do your research before you spend any money on a hypr product.
just do a forum search and you'll see what i'm talking about.

I didn't even know they were making SUP's. Is there any info about them anywhere? I don't see anything on the Hypr web site. There are open ocean boards on the C4 site now. But they run $3000. Might as well buy a one man...
Edit: they have a cheaper "stock" model for around $2200 or so.

What about the Laird (Surftech) 12'-1"? Supposed to be a good novice cruising board.

Hi,
The C4 range has anything you would want in a SUP, They have also been developing them the longest as far as I have seen.
There boards are great in the surf, canʻt wait to try the Vortice boards.

uh, check "it" out where. what is this "it" you speak of? Perhaps "it" could be a web address...
Never mind, the "it" just appeared on the Hypr web site as of 12/25. Wonder who put the design time into the "it" over there? They seem to be very large pieces of "it"

Originally SUP boards were made with standard PU foam and polyester resin. They hold up well but are HEAVY compared to epoxy. I know one of the guys that brings in blanks to Oahu and he still sells the PU blanks for fiberglass SUP's like they are going out of style. So someone must be surfing em.

Want to learn everything about SUP? Go to the following sites - they're unbiased, accurate, and most importantly, will give you some instruction about ettiquette and how to keep this sport growing in a healthy fashion:

Likewise, you can email me directly and I can give you all my knowledge of boards, manufacturers, what to be wary of, and if you're in San Diego, I'd be glad to do a session with you to show you the basics of paddling, surfing, and surfing ettiquette.

I was just wondering if anyone had tried the Hypr SUP boards, or any other SUP boards, for that matter. Any opinions forming out there? It seems like the manufacturers are really proliferating. Any recomendations for rookie SUPers?
