Love this 5'8" board!

FOR WHAT KIND OF WAVES THIS WORK BEST???

Youdig surf - 5 years ago

All it the most polyvalent board on the market. It got the front of a groveller the back of a board to charge.

Hi, I have a really bad crease in my Hypto, can you recommend any repairers around South Wales ?

Harry Hilbert - 6 years ago

I'm 80 kg and 6'2, what size should I get my board?

Youdig surf - 5 years ago

Sizing depend on your spot , most surfed wave type , and your skill too. 6'1 or 6'2 seem good for your weigth.

Lucia Seacreature - 6 years ago

i think it depends on your ability ... i know guys about your height surf 5.4 and I'm 5'6 and a 5'6 works fine (im beg/intermediate) and female... but im not sure i like the epoxy plus don't get a white one my board yellowed in no time

great review!

daniel vb - 6 years ago

don't know why people aways wanted quads on the Krypto, it alredy has so much speed... Hayden said it would bad, then people kept asking for it, then he did it but placed the quads really close together so the board can still go vert

Thanks for your help.

giannis skopidis depends on your skill level from your board I can assume your more beginner than intermediate and that will mean your fitness will be lacking so a 5,10 or a 6,0 I would recommend

This board gets pressure dings like crazy! I got a 6'4x21x3 and man just from holding it was nice but the deck takes so many pressure points. :(

Youdig surf - 5 years ago

Yep your are not the same having weakness issue it all over internet, there are other brand that doing those shape close enough.

Nunchuk For Grandma - 5 years ago

@Lucia Seacreature i ripped a future fin plug out first surf doing a bottom turn. By far the weakest board ive ever had, just me personally. Would never buy a HS again because of this.

Lucia Seacreature - 6 years ago

i have zero pressure dings it even fell off my roof and bounced off a concrete street... no dings

Jack Schreuder - 7 years ago

dylan Thompson it's a global surf industries board then they aren't as hood as the ones made my hayden Cox himself

charles seals - 7 years ago

hey I am 20 y/o, 5'6" tall, and 140lbs (61kg). I am a beginner to intermediate level surfer. What size hypto should I buy? I was looking at getting the 5'8" one in the grey tint.

Nunchuk For Grandma - 5 years ago

@Hugh Smith lol you taking the piss mate?

dukeflyingcow - 6 years ago

5'4 should do it

Hugh Smith - 7 years ago

charles seals, hey mate, no way should you get a 5'8, go more for a 6'8 - 7

Rhys Smith - 7 years ago

Great review! Thinking of buying this board just a little stuck at what size to get? I'm 6'2 and 80kg(180lbs) was looking at the 6'2 board?

CJ lingel - 7 years ago

Boardshop.co.uk im 6'1 170 lbs will the 5'10 hypto kryto have enough volume for me ? i surf in new jersey where we need to wear 5 mil suits in the winter

Boardshop - 7 years ago

Hi Rhys - just seen you asked about some other boards. For a more in depth chat drop us an e-mail to info@boardshop.co.uk - we can give you a run down on everything then if you would like. Cheers

Rhys Smith - 7 years ago

Boardshop.co.uk Thanks for the much needed help. Really tempted to go for it. I've also been tempted by the Lost Puddle Jumper, Firewire Dominator or the V3 Rocket. So many choices! Are these boards like the Hypto performance wise?

Boardshop - 7 years ago

Thank for the comment. Great board the Hypto, still in the best sellers list every year because it surfs so well. No need for you to go up to the 6 2, the 6 0 at almost 37 litres is fine, bear in mind the epoxy construction adds a litre or 2 to the real feel of the board when comparing to a PU construction equivalent. The volume in the 6 0 will give you all the wave catching you need and in that shorter template will be more responsive to surf...

Tiago Pombo - 7 years ago

Thanks for review. Unfortunately, still didn't try one of these. Maybe because it may be a quiver killer and I love having loads of boards. :-)
If I may suggest something: use a table towel. The amount of times you lift it up and put it back on the table super carefully would demand so. You'd be relaxed & focused only on the review. Again, super review. Nice work. ;-)
Cheers from Lisbon, Portugal.

these boards do not ding so easily they are epoxy

lashclone clonebeard - 8 years ago

I'm from the south coast of nsw. and surf a 5'8" in almost anything. top boards!!!

Callum Wells - 8 years ago

Any thoughts on the DHD Double Shot (if you've tried it)?

Boardshop - 8 years ago

Hi Callum, never tried one. Looks a bit more shortboard than the Hypto. Cheers

Yasser Saiyad - 8 years ago

is the creeper by firewire trying to be a bit like this board ?

Boardshop - 8 years ago

Hi, not really. Definitely a bit of cross over in regards to outline and rocker. The Creeper has a bit more lift under the back foot so is really good in less than perfect conditions. Give us the Hypto in perfect waves any day!
