numb,

bc wakeboarding is still fun to do sometimes.. only at odub though, to go huge off the kickers and such. i dunno i wakeboarded last weekend for the first time in months, and had a blast.

Haha exactly vance. I wakeskate only. I've wakeboarded about 10 max, but it doesn't compare to me.

Going up to the cabin for a week, demoing a 04 HL Byerly for the week, should be fun.

vance you rag on hyperlite boards so much,,,u say there bad boards, to lite, blah blah blah, but u dont even compare to grubb or byrley or any hyperlite riders,,,and i personally know people who use hyperlite boards who are better than u from ur videos of course,,, i agree with alot of things on hyperlite boards on the weight factor and desgine but its everyones chose on what board they want u like wood skates thats cool u dont have to tell us over and over

umm and no im not mad just cuz i ride hyperlite that happens to be the board i own but i ride a lf concave 40 probly more than my hyperlite,, and im getting a new board as soon as the integrity are up for sale and there not wood either but in my mind i belave they will be better than my hyperlite because there wider and have a more skate like desgine

I wake (board surf and skate), mainly because of the water conditions in havasu, it makes the day last longer, but Im not really serious about any of them it's just for fun,
BTW I agree with numb, it's all personal preference, I don't really like wood but I still respect cassette, kampus and companies like them, and I think any wakeboard company that makes INNOVATIVE wakeskates deserves respect because you don't realize that with out the big companies making wakeskates, and backing videos and sopporting contests it would be really hard to grow the industry, because the small companies just can't get to all the consumers all over the country like a big company can, at least hyperlite is making something innovative, they could be like CWB whose skates were made by Nash/Hydroslide or like LF who basically stole cassette, along with 484. ask people who live in areas other than florida or cali how hard it is to get to a shop that has kampus or cassette or any other board made by a small independant company

vance, I know nothing about wakeboarding, but I doubt I'll do that. I don't know how light is it compared to the other boards I've rode, but why is it bad that it's so light? If anything, shouldn't it be an advantage? Again, I know nothing about wakeboarding, I just wakeskate. And it'd be another agruement if we started on all of this, so we won't....but why does light suck on wakeboards?
