It is over a year now since Blane started talking about a new direction with his new Hull designs.
The Hull designs originally came from the longer Ocean boards he was developing for Molokai and other Hawaiin ocean races.
Whilst developing the new hulls the boys found that certain designs surfed really well for their length. There are plenty of pics around of Austin hacking on one of the original prototypes.
This is one of the first videos of these longer 'hull' boards in action.
Nice one AA
I love surfing the longer boards in the bay surf pretty much everyone down here in the shire that goes out regularly is on a 12, 12'6 or 14' in the bay surf and the good ones start way back on the bump and come through these new hull paddlers would be awesome for that.
Love to demo when you get some in stock

Looks good AA. Seems like the surfy 12'6 is a bit of trend. The SIC Bullet 12'6 seems to be a bit of a hybrid downwind/surf SUP as well. Like it...
It will be good to get a review of these boards , I love surfing my race boards but this 12,6 could be the tickett for both surfing well and racing too. I would,nt imagine there is to much difference in speed between it and a dedicated race board , but it would go so much better in the waves.
Do you still own the 12r Hilly?
THe hull paddler looks just the thing for those massive days at Isolated
Great surfing vid and really nice looking board, what fin set up is Blane using in that board?
Love the idea of an all rounder 12'6 keen to hear and seem more... When are these avail AA?
Well ive sold my 9'2 ripper , just have to see what else i can sell , rack up some brownie points with the missus and ill be putting my order inJust dreaming of riding those big fat walls that come through the Alley

FINALLY!!
After a hectic day of unpacking, gripping and getting stoked customers out the door we managed to sneak in a session at the BWR yesterday in 3-4'.
This is one fun board! Yeeew!!
There will be plenty of feedback over the next few weeks.
Here are the first impressions of the Hull Ocean Paddler Ripper!
Surfing wise this board will be hard to beat. Step back and she rails.
Glide. Nice and slippery through the water. Need to run side by side with another 12-6 to really measure its speed.
Stability: More stable than expected. Felt like 29 1/2" should.
Weight: 12.5kg bare.
Durability. This is where the hand glassed PVC construction rules. Impressed so far.
Fittings: New handle is cushy when lined with grip.
New Glass centre fin looks the goods.
AA, does this mean you might get off the mountain bike and do the odd race?
Shame we didn't have it at Port Stephens last weekend for the downwinder.

That was the plan Mr NoNoNotSUP! Quarantine spoilt that one.
If I had known it was a 30k down winder I might have canned the MTB.
That looked like one AWESOE frikkin race!
You Aussies are such a spoilt bunch....a multitude of choices & you sometimes moan & whinge a lot......what's the price across the ditch i wonder?
This board looks like it could be a great choice for surfing,flatwater exploring/training or downwinding
New PVC construction should make them pretty durable as well.
Some one needs to buy one up on the Goldy so we can have a demo.
Haaa, had 2hrs on the 12'6 today and it was a blast, you can really surf this thing!
Could have done with this board yesterday and over the last month , its fun catching big fat waves on the 14 , but this board I rekon would be perfect for the big wide ones at the Alley. Geez im gunna have to Rack up the brownie points wih the missus though
i love surfing the big boards. i wonder if its fast enough to be competitive in bop
