Hyperlite Wishbone Wakeboard Review

Riders with advanced skills need wakeboards that match their abilities and performance, especially in the cable park. It is hard to choose a table that stands out among the huge list of boards with a wooden core, natural flex, and sintered base, but some can stand out from the crowd. Hyperlite Wishbone is the ultimate park wakeboard that comes with side protection that enables a rider to hit obstacles and stay on their feet.

Hyperlite Wishbone Wakeboard 2022

Hyperlite is a renowned name in the cable park wakeboard industry. Hyperlite assigned a task to Aaron Stump to create a much-improved cable-specific deck. Collaborating with Graeme Burress, Aaron came up with a Wishbone that features The Air Stick Wood Core that is popular for its high durability properties. Not only this but the strategic slots have also been cut lengthwise to make the wake lightweight enough to give a super-light feel on air. It is surrounded by a Urethane Sidewall and Sintered Base making this wakeboard a perfect pick for the next ride.
