.
