High Boy started in a pretty simple way: out of pure curiosity. A lot of people are familiar with hardware hacking devices, especially the legendary Flipper Zero. But as many know, in some countries especially in Brazil the Flipper has become restricted. So the question came up: "Why not make my own?"

That's how it all began, as a personal project. If it were just for me, it would already be done: full of improvised soldering, lots of PTH components, and of course, no case something really rough, just for those who understand.

But as the ideas and project photos started to spread around, a lot of people started asking: "Why don't you make it for production?" And that's when the story changed. Since the goal is now to reach a broader audience, we're putting real effort into creating something truly well-made with professional finishing, thoughtful design, and a level of quality we would be proud to bring to the market.
