8'0 Da Regulator Hybrid
Overview
The Hybrid line bridges the gap between a traditional shortboard and a soft-top. Inside is a real fiberglass surfboard, topped with a textured EVA foam deck. You get the drive, response, and control of a traditional board with the comfort and forgiveness of a soft-top.
Real surfboard construction. The Hybrid starts with an EPS core, a carbon fiber stringer running nearly tip to tip, and fiberglass construction on both the top and bottom. Reinforced rails add durability, while the textured EVA foam deck sits over the glassed board to provide a softer riding surface.
A shape built for performance. A more performance-driven outline and lower volume than our classic softboards deliver a more responsive feel through turns and overall performance. Still forgiving enough to keep things fun, but built to be ridden harder.
More drive. More control. The stiff, reinforced fiberglass bottom delivers drive and projection through turns, giving surfers the response they need to push their surfing further.
Futures fin system. Reinforced Futures fin boxes let you fine-tune your setup with quality fins that suit your style and the conditions.
Designed and tested by surfers. Refined through multiple rounds of testing with Jamie and the team before reaching production.
Real surfboard performance. Soft-top fun.

Why Ride the Hybrid
The Hybrid line is for surfers who have the basics down and want a softboard that pushes back. Same Fun Day build quality, tuned for more drive and control.
Performance-leaning shape. A narrower, lower-volume outline than our classic softboards, so the board responds when you push it. Still forgiving enough to be fun, just built to be ridden harder.
The Fun Day core build. EPS core, triple bamboo stringers running nearly tip to tip, reinforced rails, and a smooth IXPE deck. The same durability story as the rest of the line: built to resist creasing, foam peel, and water logging.
Reinforced bottom for drive. A stiffer, reinforced bottom adds the rail drive and projection a stepping-up surfer wants, without giving up the soft-deck forgiveness that makes a session fun.
Futures fin system. Real Futures boxes, reinforced and ready for proper fins, so you can dial in your setup instead of riding throwaway soft-top fins.
Designed and tested by surfers. Refined through multiple rounds of real testing with Jamie and the team before it reached production.

Jeremy M. 5/5 Verified
Great pair of shorts that are super comfortable. Only complaint is the back pocket zipper broke on first use, so I pretty much have an unusable back pocket. Other than that, love the shorts.

Everything I have ordered is excellent quality.
Devin D. 5/5 Verified
Great quality but there is something missing. I was a supporter of Stay Psyched and it felt genuine. This feels a little bit cooperate. Don't get me wrong its a great sweat shirt but its not Stay Psyched merch.

This board is an absolute barrel rider! First session on it and made countless barrels, the lightness and responsiveness is on another level I had never experienced on a soft top / Hybrid board! Stay Psyched!!!!

Really love the hoodie! Super soft and looks nice, love the extra touch with the lighting bolt pin! I didn’t give it a 5 star only because Im a fan of more baggy sleeves.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great customer service and fast shipping! I ordered a boogie board from Fun Day Surf for my daughter, and when I noticed the order hadn’t shipped yet, I reached out to them. They were very responsive and took care of the order that same day. I ended up receiving the boogie board the very next day! Really impressed with their communication and customer service. I’ll definitely be ordering from Fun Day Surf again!
