@@WoolyTV Hey Just watched Surf n show's Black baron 2.1 review - your bit is subtitled! You need to put in something from Noel in one of your's and put in subtitles. I can't understand a word he is saying with that California accent!

one of your best surfing so far💯. looks like the board combines the effortless glide of the original hypto (got my fourth already..) but added the ability to high performance ability like any other short /all-round board. how was it in weak less than 2 ft waves? did it lack the glide and free feeling? 🙏

good review, I'm trying to decide between a Hypto Krypto and a Holy Krypto. I wanted a board to surf bigger waves than I do with the 5.6 Firewire Mashup but not so big as I do with the HI Mid6 mini 6.4 as a step-up. For waves 3-6 feet a guy that likes to do top-bottom and carving on open faces but very very front footed what do you advice between these 2 boards ? Thanks a lot
I havent seen an original Dom for a long time but from memory they have way more volume in a shorter length than the HH. I much prefer the HH over the early Dom, I never really gelled with the Dom but I really like the HH.
Hi mate Pretty different boards even though the DIMs are similar. I think the XG would surf down to smaller waves and the HH would handle slightly bigger surf due to the outline and tail shape.
Currently ride a 6’2 38 L hybrid but getting too chunky for my progression. Intermediate level, high fitness. Surfing mostly beach breaks. What size do you recommend?
Hi mate The Hypto Krypto is much fuller in the nose so you could ride that shorter. The Holy Hypto has a much narrower nose so you will need to go longer to get the same volume. Yes it works well in 1 to 5’ but would work better 3’ and up.
Very different outline that the P2 and HE. If you like the FF construction and your looking for a everyday board with a pintail, then this is a good one.
Hi mate, great surfing and review. Wooly, i am 6’6, 198 lbs/90kg, experienced and most of my surf is México. 36.5 liters ideally. HH 6’3 comes at 36.4L and the 6’4 at 37.7. Any suggestion for beach break and well sized point breaks? Gracias 🤙
I'm new to surfing but I have roller bladed a heap.. I'd like to start learning to do bottom-hand turns and rear entries.. Do you think this board is for me?
@@WoolyTV My electric bike got stolen in Port Kennedy, but I do have a bodyboard.. Do you do trade-ins? Should've also mentioned I'm a competition Free-runner so agility is not a problem..
Hi Wooly, how does the Hayden construction feel compared to a FireWire Dominator II Helium Tech, LFT on other FW boards or a PU board construction? I am considering a Holy Hypto but I don´t have any locally to check out in Portugal.
Hi mate, The FF construction has a little more flex in it than the FW construction. It feels a little; more 'springy' than a normal PU board too. Yoiu will get deck dents but less than a standard 4oz PU board. Mine has held up quite well after 10 surfs.
Hi Wooly, Good to know. Thanks. How is the weight of the FF construction compared to a PU board in general in terms of helping forward momentum? From my experience some of the Firewire boards except for the ibolic construction felt a bit too light for riding in heavier surf should ++ surf. @@WoolyTV
I rode the Dom2 as a 5'11" so the 6'1" Holy Hypto has a longer rail line and a pintail so it holds through turn differently to the Dom. The Holy Hypto will handle slightly bigger surf too.
Thanks Wooly, I’ve only ever ridden it as a quad, now I’m about to try as a thruster. I’ve got the medium Blackstix and Merrick larges so I guess I’ll try both. Yew 🤙
Make sure you keep reviewing in the punchy (dumpy) beach breaks. That’s what we’ve got in NJ and imo a big reason that Aussie boards (and reviews) work for us over here. The crappier wave the better!
@@mrjessetatum hi mate. Really depends on where you are surfing. This whole review was filmed in WA and it worked really well in the EPS. If you’re planning to surf bigger waves than what’s in the clip then definitely look at a PU. This is my favourite HS so far.
I liked the Red Tiger in good quality waves shoulder high and up. The Holy Hypto felt better in the chest to head high range but could also go to overhead quite easy. If I was planning to surf waist to head high surf most of the time I would grab the Holy Hypto. If you’re planning to surf head high and up then the Red Tiger would be a good option. Both are boards I enjoyed riding.
This board looks really good! I'm looking for a replacement for my beat up CI Happy Everyday and daily driver. I like a good round/pintail, so thinking the Holy Hypto is a great option. Would you suggest I go with the same length as my Happy E.D. at 5'10 or go 5'11 adding a bit of volume? I'm a bit reluctant to go over 5'10 since I'm 170cm (weight 79kg). Really appreciate your reviews, keep 'er up! thank you!
@@WoolyTV Thanks for the response! I already went for the 5'11'', feel I needed a bit more paddle power and versatility, hmmm hope I'm not sacrificing too much performance... I understood that this board is quite loose and going up an inch would still go good. I can let you know how it goes! thx!
Looks unreal wooly! How did you find the width? The 5'10 is more my volume but the 5'9 seems a more managable width! What do ya recon? Custom 5'9 and stretch it to a 5'10 or just go the standard 5'10?
The width was no problems for me even though it was wider than my normal 20". I like to stick to standard DIMs as so much work goes into getting the files right for the shape.
Hi Wooly, excellent review. Your flow looked real good on this board. I’m looking for a daily driver. Surf your dimensions and currently surf a phantom PU. Curious your thoughts on how the future flex will feel for someone who surf mainly PU? Also how does this compare to the holy grail as a daily?
I like this one over the Holy Grail. You will find the FF will have more spring in smaller surf and helps generate speed, I do like the EPS boards in waves that I have to generate speed. If the waves are good quality then a PU wins for me.
@@mep51794 very different boards. For me the P2 needed a solid wave to get going. It has a pinched rail through the tail - quite fine. The HH is more of a daily driver everyday board.
sometimes for everyday surf i find round tail too sticky and create drag when you need lift, how did u find this one in that aspect ? was it flying on the waist to chest size like a squash or you really fell the board had that sticky effect
Very different even though they are same length and volume. The pintail gives this one a lot of hold through turns where I find the Xero Gravity pushes through tighter turns.
@@WoolyTV 😝 Love your channel Wooly! If it ever gets small in that part of Australia 🇦🇺, try the newest incarnation of the sweet potato 🍠 as a quad.

