AXIS 98 Whitewater Paddle Board

Hydrus stands behinds its guarantee.

I had a problem with my board (the first problem ever with any of my three Hydrus boards), and Hydrus replaced the board right away. The whole process of sending my board back and receiving my replacement board took just one week. Hydrus stands behind its guarantee. When I need another board, I won’t even look elsewhere. Six stars.

Fantastic paddleboard for rapids and whitwater paddleboarding

Coming from an iRocker paddle board, this AXS 98 paddle board is a whole other level of quality. It was very durable in my uses, and it has gone through two floats over rapids and performed fantastically. My other buddies were constantly dragging and clipping the bottom of the riverbed while my Axis 98 glided over rocks even in 6 inches of water. It comes with a variety of fins that work fantastically for skinny water and tight rapid scenarios. Using the combo of its four smallest fins still gives you the control necessary while allowing you to travel in extremely shallow water. Additionally, this is the first paddleboard I've ever been able to stand up on confidently going through rapid sections. The width of the board is very beneficial in being able to stabilize in the rapids, as well as being able to confidently put more weight on one side of the board in order to accomplish sharp turns and cross current paddling in the middle of a rapid section. This board is also very comfortable on your knees, and the material on the top has a good grip for your shoes as you are standing on the board and applying force on either side.

Exchange

Found the axis 9. 9 to be too long BUT no problem exchanging for the 8. 8. This is the best company I've dealt with! Also worth mentioning that I have the ufo hardboard and it 's been awesome. Thank you Jason, Nick and Angela!
