- Hayden Shapes Holy Hypto - Wooly TV Surfboard review #43
This one was a real surprise. Never ridden a lot of Haydens designs and this one is by far the best Ive ridden.
Wooly weighs 87kg/192lb and is 6'1"/187cm tall - more like 90kg on most days :)
Wooly is riding
6'1" x 20 1/4" x 2 9/16" - 33.6L

From Hayden
The Holy Hypto AKA the Cohort_V is a combination of the Hypto Krypto and Holy Grail models, thus the Holy Hypto was created. Having more entry rocker, longer rail line with a performance nose, this shape will surf like your everyday driver with the speed and flow of the Hypto.
The wide point is forward of center allowing a lot of hidden foam to be under the front foot giving the surfer a larger sweet spot while surfing and great paddle power. Ridden 2” longer than your Hypto Krypto, it will suit a great variety of waves with a high performance approach.

Looks good under your feet mate 👍🏼
Lol, the funny stuff is what keeps us punters coming back with smiles on our dials when the wooly notifications pop-up 😊
Glad you liked it! Me and Max have a lot of fun when were making the clips and I never know whats it it until they give me the final edit :)
I'm even more pumped for my board to arrive now. Great review, Wooly! 🤙🤙
Excellent
I been watching all your videos, and I think this is some of the best surfing I’ve seen you do!
Thanks 🙏. I did have a lot of surfs on this one so it makes and easier edit and a great finish!
Absolutely loved this! I am almost exactly your size and working my way up to hopefully be able to surf like you someday so these reviews are extremely helpful. I pre-ordered one, was waiting on it for a while and got my first few surfs in two weeks ago. I'm glad all my thoughts were confirmed by you and it wasn't just "new board hype" faking me out. I felt very surprised as well with how great it performed. Thanks! Been looking forward to this video.
Cheers mate! Glad you like ya new board.
Enjoying the drone shots
Yeah they do a great job on the drone
You was ripping them waves to pieces.
Got me a cohort 2 ff on order , cant frickin wait .
Thanks 🙏. Nice, hope ya like it!
Man - you're were shredding on that thing! Can't be you must be the board!
Always the boards
@@WoolyTV Hey Just watched Surf n show's Black baron 2.1 review - your bit is subtitled! You need to put in something from Noel in one of your's and put in subtitles. I can't understand a word he is saying with that California accent!
Looked and moved really good.
Yep she’s a beauty!
What a weapon!
Board looks good, too!
There won't be as many on the market after the warehouse fire recently.
RIPPING!!!
Thanks 🙏
Awesome review Wooly, was nice to hear you'd tryed a lot of fins on it but seems like the medium Blackstix and AM2's were your goto's. I've got both those sets, so look forward to trying them plus some Solus that are usually my faves on allrounder boards. Looks super versatile, you certianly made great use of it in some diff conditions. Curious to know if your really done, done and onto the next one or will you hop on it again. Thanks for the review and promise to check if you also have a sale on next time. Cheers 😀🤙
Yep its DONE! Have so many boards to review I rarely get back on them after the review is complete.
Looks like a good shape for the young guys with a heavy froth on . Think I may have aged past working a wave that hard for more than 30 minutes. Great review young guy. Yew !
Not often I get call a young guy 😂
Great surfing
That board suites your style
Thanks 🙏
Looking extra spicy on this board for sure!
Yeah I liked it!
cool music, great camera and drone work, and some solid and realistic surfing. stick around for the outro. thanks Wooly! 5 stars. yeeww!
Thanks mate! 🤙
Awesomeness dude!!!! Sweeeeet Rippppaaaa! Sticcccckkkkkaaaa!!!!!
Qualityyy and thorough review!!!!
HAPPY SURFING VB/VIRGINIA BEACH!!!!!! ✌️ 😎 ✌️
Good cowboy accent, I almost couldn't tell that you're from Australia!!
You're not from around here, are ya boy?
@WoolyTV Naaah!! Looks like a fun place to visit for sure!! CALI born and raised!! ✌️ 😎 ✌️
@@kylewattssurfing3266 😂
one of your best surfing so far💯. looks like the board combines the effortless glide of the original hypto (got my fourth already..) but added the ability to high performance ability like any other short /all-round board. how was it in weak less than 2 ft waves? did it lack the glide and free feeling? 🙏
Only rode it in about waist high waves and it felt fine to me.
Hi mate, great surfing and review. Wooly, i am 6’6, 198 lbs/90kg, experienced and most of my surf is México. 36.5 liters ideally. HH 6’3 comes at 36.4L and the 6’4 at 37.7. Any suggestion for beach break and well sized point breaks? Gracias 🤙
Hi mate, really depends on what you're used to surfing?
