Hypto Krypto FutureFlex

Still the best hybrid surfboard I've ever surfed. Really fast with pretty good manoeuvrability. Can do cutbacks and pump easily. Only downside is that it picks up ding easily with the standard construction so I would recommend going for heavier glass if ordering a custom.

Amazing board - have tried lots of grovellers but keep coming back to Hypto

Grant · Age: 37 · Height: 182 cm · Weight: 80 kg · Skill: Experienced · 31 Mar 2021

Love the speed of the board and the control in bigger waves.

Alex · Age: 22 · Height: 187 cm · Weight: 83 kg · Skill: Advanced · 30 Mar 2021

One of the funnest boards I’ve ever owned, so much drive and speed through flat sections but still doesn’t feel slow at all when you need to get through sections. I’m 6’1 and was a bit worried at first having a board this small but it holds through turns and holds its rail in surf up to about 6ft before you start getting any jitters.

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 easy to paddle onto waves. Very responsive in turns and excellent quality.

Bronte · Age: 10 · Height: 120 cm · Weight: 40 kg · Skill: Competent · 24 Mar 2021

This board is really easy for me to paddle onto waves by myself and is really smooth to ride. It is pretty fast too, I like it alot. I still have to build my muscles up to duck dive with it. -Bronte (9)

Grate surfboard , but not for beginner . its fell like skateboard on the water :) its work beset from 3 ft , at smaller wave i think its better to take some other board. speed of the board is very good. i found my self screaming from joy at the water.

Brett · Age: 46 · Height: 190 cm · Weight: 89 kg · Skill: Experienced · 30 Jan 2021

This board has been my daily driver for 4yrs. It brought back the love of surfing due to the ease of getting into waves and the predictability/stability. It performs well in all conditions and is super durable. It would have been surfed over a 1000 times and it barely has a mark on it. I have the epoxy ff model. If you are struggling to get into waves at your local beach or point break this will boost your wave count.

David · Age: 48 · Height: 170 cm · Weight: 87 kg · Skill: Competent · 29 Jan 2021

I really enjoy surfing this board in most conditions, it is great. All my other boards are now under the house. Paddles well, is stable and draws the nice longer turns that I like. Beautiful in clean conditions but still goes great on the poor days.

Jedd · Age: 30 · Height: 179 cm · Weight: 80 kg · Skill: Competent · 26 Jan 2021

This board was perfect for getting to the next level of my surfing. It is super stable and lots of paddle power and works in all conditions

Calvin · Age: 30 · Height: 165 cm · Weight: 64 kg · Skill: Experienced · 25 Jan 2021

Really user friendly board that has allowed a beginner-intermediate to progress really quickly! Amazing paddle power and feels really stable when you’re up and riding which has boosted my wave count and confidence to keep developing and start putting together turns.

Josh · Age: 17 · Height: 195 cm · Weight: 79 kg · Skill: Competent · 19 Jan 2021

Effortless to paddle which makes surfing so much easier. Great in all surf conditions and would recommend to anyone progressing from beginner to intermediate level

Jeffrey · Age: 42 · Height: 187 cm · Weight: 82 kg · Skill: Experienced · 17 Jan 2021

Awesome board, i surf it often in any kind of surf and it performs well with its volume and outline. The only time I choose a different board is when it's well overhead with a bit of chop. The speed it generates isn't always easy to Handle on those days and the fact I have an epoxy model doesn't make the choppy surface of the wave more pleasant. But other than that. A quiver killer.

Tom · Age: 28 · Height: 193 cm · Weight: 95 kg · Skill: Experienced · 1 Jan 2021

Best board ive ever owned Best all rounder

Tony · Age: 53 · Height: 182 cm · Weight: 78 kg · Skill: Advanced · 6 Nov 2020

I grabbed this for one of my best mates hes a big boy.The guys at Board Cave were aws ome ,looked after us really well.I'm stoked.Tony Thorley

Ryan · Age: 38 · Height: 172 cm · Weight: 80 kg · Skill: Competent · 13 Oct 2020

Got into surfing quite later on in life and wanted to find a board to move down into a short board. This was the second short board that I purchased after a longboard and I absolutely love it. It supports my upper body when paddling, with a lot of foam in that area which allows me to paddle into waves quite well. Once I get onto the wave it is very reactive. I feel like it is really progressing my surfing. Board is super light and so far very durable. So far loving this board for my skill level

Troy · Age: 50 · Height: 179 cm · Weight: 80 kg · Skill: Advanced · 6 Oct 2020

If you haven’t seen one of these boards at your local you have somehow dodged a marketing machine. Probably the best all rounder board I’ve ridden. It handles fat shoulders, hollow speed tracks and gutless wind swell with ease. But I must stress if you want a high performance board for the perfect 6ft reef break, this isn’t it. It does most things well but you will always find a better performance board or a better groveller. You just won’t find one board that does both better. If you haven’t the luxury of having a rack of specialised boards than this one board can essentially take the space of four others.

