Haydenshapes Hypto Krypto Custom Questions

Jake D.5y

beginner coming of a boat of a foamy at 9'0 wondering if the recommended board size is too small seeing I don't have much paddle power. I weigh about 60 kg and I'm about 5'6. is it too small?

Dimensions for 75kg?

You'd get away with a 5'6 if you're of intermediate level. If you're a bit behind intermediate a 5'8 would be fine. I'm 88kg at the moment and the 5'8 hammers in all conditions for me.

Does Anyone know if the Hypto with the Stringer has issues with the dings/pressure points in the Deck etc - from most of the comments it seems that the issue is with the Durability?? - I've had other boards for at least 4 or 5 years before even getting any deck sink - so after reading reviews I'm now in 2 minds to order one with extra Strength Glassing through the website or my local surf shop that deals in them. Any suggestions??

The stringer is the carbon rail (if you order a future flex) and they do pressure dent quite easily the first few times you surf them but once they dent they stay that way. They do generally ding quite easily. Mine was made in Thailand and the quality felt a bit bad but then I ordered a psychedelic germ custom and that was made in Australia and it felt like a much tougher build yet still light.

Go a custom order and get an aussie made one for sure. Costs the same but it's yours and it'll be stronger and not mass produced in Thailand.

If you get an epoxy one it'll have a traditional stringer down the middle and won't dent as much but I'm not sure how they surf in comparison.

hope this helps
