HAYDENSHAPES "COHORT 1" INITIAL THOUGHTS - THE SURFBOARD GUIDE

Welcome to the Initial Thoughts of the Haydenshapes Cohort - the full surfboard review of the Cohort will be live in the coming weeks!

I have been riding the Cohort in the stock 5'11 x 19 1/2 x 2 1/2 - 31L, which is one of the two stock 5'11 dimensions the Cohort comes in - bravo to Haydenshapes for offering multiple volumes/dimensions in each board length!

The COHORT series is a new collection of models designed for versatile performance, yet each in a different genre. Cohort 1 is the staple shortboard in the lineup, which rides fast and free.

Building upon a rocker line used in many of the HS shortboards; it allows this board to be effortless and fast flowing between turns. A balanced volume distribution throughout parts performance and sensitivity at the forefront, whilst allowing for paddling ease.

A medium to deep single to double concave generates plenty of lift for surfing typical, everyday conditions - whilst still delivering the control needed for when the waves light up. Our up cycled FutureFlex heel & toe glass/carbon patches are made from manufacturing waste which also add great compressive durability to the tail of your board.

Sized up to be ridden in your standard shortboard dimensions and litres, it's the all purpose solider in your quiver.

We will have the full review coming soon - but if you have any questions, recommendations on fins you'd like to see in the review etc, please comment, or connect with us on Instagram @thesurfboardguide
