Haydenshapes Hypto Krypto Epoxy Soft - Futures - 3 Fin Surfboard

The Haydenshapes Hypto Krypto Soft Top reinterprets the iconic Hypto Krypto outline in a soft construction that balances durability, performance, and accessibility. Designed to retain the defining characteristics of the original shape, this board delivers a familiar feel with added forgiveness, making it suitable for surfers across all ability levels, from everyday riders to elite surfers.

At the core of the design is an internal parabolic carbon fibre frame, providing structural integrity and controlled flex uncommon in traditional soft tops. This construction supports responsiveness and stability while maintaining a durable platform for repeated use. The outline and shaped rails, directly based on the original Hypto Krypto, ensure predictable engagement and control, allowing the board to perform well beyond small or weak surf.

The deck features a full grip textured surface, built from 3 mm PE closed cell cushioned foam. This provides secure traction underfoot while adding comfort and impact absorption. The textured finish removes the need for additional traction, keeping the setup clean and functional. Underneath, the soft bottom with a thermoformed ASA skin adds durability and protection against UV exposure and heat, increasing the board’s lifespan in demanding environments.

The internal structure is built around an EPS core, reinforced with two layers of fiberglass on the deck and a single layer on the bottom. This glassing schedule enhances strength while maintaining a balanced flex profile. A carbon T stringer runs through the core, adding longitudinal stiffness and improving overall durability without compromising the board’s lively feel.

Unlike traditional soft tops that prioritise stability over performance, the Hypto Krypto Soft Top is designed to push further. It supports clean lines, controlled turns, and consistent speed, making it a reliable option in a wide range of conditions. Its versatility allows surfers to progress confidently while still offering enough performance to remain engaging over time.

The board comes supplied with a soft fin set, ensuring a complete and safe setup straight out of the box. This makes it suitable for surf schools, travel, or everyday use where durability and ease of handling are essential.

The Hypto Krypto Soft Top delivers a rare combination of performance driven design and robust construction, offering a refined soft board experience rooted in one of Haydenshapes’ most proven outlines.
