What We Say About This Board:
Looking for a soft board from one of the worlds top everyman shapers the Loot is for you. A different take on what a softboard can be the loot uses a pretty unique construction method and has that Haydenshapes design flare with the colour options and deck material which means you don't even really need wax. In terms of who this board would work for we like to think from our limited surfs on it that its perfect for someone looking to have some fun in the summer and then lend out to friends and family to help them catch their first waves. Its pretty chunky so loads of float but the shape means you can really whip it if required at the same time the whole thing is very very forgiving meaning if it is your first board after lessons or your lending it out to someone who never stood up in there life they should be able to get up and running in no time at all. And did we mention it comes in stealth black!! Just make sure to keep it out of direct sunlight and don't let it get too hot when not in use.
What HS Say About This Board:
The Loot Soft Glider from Haydenshapes is the perfect softboard for a whole lot of fun in the water and a perfect board to progress and improve your surf on a quality board.The LOOT Soft utilizes dual, double thickness bamboo stringers laminated with fibreglass, placed inside the EPS foam core. To add to its overall durability; a mesh reinforcement has been placed under the 4mm thick IXPE soft deck. "Whats unique to this soft board is the fibreglass wrapped around the dual bamboo stringers which provide a soft flex, yet with a rapid springback. You just dont experience the sogginess you usually get over time, with this type of construction" - Hayden
After riding the 8'0 for several sessions, experimenting with varying fin set-ups; Hayden landed on a set of the Futures keels to balance out the length and volume whilst adding drive - which allows you to push through and hold onto the types of turns you may not usually be able to accomplish, due to the sheer length of rail sitting in the water.

[@Terry-we6mb]

Hello there, Looks like an amazing board. I am 6.3 tall between beginner and intermediate level would and 8.0 be a good lenght for me? Planning to surf small to medium sized waves.

[@wvgs]

these look sick, Im trying to get one but I dont know what size to get. I want a Short one but am undecided on the 5'0 and the 5'6. Im about 80kg 6ft so im leaning towards the 5'6. Whats your opinion on that?

[@shore]

Hi Buddy, depends on what sorta waves your gonna be surfing but I would the 5'6 is pretty small. We only start at a 6ft model as for what the boards designed for this is really as small as we think anyone would want to go.

[@talinacruz101]

Do you think the hypto crypto futureflex softie needs to be waxed?

[@shore]

Afraid I have never seen one so dont want to comment. All boards I am sure are better with a light wax job so probably worth chucking abit on

[@kokokokobeeconspiracys6749]

7 foot is listed at 22 and 23 which is it kokobee

7'0" X 22 1/2" X 3 1/4" - 58L Hope this helps

[@newglorydays-yu6bb]

It looks amazing . Is there less chance of a soft top breaking over a epoxy or fibre glass?

[@shore]

Really depends on what you mean by break? Softboards can be as strong in terms of structure as hardboards but all constructions are slightly different. In terms of dings and dents and knocks Softboards by nature can last longer as they are more designed to be smashed around and therefore damage a lot less. However with the ability to be beaten up more you obviously loose the performance edge that a solid board brings.

[@newglorydays-yu6bb]

@@shore I guess soft tops would have less chance of the nose breaking off. I'm 101 kg would the 6'6 or under carry my wieght. I like the idea that I could at least fit it in the car and it might carry my wieght without having to buy a mal or something 7ft and over. Whats you're opion on this? Thanks

[@foxgd9117]

They are really hard to break, some people I know have done it but on cheap ones after like 3 years. Tbh if you look after it at home and don’t drop it and only use it in surf it will last like 5 years before becoming way too soggy to ride properly

[@bonsummers2657]

Let's see it ridden. Otherwise, waste vid.

[@shore]

Hi Bon we wish we could get some clips of the board being used but we don't get that consistent surf and a good surfer can make surfing a door look good. I think in the soft top space clips of the board being ridden really don't show a huge amount just that someone rips haha.

[@bonsummers2657]

@@shore It's very clear to me the riding / style distinctions different shapes have,…. which is shown by surfing them. One can inference from appearances of a shape, but, it's more clear in the water. Come on, if you're really aware and keen, you can see the differences of riding a door, riding different surboard models, riding a skimboard,…. ya know...
