The Hydrant 7-ply deck is a dialed-in, more precise version of Andy's Vajra.
While the Vajra shape was a challenge to develop, this one came easily to Andy. Reminiscent of the original Heron shape but smaller and symmetrical, it measures 8.25" at the waist, just under 8.5" at the widest, and has a 14.25" wheelbase. The square edge and slightly curved nose and tail deliver solid, stable pop, while the K26 concave and inner cuts create a front-foot pocket that makes Tre Flips and Varial Heelflips easier to flick. With its streamlined shape, pop, and responsive feel, the Hydrant shape is solid gold.
Width : 8.45"
Length : 32.03"
Wheelbase : 14.25"
Choosing The Right Skateboard
To learn and progress easily, the choice of correct size skateboard is quite important. As you gain more experience, you will know what size you prefer and what works best for you. Until then, we advise that you select your size of deck based on your shoe size.
Please remember that in general:
- A larger/wider deck will be more stable, comfortable and it will be easier to learn the basics such as keeping your balance and kick turns.
- A smaller/skinnier deck will be easier for technical skating and flip tricks.
