Owners Rating:

The Hypto Krypto is the original one-board-quiver hybrid: a wide, full outline with relatively low, flat rocker that paddles easily and generates speed through dead sections, while a single-to-double concave keeps it loose and responsive rail-to-rail. It handles everything from flat 1-3ft beach breaks to overhead barrels up to 8ft across beaches, reefs and points. Sold as a 5-fin convertible, it suits everyone from beginners (ordered larger) to advanced surfers (ordered shorter), making it Haydenshapes' best-selling everyday board.

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.