I could have gone with a bigger one quite easily. I don't think the extra length will hurt.
Good vid, good to see epoxy in some lumpy bumpy but still work excellent.
Thanks
Yep I ride EPS boards on all conditions.
Make sure you keep reviewing in the punchy (dumpy) beach breaks. That’s what we’ve got in NJ and imo a big reason that Aussie boards (and reviews) work for us over here. The crappier wave the better!
Ah, the crappier the wave, the better the review! I'll make sure to catch some dumpy beach breaks for you!
@@WoolyTV gracias!
Looks unreal wooly!
How did you find the width?
The 5'10 is more my volume but the 5'9 seems a more managable width!
What do ya recon?
Custom 5'9 and stretch it to a 5'10 or just go the standard 5'10?
The width was no problems for me even though it was wider than my normal 20". I like to stick to standard DIMs as so much work goes into getting the files right for the shape.
Great video! for a 1 board quiver would you take this or the Hypto krypto? I'm a small guy 5ft 4 (164cm). usually 1-5ft waves
Hi mate
The Hypto Krypto is much fuller in the nose so you could ride that shorter. The Holy Hypto has a much narrower nose so you will need to go longer to get the same volume. Yes it works well in 1 to 5’ but would work better 3’ and up.
If you where to pick between this and the Firewire mashup as a bit of a groveller as well as for better waves?
The Mash Up wins as a groveller but this one wins from chest high and up.
This board looks really good! I'm looking for a replacement for my beat up CI Happy Everyday and daily driver. I like a good round/pintail, so thinking the Holy Hypto is a great option. Would you suggest I go with the same length as my Happy E.D. at 5'10 or go 5'11 adding a bit of volume? I'm a bit reluctant to go over 5'10 since I'm 170cm (weight 79kg). Really appreciate your reviews, keep 'er up! thank you!
Thanks for the kind words! I would recommend sticking with the 5'10 length for the Holy Hypto since you're comfortable with that size already.
@@WoolyTV Thanks for the response! I already went for the 5'11'', feel I needed a bit more paddle power and versatility, hmmm hope I'm not sacrificing too much performance... I understood that this board is quite loose and going up an inch would still go good. I can let you know how it goes! thx!
@@paulyc5455 I’m sure it will be fine! I could have easily ridden the 6’2”
Amazing review!!! How would you compare this board against the JS Xero Gravity? Which one would you choose?
Hi mate
Pretty different boards even though the DIMs are similar.
I think the XG would surf down to smaller waves and the HH would handle slightly bigger surf due to the outline and tail shape.
@@WoolyTV great insight! Thank you very much! I
I've been itching for a good pintail board and this might be it! Any comparison between this and the Pyzalian 2 or CI happy everyday?
Very different outline that the P2 and HE. If you like the FF construction and your looking for a everyday board with a pintail, then this is a good one.
Wooly looking like Mason ho with the 2 360 sounds just before the rocks 😅 love it
Think thats the first time I every attempted 2 x 360's on the same wave :)
Hi Wooly, how does the Hayden construction feel compared to a FireWire Dominator II Helium Tech, LFT on other FW boards or a PU board construction? I am considering a Holy Hypto but I don´t have any locally to check out in Portugal.
Hi mate,
The FF construction has a little more flex in it than the FW construction. It feels a little; more 'springy' than a normal PU board too. Yoiu will get deck dents but less than a standard 4oz PU board. Mine has held up quite well after 10 surfs.
Hi Wooly, Good to know. Thanks. How is the weight of the FF construction compared to a PU board in general in terms of helping forward momentum? From my experience some of the Firewire boards except for the ibolic construction felt a bit too light for riding in heavier surf should ++ surf. @@WoolyTV
Hi Wooly, excellent review. Your flow looked real good on this board. I’m looking for a daily driver. Surf your dimensions and currently surf a phantom PU. Curious your thoughts on how the future flex will feel for someone who surf mainly PU? Also how does this compare to the holy grail as a daily?
I like this one over the Holy Grail. You will find the FF will have more spring in smaller surf and helps generate speed, I do like the EPS boards in waves that I have to generate speed. If the waves are good quality then a PU wins for me.
Thanks for this reply!
@@WoolyTVhow does this compare to pyzalien 2?
@@mep51794 very different boards. For me the P2 needed a solid wave to get going. It has a pinched rail through the tail - quite fine. The HH is more of a daily driver everyday board.
Nice video! Do you know if it comes in other constructions? Cheers
Yep I’m sure you could get it in PU.
I'm new to surfing but I have roller bladed a heap.. I'd like to start learning to do bottom-hand turns and rear entries.. Do you think this board is for me?
If I was you I would get a boogie board and an electric bike.
