Haydenshapes Hypto Krypto EPS Soft Top - Futures - 3 Fin

The Hypto Krypto Soft Top takes the proven outline of the iconic Hypto Krypto and reworks it into a soft top construction without losing the performance characteristics that made the original shape so widely respected. Designed as a bridge between tradition and modern surfboard design, this board delivers durability, control, and unexpected responsiveness in a soft top format.

At the core of the Hypto Krypto Soft Top is an EPS core, reinforced with two layers of fiberglass on the deck and a single fiberglass layer on the bottom. This construction provides a stable, supportive flex pattern while maintaining structural integrity over extended use. A carbon T stringer runs through the board, increasing overall strength and improving durability without adding unnecessary weight.

The deck is finished with 3 mm PE closed cell cushioned foam, featuring a Full Grip textured surface. This integrated traction reduces the need for additional grip products while offering reliable board feel underfoot. The cushioned deck also improves comfort during paddling and extended sessions, making the board suitable for a wide range of surfers.

Underneath, the board features a hard bottom with a thermoformed ASA bottom skin. This material is both UV and heat resistant, designed to withstand regular exposure to sun and warm conditions without degrading. Combined with the refined rail shape based directly on the original Hypto Krypto, the board maintains clean water flow and predictable engagement through turns.

Unlike traditional soft tops that prioritize only ease of use, this model is engineered to deliver real performance. The refined outline and rail profile allow the board to handle more than just small, mellow waves. Its versatility supports progression, making it suitable for surfers of any level, from everyday recreational riders to more experienced surfers looking for a durable alternative for casual or travel use.

Fin systems are left open, as no fins are included, allowing riders to customize their setup based on personal preference and conditions.

The Hypto Krypto Soft Top stands out as a soft top that does not compromise on shape integrity or ride quality, offering a durable, confidence inspiring board that performs well beyond expectations.
