Hydro Epic's new technology composite surf boards were unveiled at the ASR trade show in San Diego. All of the boards were shaped by legendary shaper Dick Brewer and were specifically designed to take advantage of high tech materials for maximum performance surfing. The three boards introduced were: the Pro 1 Short 6'2", the Pro 2 Semi 6'6" and the P5 Hybrid 7'8". Two more Brewer shapes, a 9' 6" competition long board and a 5' 11" swallow tail are in pre-production as well.

There was a definite "buzz" at the Brewer/Plumeria booth all weekend, as dealers and other top shapers came by to see the new ultra light, ultra strong carbon fiber/Kevlar boards.

"It was a fantastic show for us" said Mark Geist, CEO of Hydro Epic. "Working in conjunction with Dick Brewer is amazing because he's dedicated to high performance surfboards and so are we. People saw our boards up close for the first time so we were encouraged by the excitement they created" said Geist. The 2004 ASR attracted over 1,500 exhibitors and traffic was brisk throughout the three day show.

Hydro Epic creates surfboards utilizing materials and manufacturing concepts taken from the marine and airplane industries to create high performance surfboards that are lightweight and durable.

Hydro Epic surfboards will be showcased on the Travel Channel in the show "Travel Gear," October 5, 2004 5pm EST - 2pm PST.