@@WoolyTV My electric bike got stolen in Port Kennedy, but I do have a bodyboard.. Do you do trade-ins? Should've also mentioned I'm a competition Free-runner so agility is not a problem..
@@nathanbender344 you know the only reason I started this CZcams channel was so my mates could take the piss
Hey Wolly, this one or JS Black Baron 2.1? Can you make comparison, please?
Very, very different boards. HS is more of standard shortboard shape that works well as a thruster. The Baron is a performance twin (with trailer)
sometimes for everyday surf i find round tail too sticky and create drag when you need lift, how did u find this one in that aspect ? was it flying on the waist to chest size like a squash or you really fell the board had that sticky effect
I just re-watched the review and it didn't appear to be sticky at all. It did perform best when the waves were good shape, even when they were small.
@@WoolyTV thanks man - i decided to get the HS untitled v2 !
Hey mate how would you compare to dominator 2 as a daily driver . Thanks
I preferred this one over the D2.
Great review of the board, but what's the music Wooly?
Not sure mate. The guys just use the non copyrighted stuff that’s available so we can use it on CZcams with no dramas
Deciding between this or a red tiger, any comments on differences or things in common
I liked the Red Tiger in good quality waves shoulder high and up. The Holy Hypto felt better in the chest to head high range but could also go to overhead quite easy. If I was planning to surf waist to head high surf most of the time I would grab the Holy Hypto. If you’re planning to surf head high and up then the Red Tiger would be a good option. Both are boards I enjoyed riding.
is that a keeper 🔥
👌
what fins would you recommend for 2-5ft beachies
Really depends on your weight?
Im tossing up between this or the schooner for better bigger surf want something that loves the barrel but can turn hard.
If you want to use it for more of a step up, then go the Schooner. This one works really well from chest high to slightly overhead.
You made board look good
Its a really good board!
Does it beat the Zero Gravity. You were frothing pretty hard on that one.
Very different even though they are same length and volume. The pintail gives this one a lot of hold through turns where I find the Xero Gravity pushes through tighter turns.
Double 360! Wooly ripping
I got dizzy and had to come in :)
@@WoolyTV 😝 Love your channel Wooly! If it ever gets small in that part of Australia 🇦🇺, try the newest incarnation of the sweet potato 🍠 as a quad. Best groveler ever and I accidentally took it out one day when it was head high + (Carlsbad CA beach break) and it went great in those conditions as well. Keep on ripping mate!
@@thebensman9786hi mate, I’m reviewing that one now, one more surf and it’s done. ✅
@@WoolyTV oh radical! Can’t wait for your findings Sir Wooly! Very curious if you tried it with 3 and/or 4 fins. This is an exciting time in board design
What are the rails like wooly.
Medium to full.
Hey woolly, sick review! Tad smaller than you and bit less skilled. What size Hypto Twin would you order for yourself?
What’s your ‘normal’ board? Model, length and volume?
@@WoolyTV raging bull 6'2 35.5L
Holy grail 6"0 33.6L(slightly under vol'd maybe). Thought the 5"10 or 5"11 35.4 twin would be it
@@sam.stoked yeah I would go similar to your RB volume 🤙
@@WoolyTV thanks wool! Love ya work!
Js xero fusion or.rhis model or carbon tune?
Really depends on what sort of waves you want to surf them in?
@@WoolyTV 2-4 foot
@@teamcamaleon waist to chest high? If so then the Xero Fusion wins
It is not complete B.S.
But, boards are highly overrated.
"It's the Indian, not the arrow." is TRUE.
This guy could ride a roof shingle. So could I. If you can surf, the type of board is the LAST important factor, behind waves and skill level.
There hasn't been a significant improvement in boards since Simon Law's "thruster".
Watch 1985 Sunset clips and todays.... The rides look identical. Small waves too .... except lanching air. Anyone that is launching AND landing air, is way past the point of getting board ideas from watching clips.
Same for golf clubs. You can play golf or you can't..... it's never the club.
Thanks for your comments.
I will take the compliment on my surfing and I can ride anything (to a degree) BUT
I’m going to have to disagree as I ride a lot of boards and some I really can’t get to work well at all. If you watch some of my other reviews you will notice some boards don’t allow me to surf how I want to. They force me to draw different lines and even lack speed or are flat in the rocker and they can’t be put into a pocket.
This has a good shape and the EPS FF construction makes it feel lively.
PS I don’t get paid to do these reviews, I fund them myself and always work on being genuine with my opinions of each board 🤙
PSS it was Simon Anderson who invented the thruster
@@WoolyTV
Okay...... I'll..... I'll edit it.
@WoolyTV
Reads better now.
@@francus7227 all good and you are entitled to your opinion 🤙
How do she go in choppy condition
No problems, if you watch the clip there are a few sessions in a pretty strong onshore.
