The ultimate hybrid surfboard – The Squad<\/h2>\n

\"Hybrid<\/a>Meet the undisputed Hybrid Surfboard Heavyweight champ: The Squad<\/strong>. Designed for surfers who want power, speed, and effortless style, it stands tall as one of the finest hybrid boards available in the UK.<\/p>\n

Now available in two distinct styles<\/strong> \u2014 the original Simmons Hybrid<\/strong> and the all-new Planning Hull Squad 2<\/strong> \u2014 each version comes packed with enhanced features guaranteed to put a smile on your face and elevate your ride.<\/p>\n

THE SQUAD<\/strong><\/p>\n

Put simply, The Squad<\/strong> is our most successful board ever. The fun you get from riding one is unlimited \u2014 it knows no boundaries of wave type or size. It just shreds, wherever you take it.\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

The design has stood the test of time \u2014 over a decade old and still one of the most loved hybrid shapes on the planet. Literally thousands of surfers around the world swear by The Squad for its unbeatable blend of speed, flow, and control<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Wickedly fast and ultra-maneuverable, it skates across the wave like a Mini Simmons, yet holds its line on a steep face like a Step-Up. This board doesn\u2019t just perform \u2014 it flies<\/em><\/p>\n

It could be your perfect travel companion<\/strong> for chasing far-off waves, or your go-to board<\/strong> for those mellow summer slop sessions you can always depend on.<\/p>\n

With multiple fin setups<\/strong> available, The Squad has you covered \u2014 whatever your poison, wherever you paddle out.\"Hybrid<\/a><\/p>\n

The Squad \u2014 Design & Features<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Squad<\/strong> features a hull-to-flat bottom<\/strong> like a Mini Simmons, flowing into a hulled V diamond tail<\/strong> that delivers exceptional drive and control. With multiple fin setup options<\/strong> \u2014 Single with Quad or Tri\/Quad \u2014 you can fine-tune your ride to match any condition.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll want to ride this board a bit shorter than you think<\/strong>. It packs plenty of volume, and the refined shape offers loads of lift, so sizing down brings out its best performance. If you\u2019re unsure which size to go for, just drop me an email<\/strong> \u2014 I\u2019ll help you find your perfect fit.<\/p>\n

The Squad\u2019s shape is essentially a Mini Simmons<\/strong>, but if you cut it off from the front fins and extended the rails by around eight inches through the tail, you\u2019d get this design. The result is a board suited to a wider range of waves. It carries a full nose<\/strong> with straight rails<\/strong> for speed and lift, a slight S-deck<\/strong> to keep volume down up front, and boxy rails<\/strong> in key areas to help it release cleanly from the face for crisp, snappy turns<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Squad Sizes<\/h3>\n

Sizes are available from 5ft6 to 6ft6 in varicose widths and thicknesses, this is a hand shaped surfboard so volume is an approx estimate based. Check out the video below for more info.<\/p>\n
