I designed and developed Hybrids about 15-20 years ago. I didn’t like riding thin, narrow boards, and I couldn’t get my “quota”. The Hybrid is just a fuller designed shortboard with a little more “ears” up on the nose. The bottoms and rocker can be what ever you like. When AM first saw my boards, he asked “what’s this” ? and that was the beginning of the hybrids popularity. Most of the shapers use Vee bottoms….All of mine have a running Inverted Vee with some Vee just under the nose to cut the chop, and I have my own custom rocker. The Hybrid design is faster, looser, and can hold a higher line on the face. They also paddle better than most other boards because of their volume. As long as they are foiled right, there’s no problem. For bigger and/or older guys, it’s the best design on the market today. The one downside that they do have is that in really choppy, bumpy, windy blown surf, they are difficult to control…but,(read on)
Hybrids also have a wider range of surf that they will perform well in….anything from 2-3′ up to 10′…perfect for traveling…or if you can only afford one board and you don’t want a 9′ longboard,….get a Hybrid !
They paddle great, and are fast and loose ! Aloha, George

It kind of depends on your physical ability, and where you surf…Off hand I would lean towards something in the 7’6 range, 22+ width,
2.75″ EPS or better, 3 1/8 PU or thicker…. good luck ! gk

Aloha George,
I surf here on Oahu and I was looking for a fish surfboard. Your boards look like what I am looking for. I am about 235 lbs. I like to turn and drop in late, etc.. What kind of size board do you recommend for me?
