Awesome!! Have only had it in the water a couple of times but extremely happy with the Hypto. Paddles really well and is super fast. Can't wait to see how it goes in good conditions!

I am very happy with my purchase of the Hypto Krypto 5-fin. I ordered a PE and not the FutureFlex, in my normal volume range at just under 30 litres. The board is nicely shaped with a good finish. I requested a custom size, and it was shaped in Australia which to me is a positive. I purchased this board to fill a gap between my groveller (...Lost) and performance board (...Lost). I intended to surf it mostly in 2-3ft, but have used in it slightly bigger and smaller than I first thought. It paddles well, not as quick as I was hoping but it's not a problem. As other reviews of the board have stated it is fast. In a good way. It holds its speed well and is stable. I am making some sections that I ordinarily wouldn't. The board feels good as a thruster and I don't feel the need to run it as a quad, but it's nice to have the option. Overall, the board has lived up to my expectations. I have a relatively reasonable collection of boards and was never buying it to have a one board quiver, but for people looking for an all-rounder, take a look at this board in either a thruster or 5-fin, depending on your preference.

Found volume perfect for my body weight and ability, paddling a pleasure yet able to duck dive easily. Did not feel intimidated if surf bigger than expected and generally a fun board to be in the water with and still be competitive. An excellent board for a quiver and maybe travel as suits a variety of conditions as well as being light and compact.

Hi Dudes I had a custom Hypto Kryto made 5'9'' x 201/8 and slightly thinner at 2 7/16 I went for the resin tint grey , being an older dude i didnt want to look like a try hard with the bright white board with carbon rails. The grey tint looks cool and makes the board look understated but not the performance, it is just a fantastic board, believe the hype it is simply a quiver killer, i still like to ride lots of different boards, but this board will always preform true to the shapers statement. great board but do yourself a favour and go the tint , it puts the board into stealth mode ( a wolf in sheeps clothing) Cheers Mr T

Instantly noticed the added floatation helped paddling massively. Duckdiving took a little adjustment due to the added buoyancy but that is to be expected. What really blew me away was the speed down the line on the first wave, I find the board very responsive & still direct & stable through turns. At 56 years old its good to be able to go from a 6' 11" to a 6' 8" and increase paddle power. I'm very happy with the Hypto. Cheers.

It has performed well in below average surf so I am excited to get into some quality waves soon, hopefully. Feels good for my age, size and ability, very happy.

Surprised how well this board handles solid surf, has a really connected and controlled feeling and can be surfed way harder than the outline suggests. Paddles into waves better than any other board I've owned.

Board goes well in clean conditions. Hard to paddle onto waves in strong offshore winds and bumpy conditions due to light weight and short length.

So easy to paddle for someone who doesn't get out as often as they should and performs like a much smaller board.
