Owners Rating:

The Holy Grail is a fast, progressive shortboard ridden shorter and wider than a traditional performance design, carrying plenty of volume for easy paddling and Hypto-like speed. A flatter, large-radius rocker keeps it fast down the line, while a signature sidecut in the tail gives an aggressive rail-line curve that flows through carves and holds tight, critical pocket turns. It sits a step above the Hypto Krypto for performance maneuvers yet stays user-friendly. Works best waist-high to a few feet overhead (roughly 1-6ft) across beaches, reefs and points, for intermediate-to-advanced surfers.

Haydenshapes

Haydenshapes is an Australian performance surfboard brand founded by Hayden Cox in 1997, when he was just 15 years old after snapping his favorite board and being unable to afford a replacement. The brand's most iconic model is the Hypto Krypto (arguably the world's best selling surfboard board model of all time), and it's best known for FutureFlex — a patented parabolic carbon fibre frame construction that reimagines the traditional wooden stringer surfboard. Cox is also recognized for innovative use of custom materials and modern construction methods, with FutureFlex now sold in over 70 countries.
