Why does everyone hates Hyperlite so much, I just picked up a 05 Byerly and it is a great board. From my understanding if it was not for Hyperlite and its riders wakeboarding and wakeskating would not be what it is today.

mergeleft3 and also hyperlite supposedly improved there wakeskates this year from last years because everybody complained and they finally listened.

yes they helped out wakeskating, as for wakeskating, your "understanding" is wrong freerider4, is right about cassette. adn by the way, why is this thread in "trick tip" area?

mergeleft3, first off what other boards have u riden to make a claim?
2nd were do ride at?
i had to ride a byrely at odub when i broke my board and i did alright on it. its not a great board but its also not horible. i still do think that it would hinder a rider compared to other boards

Your right Cassette was the first wakeskate company but it was Byerly and Horrell that used to wakeskate for something different to do when they were not wakeboarding. That was long before Cassette was even around.

mergeleft3, so that had nothing to do with hyperlite! cassette made other companies including hyperlite realize that there is a market for this sport.

once again were do u ride???

What about WakeTech? I put trac top on my Wake Tech Flight 69 board around 10 years ago.

Gator & Byerly were the first ones pushing the sport back than and came up with the twin tip design. It just so happens that hyperlite has the $$$ now to pay for all the big riders that started everything way back than. So they get the credit which is wrong.

in my opinion:

THOSE WHO KNOW, KNOW!
THOSE WHO DONT KNOW, DONT NEED TO KNOW!

Let them ride their Hyperlites and that they started it all.

i agree with mergeleft3 that people pick on hyperlite too much, but i can see why people wouln't like it because of the weight and the rails but still they made some of the first compression molded skates. which the integritys are.

Most of the time I ride in Lake Cain, and sometimes OWC.

Just because hyperlite came second in making wakeskates doesn't
mean they aren't any good! I don't see anybody bitching around
about a Jaguar or a Porsche just because they came later after
Ford built the first T-model car!

Again I say, if thou hatest the Hyperlite or indeed, any other company, bestow thy hatred upon them with reason. If thou dost not have a reason, SHUT THE chickity china the chinese chicken UP!
