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

This board is a good all rounder, from small beach breaks and up to 4 foot indo. Great for fast down the line waves.

Great board. took it to Nicaragua and rode it most of the time. Very functional in many types of surf.

This board is my fav board at the moment! From small fat waves to nice hollow barrels this board is awesome! Went the 6'1" for the 35l of volume for some extra paddle power and to get on the wave earlier in crowds. My wave count is now up therefore my surfing is improving. Super stoked and can't wait to take this board to Indo!

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.

Best simmons I have ever ridden. Super fun in 2- 4 ft but handles a well groomed 4 to 6 ft no problem. Probably even funner when it's overhead because the rails and keels hold so well through turns you want more face to work with!

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.

Matt Penn - X wing Gold 5'11 x 20 1/8 x 2 1/2 32.5 Litres volume - The board works as described, it has enough rocker in it to let it take a sucky drop and it delivers a good balance of drive and release, The chiselled Swallow tail and tapered rail allow the board to go on rail really easy, as the rocker is in the tip of the nose and late in the tail the board still allows you to fly over fat sections pretty easy, I am currently riding it around S/E Asia as my small wave board on points/reefs and beachies in the 1 to 4 ft range an it is a really lovely surf board.

My board performs exactly how I hoped, paddles great with lots of drive, I am surprised at how well it goes even in really small surf. Could not be happier, please pass on my thanks' to Matt

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.
