The Lib Tech Surfboards x Lost Glydra surfboard.
The Glydra has been a smash hit in the Lost surfboards range and is now available in the 'dang difficult to ding and environmentally nicer' Lib Tech offering. If you want to catch more waves but not sacrifice performance in a board that is super durable then read on!
The Glydra is the big brother to the excellent Hydra model, all the good bits of the Hydra but longer! There are loads of good mid lengths out there to choose from so the Glydra needed a point of difference. The Hydra was viewed initially as a full on groveler but anyone who surfed one quickly realised it had a lot more to offer in terms of performance, the same is true of the Glydra it actually surfs much better than you would ever imagine.
How do you get performance into a board like this you might well ask, well the sidecut of the board is clever, it locks in through turns but releases too so the board feels rock solid through turns and holds speed too. The double concave through the single hull concave generates lift and speed with ease. The rocker line is perfectly balanced with the fin positioning and concaves to allow the board to turn way more tightly than it should. Really didn't want to like this board this much but its such a cleverly designed and well thought out board its hard not to love it!
There is so much design detail here that there is a danger of being overloaded so best to watch our video review where we cover off the tail design and all the other aspects of the design.
The Glydra is a long fish, mini glider, funboard all rolled into one, it kind of defies description but we'll sit it in the mid length category for now. Sizing is easyish, as with all mid lengths think about the waves you're going to be surfing in and what you want the board to do for you, if you want glide go bigger, if you want performance go smaller.
The board has a 5 fin set up so you have multiple fin options, we found a biggish quad set worked really well but we will definitely try it as a twin + trailer too especially when the waves are small and weak.
As surfers we've all dreamed about owning a high performance surfboard with all the positive attributes of a traditional PU board but with none of the inherent fragility that comes with this construction.
Lib Tech are changing everything you know about surfboards and everything you thought was possible in surfboard construction. Using 31 brand-new components to the surf industry and calling on 30 years of experience constructing environmentally friendly surfboards, skateboards and snowboards, it was inevitable that Lib Tech were going to produce some remarkable surfboards using this ground breaking, environmentally friendly manufacturing process. Each of the Lib Tech is handcrafted in the USA with an unwavering focus on building THE toughest high performance surfboards in the world with a commitment to operating in an environmentally responsible manner.
The construction process uses a Nitrogen cell Foam (25-40% recycled content) core for maximum strength and pop. The foam is closed cell, completely waterproof and won't absorb water.
Hexzylon Fibre Foam Skin, this is a smooth, strong, impact and ding resistant layer with the signature Hex pattern.
Next comes the unique Woven Basalt Fibre which is additive free super strong and resists heel dents.
The Bio-Matrix Resin is super strong and environmentally friendly with the best flex qualities of traditional PU and a longer lifespan than Epoxy.
Lib Tech surfboards are fitted with the lightest and toughest fin boxes on the market which are compatible with Pro Box, FCS, and all FCS dual tab style fins. They also use Sprock Blocks at the tail to add even more durability to the most fragile areas on the board. Even the leash plug has been given the same attention with 6061 T6 Aircraft aluminium pins and lightweight fibre composite cups.
"Since I first saw Lib Tech's ECO ISO construction, I wanted to build a board with it. The strength to weight ratio, eco minded materials and techniques, and the fact that this tech was being built in the USA was incredibly interesting to me. I am stoked that the time has finally come and hope people enjoy riding them as we have enjoyed building them." - Matt Biolos
