Amazing board. Immediately increased my wave count without losing anything in terms of performance. The Gary McNeill quads are a great addition to this board also. Cheaper than the Rasta quads and better quality.

I love my hypto krypto so much! Such a smooth board glides perfectly along waves any shape and size. I got mine made a little bigger then what i’m used too (usually 5’9 got a 6ft) so it’s great for paddling and also just makes the outside turns so much more smooth. Highly recommend if you are looking to take your surfing to the next level or just looking for something that won’t let you down! Bloody great board 10/10!!

Super fun board for small waves - easy to paddle, incredibly manoeuvrable and will have you flying across those fat sections with buttery-ease, ready to boost off or jam the end-section to the rousing applause of onlookers and awe-struck kids on bodyboards. You take a moment to let it all sink in; people oggle at you from the shoreline and then the thoughts start to creep in - should you be negotiating for 6 or 7 figures on your next contract? It doesn't matter though because you're stoked - too stoked to care about the corporate side of things and ready to paddle-battle your way back into the lineup for the next one. Mahalo.

This board purchased for strapless kitesurfing small sloppy wind waves and it performs super well, lots of drive, speed, manoeuvrability and you can jam a turn if you see an incoming lip or section. I beefed it up with 6oz glass full deck. I surf also and expected this board to go well kiting in knee to head high waves only downside is FireWire don't make these shapes for kiting.

Great board for less than great conditions. Nice flow and casual vibe to the board. Can be used in mush but also performs more hollow waves. Lots of fun.

Thought it was a great board but unfortunately snapped it after 2 months of use! Don’t think it was the quality of the board that was the issue as it was pretty heavy that day! Would love another one if I could afford it
