The HydroCush Pigme 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. The insane speed of the HydroCush Pigme alternative shortboard is versatile and fun for all conditions! As a kid’s first shortboard or a more seasoned shortboarder’s fun mush-killer, it’s sure to put a smile on your face. The Pigme is designed to sizzle down the line and beat unbeatable sections. Low entry rocker and crazy width give it insane paddle power, while the slight beak nose delivers that classic styling with more volume in the nose to catch waves earlier. It’s got our signature single to double concave which flows into a flat, super wide tail, giving it stability and incredible planing efficiency on dead water. You’ll be speeding down the line and connecting the dots betweensections. When turning in the pocket, the hip curve gives you a sharper turning radius and a nice slide release that reengages with the rail, setting back into and around the next section.
