KEY FEATURES
Wide and Short Nose Outline
• Increases stability and speed on the wave as you can engage the entire rail length.
• Easier to pivot turn & fit into smaller sections of the waves.
• Extra stability and pop when paddling out over whitewater.
The Straighter Outline
• Increases speed as the entire rail is engaged down the wave face.
• Increases stability and speed on the wave as you can engage the entire rail length.
• Easier to pivot and fit into smaller sections of the waves.
The Inverted Nut Rails
Provide insane acceleration and a pivot point for tight turning.
Flat Standing Area
Adds stability and makes for easy rail-to-rail transitions.
Flat Rocker
Produces speed, helps get into waves easily and adds stability.
Thin Rails Towards The Tail
• Easier to engage the rail on the wave with less foot pressure.
• As the Hyper Nut has such a wide tail it is essential for rail thickness to be responsive in turns.
Channel Bottom Shape
• Creates a flat spot in front of the fins for extra acceleration
• Deeper swallow tail gives more bite through the turns.
Fin Set Up
• 3.7 rear side fins makes it much easier to slide the tail for more radical turns with less effort.
• Quad fin set up uses 4 side fins and gives fast acceleration and instant down the line speed as it does not have drag from a centre fin.
• Quads are looser through turns, making it easier to slide the tail out.
BOARD CONSTRUCTIONS
NEW Blue Carbon
LIGHTEST WEIGHT, BEST RESPONSE, STRONGEST BUILD
• Ultra lightweight Biax Carbon is laminated over the entire deck and rails for the best strength and flex.
• High-density End Grain Balsa covers the full bottom for incredible impact resistance and fatigue strength.
• High-density PET foam wraps the full deck and rails, minimising resin uptake and increasing overall hull strength.
• High-grade lightweight S-Glass wraps the full bottom.
NEW Starlite
PARABOLIC CARBON INNEGRA RAILS
• Scratch proof Parabolic Carbon Innegra rail.
• 3 x Glass T-stringers from the mid point forwards significantly increases strength against total breakage.
• A combination of different fiberglass densities wrap the entire hull for strength and durability.
• Australian pine on standing area for extra impact resistant and rigidity.
AVAILABLE SIZES
9’0″ X 31.5″
Length: 9’0” / 274 cm
Width: 31.5” / 80 cm
Proven hard to beat, the 9’0″ suited for heavier riders delivers speed from the longer length and stability from a wider outline. The new fin set up makes it feel like a different board and guarantees to excite.
Available constructions:
• Blue Carbon
• Starlite
8’4″ x 31.5″
Length: 8’4” / 354 cm
Width: 31.5” / 80 cm
The thin rails towards the tail an the shorter outline makes the new 8’4″ much easier to turn and redirect on the wave. For bigger waves, the 5.5 front fins will give more bite and hold, in smaller conditions the 3.7″ rear will loosen the ride.
Available constructions:
• Blue Carbon
• Starlite
7’10” x 31.5″
Length: 7’10” / 239 cm
Width: 31.5” / 80 cm
The 7’10” is our best-selling. The thin rails help engage a relatively large tail outline with ease, making the board maneuver like a much smaller board.
Available constructions:
• Blue Carbon
• Starlite
7’6″ X 30″
Length: 7’6” / 229 cm
Width: 30” / 76 cm
This board is more maneuverable than the 7’10” and more stable than the 7’0″, ideal for riders up to 95 kg. A twin fin set up with larger front side fins makes a super exciting ride in smaller surf.
Available constructions:
• Blue Carbon
• Starlite
7’0″ x 28″
Length: 7’0” / 213 cm
Width: 28” / 71 cm
A short board with a big bite. The 7’0″ is the smallest in the line, designed for small overhead surf. The thin rails at the tail provide control and hold in bigger waves.
Available constructions:
• Blue Carbon
• Starlite
BOARD REVIEWS
Fiona Wylde
Water woman
“The Hyper Nut is the super fun board that makes any conditions feel like a skateboard park! Small waves become open canvases and mushy waves become fun again! This doesn’t mean you can’t bring it out into some sizable surf as well! For whatever the conditions, this is a board that can be fun in anything!”
Shakira Westdorp
2016-2019 ISA SUPSurf World Champion
“The Hyper Nut’s are my go-to board in surf that is a bit mushy and slow. When riding the Hyper Nut it provides you with so much speed on the wave and great maneuverability. Instead of having a frustrating surf you can go out there and have a fun time making the most of the conditions. It’s a favourite in my quiver.”
Sean Ponyter
2018 ISA SUPsurf World Champion
“The Hyper Nut presents a really special board in that it works for small gutless surf but also midrange size with punch. I’ve even seen Zane Schweitzer get barrelled on a Hyper Nut at Teahupoo! The boards outline provides stability like no other, and the combination of channels and nut outline create a board with ridiculous turning quickness and exciting release.”
