Fellow SUP heads I'm close to pulling the trigger on ordering the small Hypernut. I'm in WA so I think Demo opportunities are limited given I don't live in Perth.
Can anyone that's has ridden one (in waves) please give me their thoughts on the board?

My current quiver is

JP 8'2 surf 101L 28wide for decent clean waves locally and down south

Laguna bay Hybrid 8'2 29 3/4 wide unknown L's (id guess 115L) for small and bump stuff.

I'm 173cm short and 82kegs. Will the Hypernut be a replacement for my grovel board or the JP.

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Cheers Bender

Yeh I had a little session on it in 2 foot junk. Im bout 92 kilo 6'1 and it floated me ok and was really stable for a little board. It was loose and responsive and really light. I had to keep moving so its extra work for my weight Big thumbs up from me .

The Hyper in the photos is a finished proto..it is around 104ltrs and no that is not the final colours . It will be a lighter blue with an orange/red strip almost like the colours on this years ACE.
Photos on the back of the current SUP World mag are correct colours.
Hope this helps Rod
