Anderson Hydrant Deck (8.4)

The Hydrant 7-ply deck is a dialed-in, more precise version of Andy's Vajra.

While the Vajra shape was a challenge to develop, this one came easily to Andy. Reminiscent of the original Heron shape but smaller and symmetrical, it measures 8.25" at the waist, just under 8.5" at the widest, and has a 14.25" wheelbase. The square edge and slightly curved nose and tail deliver solid, stable pop, while the K26 concave and inner cuts create a front-foot pocket that makes Tre Flips and Varial Heelflips easier to flick. With its streamlined shape, pop, and responsive feel, the Hydrant shape is solid gold.
