Phase 5 or Doomswell Nubstep
Trying to decide, Phase 5 Hammerhead or DW Nubstep. I am 6’ 220. Only my second year and ready to excel. Just looking for feedback on your experience between the two.
Thanks

Hybrid is kind of a misused/overused term I think—most surf style retain some hybrid features. In other words, different folks call them different things. I would not get too hung up on that. Either you want full tilt skim, or a surfy hybrid kinda thingie which 85% of the rest are.
For the money, no better board than a custom Sixer from Chaos. Hand shaped, glassed. Surfy-Hybridy mix, mostly surf. Also custom RacerX from the same guy—sharper rails. I have both.
Slightly more money, but Soulcraft DaHonu, blunt nose DaHonu, or Voodoo are fast as heck, have a hybrid flavor, light as a feather. I have the VooDoo. Surf buddies have one each of the two DaHonus.
All of these are very fast, forgiving, and will take you as far as you want to go. Excellent boards.
The two you’ve named are very popular and for sure fun. But better can be had, I guess? Probably not going to be the limiting factor in how good you get, but heck, do it right the first time?
Opinion opinion opinion. Remember that. But I have owned 25 boards in 4 years in approximate terms. And having what I have above listed leaves me wanting nothing more.
Best of luck!

I had also narrowed down my choices to the Nubstep or Hammerhead. With other options having already been mentioned and most likely others still to come, I may have to reevaluate. I will definitely be following this thread and look forward to seeing what people have to say.

Get a custom soul craft or Parker surfcraft as well as chaos
Each one will design your needs into the board
FYI Parkersurfcraft is a moomba owner and forum member
My personal favorite is the PSA Day at the Lake...Priceless
A Day in Powder...Endless

I just picked up a 56” doomswell carbon skim hybrid. Anxious to try it. I was gonna go with a hammerhead, but wanted to buy local on top of everything. As much as I wanna learn to ride backward, I figure the spin part is more important first!
I have a surf style, just need something faster and loose.
I personally think hybrid boards are cool. I know I’m never gonna be a master of anything back there anymore and I’m not made of $$ to have $1400 of boards floating around the boat.
I doubt you’ll regret either board. Or any of the Soulcraft, never heard anyone say anything negative.Overkill is underrated
