Hyda
Founded in Ojai, California, a stone's throw from Rincon, HYDA was born from our founder Terry Simms' passion for surfing and commitment to safety. Our mission is simple: to enable a long, safe, and inspired life in watersports, without the lingering effects of repeated impacts. We're here for those who live and breathe the ocean - the surfers, lifeguards, water safety professionals and workforce. We respect the power of the ocean and the sports and lives it nurtures. This reverence drives our relentless pursuit of excellence in every product we create. From the drawing board to the final stitch, buckle, pad, strap and shell, we never forget our primary role: to protect you. Our approach to crafting the highest quality safety products is rooted in innovation, rigorous testing, and a deep understanding of the demands of water sports.
