Hubboards Houston Quad Core Flex Sci-Five Black/Tangerine Bodyboard Size Chart

The Houston QuadCore FLEX by Hubboards combines Jared Houston’s world-champion shape with a more flexible, dynamic version of the revolutionary QuadCore technology.

This model uses the same fast, narrow and ultra‑responsive template Jared used to win the 2018 World Title, but incorporates the new QuadCore FLEX core, designed for riders who want more controlled flex and a livelier feel under the body.

🚀 QuadCore FLEX Technology

The QuadCore FLEX technology uses:

• Lower‑density 1.2 PP core
• Double integrated Mesh layer
• Greater dynamic, controlled flex
• Excellent recoil and projection
• A smoother, more reactive feel

Unlike the traditional QuadCore (1.9 PP), this version:

• Flexes more easily
• Works especially well in:
  • Powerful, vertical waves
  • Cold water
  • Riders seeking more sensitivity and response

🌊 Sci-Five Channel System

The famous Sci-Five system incorporates 5 hydrodynamic channels that:

• Increase overall speed
• Improve control and responsiveness
• Reduce drag thanks to the cavitation effect
• Generate lift in the tail

With the rail engaged:

• Traction increases dramatically
• Manoeuvrability stays very smooth
• Spinners, launches and fast carves are easier

The narrow 18" channels allow maximum freedom of movement in the pocket.

🔥 Shape and feel:

The “Houston” outline offers:

• Straight, narrow shape
• Explosive speed
• Quick direction changes
• Excellent response for technical prone riding

Ideal for advanced riders looking for precision and aggressive surfing.
