An introduction to Haydenshapes

Haydenshapes is a surfboard brand founded by shaping prodigy Hayden Cox in 1996. Cox's innovative designs quickly gained attention from the surf world, and he has since become one of the most respected shapers in the industry.

What sets Haydenshapes apart is their commitment to using advanced technology and materials in their surfboard construction. They were one of the first brands to use computer-aided design and shaping (CAD/CAM) in their production process, allowing for precise and consistent shaping of each board. They also use a range of cutting-edge materials, such as carbon fiber, epoxy resins, and custom-blended foam, to create boards that are lightweight, durable, and high-performance.

Haydenshapes has a strong reputation for pushing the boundaries of surfboard design, with many of their models featuring unique and innovative features. Their focus on performance and quality has earned them a dedicated following among surfers of all levels, from beginners to professionals.

Today, Haydenshapes is known worldwide for their exceptional surfboard designs and innovation, and their boards can be found in surf shops around the globe. If you're looking for a high-performance surfboard that combines cutting-edge technology with a commitment to quality, then a Haydenshapes surfboard may be just what you need.

Best All Rounder

Hypto Krypto - The Hypto Krypto is one of the most popular surfboard models from Haydenshapes, and for good reason. It was designed to be a versatile all-around board that can handle a wide variety of surf conditions and styles of surfing.

The board features a flat rocker and a wider outline, making it very fast and easy to paddle, even in smaller or weaker waves. The lower entry rocker also helps the board glide over flat sections and generate speed down the line. The Hypto Krypto has a subtle hip in the tail that allows for quick, responsive turns, and the round tail provides plenty of control and hold in steeper sections of the wave.

One of the key features of the Hypto Krypto is its unique bottom contour, which features a deep single concave running from the nose to the tail. This creates lift and speed, as well as providing a stable platform for landing airs or performing tricks.

The Hypto Krypto is constructed using Hayden's FutureFlex technology, which uses a parabolic carbon fiber frame to create a responsive, high-performance board that can handle a wide range of surf conditions. The result is a board that is lightweight, strong, and lively, with excellent speed and maneuverability. 

You may have seen some viral footage of Craig Anderson pushing the limits at huge Kandui a few years back on his Hypto Krypto. Whist this isn't attainable for the majority of us surfers, it is a testament to what the board can handle. 

Overall, the Hypto Krypto is a great board for surfers of all levels, from beginners to experts. It is particularly well-suited for surfers who want a versatile board that can handle a variety of conditions and styles of surfing, from small and mushy to bigger and more powerful waves.

Best High Performance

White Noiz 2 - The White Noiz 2 is an updated version of the original White Noiz model, and it's designed to be a high performance shortboard. It features a moderate rocker with a slight lift in the nose and a low entry rocker that allows for quick acceleration and speed in smaller waves. The board's outline is slightly wider, providing stability and forgiveness, while the pulled-in tail allows for tight and controlled turns. The bottom contour features a single concave through the center with double concaves transitioning into vee through the tail, providing lift and speed while maintaining maneuverability. 

This board has been very popular recently here at Boardriders Echo Beach, with many advanced surfers claiming that it is extremely responsive and fast, especially in punchy beach breaks like Sandbar at Echo Beach.

Best Smaller Condition Boards

Untitled 2 - The Untitled 2 is a versatile hybrid shortboard that can handle a wide range of conditions. It excels in smaller, softer waves, making it a great choice for surfers looking for a board that can generate speed and maneuverability in small, mushy surf. It features a wider outline and flatter rocker than a usual shortboard, giving it excellent planing ability and paddle power. The bottom contour features a single concave that deepens towards the tail, creating speed, while the double concave between the fins helps to generate drive and hold. The rails are medium to low, providing a good balance between forgiveness and responsiveness.

A great option for smaller days in Bali that are lacking power, but you still want to get as much performance out of your surfing as possible.

Holy Grail - The Holy Grail is a popular shortboard that excels in a variety of surf conditions, best around the waist to head high mark. It features a moderate rocker with a slightly lifted nose and a low entry rocker that allows for easy paddling and speed in smaller waves. The outline is wider, providing stability and forgiveness, while the pulled-in tail allows for tight, controlled turns. The bottom contour features a single concave running through the center with a slight vee in the tail, providing speed while maintaining maneuverability. The Holy Grail is constructed using Haydenshapes' FutureFlex technology, producing a lightweight, high-performance board that is responsive and lively.

The MISC - The MISC is a high-performance twin fin surfboard designed for intermediate to advanced surfers who want a board that can handle a variety of conditions. It has a flatter rocker and wider outline, giving it plenty of speed and drive. The rails are medium to low, providing a balance between forgiveness and responsiveness. The bottom contour features a single concave that deepens towards the tail, creating lift and speed. The MISC maintains a loose feeling associated with a twin fin, allowing for plenty of fun and versatility in a range of conditions. This board is best set up as a two plus one, with two smaller side fins and a larger center fin, to make the most out of its high-performance attributes. 

A very popular board in Bali for those who enjoy the feel of a twin fin yet want the performance of a typical shortboard. This will bring something fresh to your surfing on your next Bali surf holiday.
