A Customer's Testimonial: Exploring the Joy of Fishing with Hydrus Paddle Boards

At Hydrus, we take pride in crafting paddle boards that not only stand out in performance but also create unforgettable experiences. There’s nothing more rewarding than hearing directly from our customers about their adventures on the water. Recently, we received an incredible email from an enthusiastic Hydrus paddle board user who shared their journey of fishing with our boards. Their passion for paddle board fishing is inspiring, and we wanted to highlight their experience, as it truly encapsulates what Hydrus is all about.

"Jason and Angela,

I read your blog on fishing with Hydrus paddle boards.  I love the use of my photo fully stacked board ready to launch in the mangroves of Florida.  My processes have evolved and the DIY setup continues to be more efficient with my setup.  Fishing with your paddle boards is pure joy.  The unique experience is unmatched and has allowed me to chase stripers in Cape Cod, meander down the St. Croix River, paddle my kids while they fish, explore flats on the fly rod with the next destination in Dominican Republic later this month. Hydrus boards are simply different, I have not been on anything that compares to the stability on the water, yet its portability to travel opens opportunities that previously did not exist.  I pitch your product to everyone who inquires about the setup, which is pretty much everywhere I travel I get "what is that setup" or "you're going out there with that".  Full confidence in the product.  I have been in some sketchy situations, but always feel confident in my setup.  Wanted to share some photos of the Joy we have been having over the past few seasons.  

An Evolving DIY Setup for Maximum Efficiency

Our customer first discovered Hydrus several years ago. On their journey in the mangroves of Florida (see the original picture in the 'Fishing From A Paddleboard' blog), they tested out a fully stacked board, prepped for a day of adventure. Since then, their DIY setup has evolved, becoming more efficient with each outing. Fishing with Hydrus paddle boards is more than just a sport for them—it’s a pure joy, an unmatched experience that has taken them to incredible destinations.

From Cape Cod to the Caribbean: A Journey Like No Other

One of the most exciting aspects of paddle board fishing is the ability to explore diverse waters, and this Hydrus enthusiast has done just that. Their board has allowed them to chase stripers in Cape Cod, navigate the scenic St. Croix River, and create unforgettable memories while paddling their kids as they fish. Next on their list? Exploring the flats of the Dominican Republic with a fly rod in hand.

The versatility of our paddle boards enables anglers to venture into remote locations that would otherwise be inaccessible. Whether it’s saltwater or freshwater, flats or mangroves, Hydrus boards make every fishing trip an adventure.

The Hydrus Difference: Stability and Portability in One

One thing that sets Hydrus apart is the unique balance of stability and portability. Our boards provide the confidence needed to handle sketchy situations while maintaining the ability to travel with ease. As our customer expressed in their email, they’ve never been on anything that compares to the stability of a Hydrus board. Yet, the portability of our products has opened up opportunities they never thought possible.

Wherever they go, people take notice of their setup. Whether it’s inquiring about the board itself or expressing disbelief at the idea of fishing from a paddle board, the response is always the same—Hydrus boards spark curiosity and excitement. The ability to pitch our products with full confidence is a testament to the trust our customers have in our craftsmanship.