Thanks a lot
@WoolyTV ☝
Hi mate, I would go the Holy Hypto to fill that gap and it will suit you if you are front footed.
@@WoolyTV I decided on the HYPTO KRYPTO 5.7. only 2 sessions but looking good. I love the hold on take offs in steep waves
Looks great! Love the round tails..How do you compare it with a fw dominator (1st generation)? Thanks in advance
I havent seen an original Dom for a long time but from memory they have way more volume in a shorter length than the HH. I much prefer the HH over the early Dom, I never really gelled with the Dom but I really like the HH.
@@WoolyTV it looks like similars! Yes! A bit of volumen in the dom ( 3 lit. more in the 5’10”) HH seems more hp than the dom 1.. thanks

@@WoolyTV great insight! Thank you very much! I
Currently ride a 6’2 38 L hybrid but getting too chunky for my progression. Intermediate level, high fitness. Surfing mostly beach breaks. What size do you recommend?
Great video! for a 1 board quiver would you take this or the Hypto krypto? I'm a small guy 5ft 4 (164cm). usually 1-5ft waves
Hi mate
The Hypto Krypto is much fuller in the nose so you could ride that shorter. The Holy Hypto has a much narrower nose so you will need to go longer to get the same volume. Yes it works well in 1 to 5’ but would work better 3’ and up.
I've been itching for a good pintail board and this might be it! Any comparison between this and the Pyzalian 2 or CI happy everyday?
Very different outline that the P2 and HE. If you like the FF construction and your looking for a everyday board with a pintail, then this is a good one.
If you where to pick between this and the Firewire mashup as a bit of a groveller as well as for better waves?
The Mash Up wins as a groveller but this one wins from chest high and up.
Hi mate, great surfing and review. Wooly, i am 6’6, 198 lbs/90kg, experienced and most of my surf is México. 36.5 liters ideally. HH 6’3 comes at 36.4L and the 6’4 at 37.7. Any suggestion for beach break and well sized point breaks? Gracias 🤙
Hi mate, really depends on what you're used to surfing?
I could have gone with a bigger one quite easily. I don't think the extra length will hurt.
cool music, great camera and drone work, and some solid and realistic surfing. stick around for the outro. thanks Wooly! 5 stars. yeeww!