Brendan · Age: 36 · Height: 183 cm · Weight: 84 kg · Skill: Experienced · 5 Oct 2020

The board is super super fast, great paddle power, just a little bit harder when the surf gets bumpy

Matt · Age: 35 · Height: 192 cm · Weight: 90 kg · Skill: Experienced · 29 Sept 2020

Easy to paddle, great turn; love my hypto

Danny · Age: 53 · Height: 176 cm · Weight: 78 kg · Skill: Experienced · 28 July 2020

I bounce between longboards and short boards, and I’m 53 years old, so although the 6’2” hypto is a lot of board for me, it means I don’t have to waste waves adjusting when I come back from riding my longboard. The hypto krypto is the ultimate longboarder’s shortboard - I love it! And I’ve surfed it in every type of condition from 1ft onshore beach break grovel to double overhead reef break Rote (Indo) - very versatile. Be warned though, after riding the epoxy, it’s VERY hard to go back to regular PU boards. It’s just SO responsive.

Terry · Age: 61 · Height: 167 cm · Weight: 68 kg · Skill: Competent · 27 July 2020

A little bit floaty at first but performs well once you get used to the epoxy.

Jj · Age: 42 · Height: 186 cm · Weight: 88 kg · Skill: Experienced · 27 July 2020

Good board not as durable as I had hoped but it’s a beast in 4-6foot so far. Great to paddle on as it has a lot of volume.

Grace · Age: 15 · Height: 178 cm · Weight: 60 kg · Skill: Competent · 26 July 2020

Really great all rounder board. Lots of paddle power but still turns really well. Works in nearly all conditions. Super good for a beginner/intermediate like me. Highly recommend.

Roland · Age: 24 · Height: 183 cm · Weight: 96 kg · Skill: Advanced · 25 June 2020

Really lively, addictive, and my current favourite in my quiver. Can't put her down!!!! Thought initially it would feel more like a funboard. First bottom turn I felt the instant spring back from FF technology and now I am hooked. It is my daily and surprisingly performs really well. Got drive when you stand forward to get through a fat section, then when waves have more face the pin tail becomes really lively. Had no problem getting above the lip, throwing it around and pushing for airs. Best Allround board for standard waves between 1-5ft.

Luka · Age: 17 · Height: 170 cm · Weight: 80 kg · Skill: Experienced · 9 June 2020

Super fun reliable board, helped me to improve my surfing a lot. Very easy to turn and is excellent in anything from 3-8 ft. Only critique is it can sometimes feel slow in smaller conditions. However still one of the best boards I’ve ever ridden.

chad · Age: 22 · Height: 187 cm · Weight: 80 kg · Skill: Experienced · 24 May 2020

The Board is a tank to start off! most durable construction i've seen in a surfboard. One time my leave broke and the next waves of the set sent the hypto sailing into the rocky shore to be battered for about 10 to 15 minutes while I swam to get it. I was shocked to find it not only in one piece but only scratched! The rails and nose had plenty of small scratches but nothing passed the epoxy into the foam! Beyond durability the board has been a great all rounder and definitely my go to for almost all conditions the last couple years. Paddles like a funboard but rides super responsive and carvey. I wouldn't say this is designed for high performance airs, it's designed for fun! For making fast and wild lines on nearly any size wave. More than anything its fun simply because you will catch more waves.

Peter · Age: 49 · Height: 178 cm · Weight: 78 kg · Skill: Experienced · 20 May 2020

I have been riding these boards for years, I different boards and always go back to the Hypto. They paddle like a dream so you pick up heaps of waves. I ride it in beachies, points, Indo and Sumatra and have taken step up boards and never used them. The Hypto performs all sizes and is the perfect 1 board quiver. Make sure you don't buy to big or you wont like it, use the Hayden Shapes chart and buy the board for your weight, plant your back foot as far as you can go and it will light up.

Jack · Age: 20 · Height: 184 cm · Weight: 90 kg · Skill: Experienced · 19 May 2020

Awesome board and would love to have another one, best thing I’ve surfed. Only thing stopping me is the price !!

Nik · Age: 45 · Height: 185 cm · Weight: 100 kg · Skill: Experienced · 28 Mar 2020

Well I've just ridden this the one time being out an average 2-3 ft beachbreak and was not expecting to be able to feel a difference to my usual type of board but i have to say I felt a major difference straight up. I felt as though the Hypto just paddled really well and the instant hold and glide from take off was obvious. See I usually ride wide tail boards that tend to slide a little and I also have my back foot further up the board (kook) and thought a narrower rounded pin would help me gain speed and I think it works. Early days I know and I must say on my forehand it felt unreal backhand however felt "sticky" but this is a thruster so that maybe why. Might try it with a smaller centre fin and see what it does.

