The Volume Hybrid-X is the third iteration of the Hybrid series with a focus on better paddle efficiency, start-up speed, and stability up front. With the wide point and thickness pushed forward to maximize foam distribution under the chest and towards the rails, this the best paddler of the Hybrid series.
Rail: 50% Drive & Speed / 50% Pivot & Response
Contours: Front – Subtle Single Concave
Back – Subtle Single + Double Concave
Wave size: 1–6 Ft (Ankle High – Overhead)
NSP Volume Hybrid-X CSE Design
The design goal with the Hybrid-X was to create a board that paddled into waves really easy, then once up and riding, the back half of the board performs like a high performance shortboard. The tail measurement on this model is narrower compared to the Hybrid and Hybrid+, so when your back foot is planted over the fins, it will respond and turn on demand and also hold-in nicely when the waves are steeper and more powerful.
The entry rocker has been relaxed to allow for quicker start-up acceleration and speed from the take-off. This design tweak is also a bonus when the waves are flatter, and you have to work the board for speed. Lastly, the concaves have been softened to enhance the feelings of predictability and flow when transitioning from rail-to-rail.
Construction
Built in NSP’s CSE construction with a stringered SecureCell foam core, which compliments the Volume Hybrid X perfectly to deliver a responsive, high-performance hybrid that suits all wave types offering the light tightly durability to match.
Fin recommendation
FCS II Accelerator or Toledo (Predictable feel with added control)
FCS II Reactor (Ideal for perfecting tighter turns)
Who Richie Lovett created the NSP Volume Hybrid-X for:
Fast with lots of flow, the Hybrid X targets the intermediate-to-experienced surfer, wanting a super reliable, performance-based allrounder for small-to-medium size waves. This model is also valid as a travel companion for shredders not wanting to compromise on a performance approach to wave riding.
