Don't be afraid to go short with this model, it packs in so much volume that it just flys down the line. Very cruisey board that is easy to handle. Perfect one board quiver.

This thing absolutely kills it, from 10 foot impossibles to knee high slop. They say a good tradesman never blames his tools but the Hypto Krypto has taken me from a first year apprentice to master builder in a matter of days! Don't look past this board if you want the perfect craft every single surf.

I surfed my 5’6 hypto kyrpto in solid over head slabs in the mentawaiis. Defs the best board I have ever ridden. Paddle power was banged up and you could make any drop cause u don’t have as much length in the nose dive and its that fast.

Awesome board on its rail, bit slow on full waves compared to my Webber afterburner but beats it everywhere else. Love the extra rocker in hollow waves.

I got my Fat Cat in the carbon wrap and so far it has been great. The first thing I noticed was how well made and light it was. I've surfed it in 2-4ft beach and reef breaks. It is easy to ride and feels good under foot. Also easy to turn and get on rail. I think this will go really well when it gets overhead and clean. Very happy.

This was my first epoxy with the carbon wrap. It's very playful and responsive and the extra volume of the Fat Cat makes this board plane over sections. I found it just goes, I have more time to pick my lines rather than focusing on generating speed. It goes well in most conditions, would recommend it as an all rounder.
