Hypto krypto review

[nawgy1979]

What are people's thoughts on the Hypto ?
Been looking at them for a while here in the UK but not sure if they're a limitless over hyped.

Paging Hatchnam ...

They're everywhere here in Australia. Can't comment personally as I haven't ridden one but I've ridden a couple of Hayden's other shapes (regular hp type shapes) & liked them a lot.

Wait & hear Igg's take on them or do a search as they've been briefly talked about in another thread. Maybe the 'Where did you surf today?' one.

I have a mate who rides one and loves it. He is an average surfer and likes the fact that he catches heaps of waves on it and can surf most coditions on it (except the FF technology does not like bumpy/ windy conditions).

I have another mate who tried one in his dimensions over the weekend. Again an avreage surfer. He said it sucked dogs balls and had way too much foam distributed up front for his liking. He could not understand what all the fuss was about.

Message is make up your own mind. You will either like it or you won't.

to me they look like they suit an average to below avearge surfer more than anything due to the increased volume in the front. So they should paddle and plane well.

The other question you need to answer is 'are you hip enough to ride one'?.

They look like a functional board. Whats the drama ... Hey I'm sure if you made one 7' long with a rounded nose and an hibiscus flower design on the deck ... even Iggy would ride one.

I reckon the rail is to low for the volume, it's like standing on a hill of foam. Dogs balls was my view. But some love em.

yeeeeessss TWom TWom. zzzzzz. are you in love with me or something. you seem fixated.
so, tell us then. what do youuuuuuuuu ride ?? ............... no actually, dont.

FWIW, out of the swarming hordes that are riding HKs and failing terribly, there's one stand-out surfer in particular that i'll say can actually ride one properly. he's in his early 50's and mostly rides single fins. a stylish and cruisy surfer that draw nice lines. he understands how to ride his HK, by letting it just glide and swoop thru turns, and just lets the board go. doesn't try and force it. think it's a 6'0 or thereabouts.

[Beanpole]

Gee Hatchy I thought you were describing me ......but I don't ride a hypto

[Hatchnam]

if you did though you'd probably know how to ride one as it's meant to be ridden, and have the experience to know what conditions it is and isn't going to work in for you.

anyways.. here's some other public opinions.
