Welcome to the review of the Hippy Fling by Super Brand Surfboards.

The Hippy Fling that I’ve been riding is 5’6 x 20 1/4 x 2 1/2 - 31L

I’ve been surfing the Hippy Fling for a while now and been able to surf the board in a really wide range of conditions from very marginal 1ft dribble, through to quite fun waves in the 3-4ft range.

The wide outline and volume in the front end of the Hippy Fling makes getting into waves and getting pace up quickly really easy, especially in weak and average conditions. But the hip and narrowed tail block allows you to still push the board when you get a section present itself, or for surfing vertically or in the pocket.

The Hippy Fling has been great for those conditions when you wouldn’t normally bother going out, or if you want to battle with mals and other high volume boards in small waves and in crowded line ups.

Here is what www.superbranded.com.au had to say about the board:

The Hippy Fling is based off our best selling small wave board - The Fling. 

Some of our team riders were requesting a fling with a bit more of a pulled in tail to allow for more high performance turns in the pocket. Sparrow decided to try blending the tried and tested outline and concaves of the Fling with a pulled in tail shape similar to the Unit.

The end result is a board that is easy to paddle and catch waves on but still turns on a dime!

Ride in 5-7” shorter and 2-4 Litres more than your shortboard.

In the Hippy Fling I rode the F8 by Futures Fins which is a balanced fin, and has a ride number of 5.2. This is not a fin I would normally ride in this board, but the board had so much natural speed that this fin felt really good.
