New to the site so will begin with hello!
I have come across a board for sale but can’t seem to find any information on the board itself online. I believe it is from Australia.
It’s a a Hydralite Fish Board 6”10!
A google search for Hydralite doesn’t reveal much at all. I only have a picture of the underside for now, hope it helps.
Any information anyone? Thanks

Looks to be the Hydra lite "Whale Tail" model ( maybe the 6'10" ? ). The newer logo 7'2" Fish looks a bit different.

I would believe it's made in China.

Thanks for the response.
How come when I google this board there isn’t really any information on the brand etc?
Is it worth having in your opinion?

I haven't found google very good at finding information on Chinese surfboards. The value of a board is such a personal thing. I would call that board a swallow tail stinger thruster. It looks like something I would enjoy riding at my current state of learning. I guess the question is twofold. One is that the right board for you? Two is it worth the price? If it was free definitely worth the price. I don't know the answers otherwise.

thanks oldmansurfer.
I guess we will find out it’s true value on the weekend when I take it out on the water.

Let us know how it goes. It's a wide board with a stinger which makes it wider in front than in back and a swallow tail too so giving it a wide tail for more push to catch the wave but acting like a narrower tail turning because it's split so probably quicker to go rail to rail especially if there is a v by the tail. At 6'10 it is 2 inches shorter than my shortest board and probably okay for me although I am 210 pounds and 64 years old. I have caught triple overhead waves with my 7 foot board so I should be able to handle it okay. But the question is can you handle it? So let us know.
