The HydroCush Redline boards take “maximizing fun” to a whole new level! Don’t call it a soft top - these boards are so much more. The HydroCush line combines a hard bottom including all of the high-performance features that Stewart shapes are known for with a user-friendly EVA foam deck. The result is a board that is more durable than a glassed board, safer than a hard board, and rides way better than a foamie. What’s more fun than that? Every Stewart HydroCush board is built to last and made to advance your surfing while putting a smile on your face! A shaped EPS blank makes up the core of the Stewart HydroCush boards, hand-finished with precision and the highest attention to detail. Perfectly blended concaves and flawlessly foiled rails make these boards faster, looser, and more responsive than you ever thought a soft top could be. A real wood stringer from tip to tail provides the ideal flex and a wood veneer wrap maxes out strength and durability. Custom EVA on the deck gives it a surprisingly soft yet grippy feel. HydroCush is your magic carpet to fun — no need for messy wax. This unique construction will make your turns feel solid and stable, while the time-tested, tried and true Stewart shapes ensure responsiveness and unparalleled performance. Our world-famous best-selling board, the Redline11, offered in the new HydroCush construction for the first time ever! The ultimate all-around longboard, the Redline11 is our most user-friendly board and will instantly level up your surfing, whether you’re just coming off of your first few lessons or are a more advanced surfer who’s looking for a durable addition to their quiver that is still super responsive and fun to surf. Bill calls this the “best all-around longboard he’s ever designed” for good reason! Its features are time-tested and proven to perform. The nose bottom has a deep single concave that continues back past the halfway point. This concave is what makes the Redline 11 paddle, turn and nose ride exceptionally great. That single concave flows into a double concave with a heavy V in the rounded pin tail, which makes it loose, fast and easy to ride. Bill invented the beveled rail over 30 years ago, and it lifts the rail edge making it really forgiving on the drop-in and in rail to rail turns. The included 2 1 fin set-up (another Bill Stewart invention) features 2 short wide rail fins forward giving the board drive while keeping it loose. The larger center back fin holds the board in the pocket when riding up on the nose.
