i had that board, it's pretty much sums up suckyness (yeah i said it) and buyers remorse.

C-WAY Crew, It's not the material that makes that board suck (other than the fact that it's 3 lbs distributed through 4 ft. of board)

I've rode it once too, and it is pretty terrible.. which is probably why they stopped making it, people realized that those kicktails did nothing for pop and was just a gimmick to sell boards.

But a question for anyone that does ride it:
Where the hell do you put your back foot? on the very end or a couple inches up (like Brandon Thomas used to ride it i think)?

CapriSunAllNatural, A couple inches up....it has a tendancy to "wheelie" if you ride it with your foot at the back...

I'm looking for a different skate for 07 though.

i do indeed know someone who used to ride it, and absolutely kills it. i also believe he rides cable Twisted Evil

A gate or a Karma? Did (s)he put out a video using an AFI song on wakepics?....ok that video doesnt absolutely kill it...but its not terrible.

I Absolutely Hate Hyperlite Boards. (im not trying to offend anyone just personal Choice) Ok Heres a few reasons why hyeprlite is gonna lose the wakeskating Community.
First Paul and Herb Left Hyerlite and now the company is going down hill.
The grip and Foam top for the catalyst will throw people off. Some people dont take wakeskating serisouly and just wanna ride barefoot on a foam top board that is made out of composite material. Well they lost that. Plus their boards have no pop. They absolutly suck. They dont have a good Woob board. First time i did a shuv was on a hyperlite Scape 107(wood). I bought at catalyt 112 and I got higher pop from that horrible wood board before. I know composite is good for rails. And thats why i want a composite and a wood deck. But they Just dont seem to be upto par.
Grafics have nothing to do with riding but serisuly could they have gone any cheaper on the grafics.
Im never gonna buy a hyperlit board again. Anyways this is not negative stuff, Just personal opion.
OK Take that and chew it. ITS GOOD!