James · Age: 31 · Height: 184 cm · Weight: 85 kg · Skill: Competent · 28 Mar 2020

Great board, paddles well and feels smooth when running down the line.

Beau · Age: 37 · Height: 177 cm · Weight: 68 kg · Skill: Experienced · 16 Nov 2019

I've surfed lots of different boards over last 20 yrs, including toothpicks of the late 90s, and the HK is a solid all-rounder. Surfed it as thruster, quad and 2 + 1, all really good fun, although I prefer it as 2 + 1 nowadays. Main thing is it's really fast, great paddle power, and still maneuverable, and excels in many ways types. Has performed well for me in sydney, bali, Maldives, samoa.... only wave I can't imagine it going great would be thick, steep slab. Particularly great board for guys only surfing once or twice a week.

Mark · Age: 45 · Height: 180 cm · Weight: 78 kg · Skill: Competent · 7 Nov 2019

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!

Mark · Age: 33 · Height: 172 cm · Weight: 65 kg · Skill: Competent · 7 Nov 2019

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.

Rod · Age: 65 · Height: 172 cm · Weight: 60 kg · Skill: Experienced · 7 Nov 2019

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.

paul · Age: 56 · Height: 176 cm · Weight: 75 kg · Skill: Experienced · 7 Nov 2019

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

Donald · Age: 43 · Height: 5'9 cm · Weight: 185 kg · Skill: Competent · 7 Nov 2019

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

Mick · Age: 56 · Height: 6'2 cm · Weight: 90 kg · Skill: Competent · 7 Nov 2019

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.

tony · Age: 52 · Height: 186 cm · Weight: 99 kg · Skill: Competent · 7 Nov 2019

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.

Kain · Age: 30 · Height: 172 cm · Weight: 70 kg · Skill: Experienced · 7 Nov 2019

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.

James · Age: 41 · Height: 165 cm · Weight: 66 kg · Skill: Experienced · 7 Nov 2019

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.

Adam · Age: 43 · Height: 178 cm · Weight: 95 kg · Skill: Competent · 7 Nov 2019

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

Steve · Age: 37 · Height: 178 cm · Weight: 85 kg · Skill: Experienced · 7 Nov 2019

Great board for beaches to point breaks, I'll always carry one of these boards in my quiver.

Dean · Age: 44 · Height: 193 cm · Weight: 112 kg · Skill: Competent · 7 Nov 2019

Great fun board, paddle like a dream so easy to catch waves

Nicholas · Age: 23 · Height: 192 cm · Weight: 90 kg · Skill: Competent · 7 Nov 2019

Surreal. It is no wonder why the board is one of Australia's top sellers. Able to do long open arcs and have enough speed to make sections where I wasn't able to before on my old board. The extra volume / bouancy has helped me paddle faster and stabilise my take off.

Andrew · Age: 45 · Height: 175 cm · Weight: 92 kg · Skill: Experienced · 7 Nov 2019

Returned to surfing after several years off and wanted a board to gain confidence again. I have progressed way too quick for this board and found it to be a bit of a log but still a lot of fun in a range of conditions.

Ryan · Age: 26 · Height: 187 cm · Weight: 87 kg · Skill: Competent · 7 Nov 2019

Best surfboard i have ever had. Love the paddle power and outline. Can't recommend enough A+

Sam · Age: 22 · Height: 179 cm · Weight: 80 kg · Skill: Competent · 7 Nov 2019

Board handles well and is packed with speed, would recommend for and surfer who finds it hard to generate there own speed.

Tom · Age: 18 · Height: 186 cm · Weight: 80 kg · Skill: Experienced · 7 Nov 2019

Works well in all conditions have surfed it in both 3ft chop to 10ft Uluwatu and the board preformed perfectly, have had a few decent falls and land a few airs and yet to have a single pressure ding. The future flex exceed my expectations ten fold.

Craig · Age: 33 · Height: 181 cm · Weight: 86 kg · Skill: Experienced · 6 Nov 2019

Great board loads of paddle power when they say you can ride it from 1ft - 8ft it's absolutely true.

Matthew · Age: 23 · Height: 183 cm · Weight: 80 kg · Skill: Experienced · 6 Nov 2019

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.

Aaron · Age: 20 · Height: 181 cm · Weight: 85 kg · Skill: Competent · 6 Nov 2019

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.

jordan · Age: 35 · Height: 180 cm · Weight: 100 kg · Skill: Competent · 6 Nov 2019

Best board I've ever ridden. Good in all conditions, would love another one!

Adam · Age: 39 · Height: 182 cm · Weight: 92 kg · Skill: Competent · 6 Nov 2019

best surfboard i have had,really fast,easy to paddle,easy to surf.makes a good surf great. Gave a mate a go and he ordered one straight away.

Jason · Age: 28 · Height: 185 cm · Weight: 72 kg · Skill: Advanced · 6 Nov 2019

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.
