Thanks for the breakdown Ian. I just saw your short on the Happy Everyday and I'm torn. I've been tossing up these two boards and was wondering if you could help me decide? I currently ride a CI Rocketwide 5'8 (30L) though I'm feeling somewhat uninspired (it is also quite an old board now) and I'm looking for a board to get excited with and surf in almost any condition and try more turns after suffering a long-term injury. The best board I've ever had was the CI Sampler (28L) and I'm looking to recreate a bit of that magic. Also just remembered another board I'm considering is the JS xero.
Thanks, Just wondering, I was about to buy a HaydenShapes Hypto Krypto but wondering if anybody has any complaints about them. They look amazing, very light. Love the black color, but are there any downsides? I am currently on a Al Merrick TORQ MOD POD 6'6 and really like it! But wanted to maybe getting something a little smaller. I am 1.82 mt 56 years old and on the thin side and wondering if I need to get something around the 6'2 range, or even smaller, if I get the Haydenshape Hypto Krypto ? I live in Chile and we have pretty Big surf all year round. Thank you!
The Hypto is a solid board and dare I say it, a one board quiver type thing, super versatile and loads of fun to surf, In my opinion, one of the best boards we've ridden and that is out there. You hear the term ‘ one board quiver ‘ a lot but to be honest it really is. With the wide point forward for ease of paddling and wave catching and a pulled in tail it looked like something from the seventies, for performance and response, but brought up-to-date with the state-of-the-art FutureFlex Technology. FutureFlex construction is a stringer-less parabolic carbon fibre frame, shaped out of high-density EPS foam and built from custom designed materials exclusive to the Hayden Shapes brand. The technology delivers a high energy, rapid spring back resulting in ultimate speed and drive, perfect for wave pools as this will allow you to keep your speed up and will help develop manoeuvrers. This board can handle any conditions you chuck at it and will be able to perform even in the smallest of waves. Super forgiving and user-friendly and will offer you everything you want from a board. A forgiving but super fun performance based board, something which does tackle anything you throw at it. size wise , smaller is better with these boards, they pack a lot of volume in , so 6' 2 / 6' 0 would be ideal
a thinner hypto crypto (same shape) is something I'd like to see. Both much less wide and thinner deck to bottom. A good barrel board in 4-6 foot barrels.

Thank you. Does it travel well? Does it ding easily?
Every future flex Hayden I've had has held up really well. Even had one wash up on a jetty and only had scratches.
It does travel well. No more than any other board but still durable of course
HOLY MOSES another smokin' hot board on my wish list to test drive ! 🤣

@@BoardshopUK Thank you for answering.
Will you be doing a review of the CI Big Happy?
As soon as we get them in!

That exists. The hypto krypto step up is exactly that
Great!
