Firewire TJ Hull Rider buying guide
The TJ Hull Rider is a displacement-hull longboard — a design concept that uses hydrodynamic hull shaping on the bottom of the board to generate lift and speed through water displacement rather than planing. It is a genuinely different feel from a standard flat-bottom longboard.
Displacement hull — what does it mean?
A displacement hull has a curved, V-shaped or rounded bottom that pushes water aside rather than planing over it. At low speeds a displacement hull generates more forward momentum than a standard flat-bottom board. The sensation is smoother, more glide-like — the board feels like it is pulling itself forward rather than being pushed. It rewards trim and flow rather than aggressive turning.
Who is the TJ Hull Rider for?
The TJ Hull Rider is a specialist board — best for experienced longboarders who want to explore different board feels and have already developed their longboard technique. It is not the best starting longboard, but for the right surfer it is a genuinely exciting riding experience.
