Hyperlite Hyper Pro Wakeboard Review

We have to go back to basics to connect with the essentials of wakeboarding. Twenty-eight years ago, Hyperlite took chances in the attempt to redefine a sport with a lot of wakeboarders in the USA and around the world. Shaun Murray and Jimmy LaRiche, both remarkable athletes with a brilliant career in this sport, gave their approval to Hyper Pro, a classic model and a key for wakeboarding development. Let’s check the founding qualities of a board that remains unbeatable in time.

Hyperlite HyperPro Wakeboard

It’s always convenient to revisit classical shapes to get the best of wakeboarding. Plus the essential “spear” tip of this board, we count with two channels that allow all the carving we want. A sustained control during displacements over edges is also guaranteed (like nostalgia of experienced riders).

Key Features

Build Quality

Back in the 90’s, the construction of “Hyper Pro” was ahead of its time. This wakeboard marked a watershed in wakeboarding history. The expansion of production methods was possible, also an easier migration from the best qualities of snowboarding tables to wakeboarding. Now, this pioneer and groundbreaking model has been updated and improved with the Bio-3 Core and the monocoque construction. It also has layered glass in its structure. The enhanced and compact assembly of “Hyper Pro” makes it ideal for wakeboarders with very different physical abilities. The greater height of this board improves the riding control if we use any standard type of handles and bindings.

Design

With a high-end structure, “Hyper Pro” can bring back memories and create new ones. The continuous rocker, the directional shape (and the “spear” tip style) and the three-fin configuration can reunite all the wakeboarders who look for a fun and a great time, no matter if they are beginners or skilled practitioners. The design of the wakeboard tail maintains its traditional shape. While the tail keeps a proportion of 1:1 in most modern wakeboards, the tail of “Hyper Pro” has a smaller surface area than the spear-shaped tip. The double channel through the board’s height ends at the tail, which defines the classic but effective design of this wakeboard. Vibrating and high-contrast colors, with daring and aggressive graphics patterns, return from 1991 to the 21st century to show us that the classic essence of wakeboarding never gets old.

Bindings

This timeless artwork has been updated to be used with all the Hyperlite bindings. Unforgettable learning experience and fun is guaranteed.

Final thoughts / Conclusion

The transition of snowboarding models into wakeboarding was a long wake to ride. These twenty-five years of wakeboarding history gave us some of the most memorable models of all time. Better control, two-channel configuration, a continuous rocker, and other ways of building wakeboards couldn’t be possible without “Hyper Pro”. Nowadays, masters like Aaron Stumpf are grateful for this founding model, a key for exploring new paths (or wakes) in order to improve this sport. Hybrid rockers, asymmetrical board shapes, and other innovations owe a lot to the 90’s boards. An aspiring wakeboarder committed with the spirit of learning, fellowship and fun of wakeboarding, should own the Hyperlite Pro.
