You won't have seen one of these before because I'm getting the first one ever made :) Here it is being shaped.

14ft x 26" x 4.5"

A low volume gun for downwind, surf and general ocean fun.

These Hypr Hawaii boards have a patented concave design that really works - they increase stability greatly, and enhance speed on a wave or bump.

If you are someone to whom the old PSH 12ft and 14ft hull paddlers used to appeal, like I was (I still own a PSH 12ft gun) you'd better check these out. These are even leaner and meaner, and are made with the very best construction materials and methods. You can have them made in tropical hardwood, or like I am having, double-carbon full PVC sandwich, with thick wooden stringer and old-school wood nose and tail blocks. These are low rocker boards for guns, and this makes them surprisingly fast flat water paddlers. Expect them to be only a smidgen slower than a race board in ocean flat water, and a whole lot more "surfy" downwind and in surf. I have Hypr guns in 10-6, 11-6 and 12-6 sizes already, so know quite a bit about how they handle. I've put a picture of my 12-6 Hypr gun at the end. It's in a "redwood" finish, created with thick tropical hardwood veneers. These boards are very strong and durable, and the quality of the workmanship and materials makes your standard Cobra-built SUPs look frankly very poor.

Want one? Contact Ian Foo at Hypr Nalu Hawaii (based on the Big Island, Hawaii). Or the UK/EU distributor is Richard Webb (check him on FB).

And no, I have no connection to Hypr Hawaii. I am just an ordinary punter like anyone else, and I paid full price for my boards.
