    Yeah so I'm not as crazy about the hypto as everybody else is...
    Selling mine, mint condition, only some light pressure dents on top. Asking 550. Lowball me and I'll let it sit in my garage, it looks pretty good in my quiver rack.

    Trying to decide between this and a 5'6". I'm 150lbs. How did you like it compared to your weight?

    True, except for the hypto. Sold it for 500.

    I have a 5'8 and I am 150lbs as well, floats me perfect. I've surfed both a 5'10 hypto and a 5'6 and the 5'8 was the perfect medium for me.

    im 180 and 6'1 and the 5'8 is perfect for me the 5'10 would be to big for me i figure i was kinda nervous about going that short but i'm glad i did

    I'm just curious what kinda fins do you guys use in your hypos i have jc1 blackstix and they work good i was wondering what else would work maybe something for when the surf is bigger. I also wanted to try the rob machados but i don't know how much of a difference they will make from the jc1 since they are both made with blackstix material

    Yes. According to their website the 5'8" is good for you at 180lbs. But that 5'6" looks so small to me. I'm 150lbs. I guess it comes down to ability.
