Description:
|
| Board Specifications: | | Length: | 140 cm | | Mid width: | 16.8" | | Tip width: | 9.6" | | Rocker height: | 2.7" | | Rocker type: | Subtle 3-Stage | | Stance options: | 18-24" | | Fin configuration: | Four .8" molded-in/Two 1.2" P-Wing | | Skill level: | Advanced | | Construction: | Biolite core | | MSRP: | $420.00 |
Manufacturer's Description:
Created for skate influenced riders looking for a universal ride on the water or pvc. A link between the snap of a 3-stage with the feel of a continuous rocker. The way this series hooks on rails or releases off the wake might make it the "Premier" board.
Premier Features:
2.4"/2.6"/2.7" Subtle 3-Stage Rocker - a connected rocker line with the benifits of a 3-stage and continuous snap. (Rocker variance reflects 124cm/135cm/140cm)
Step Down Rail - a moderate rail, makes the board sit slightly lower on the water.
"V" Bottom Full-Length Tunnel - aids tracking and helps break up the water on landings.
Two 1.2" P-Wing Machined Aluminum Fins - designed for a quicker release and a moderate feel on the water.
Four .8" Deep Molded-In Fins - for a knees bent style of riding that relies more on the outer fin.
Shallow Cupped Rails - a slightly more responsive grip into a rail-ride turn.
Vented Channels - less friction on the water when on rail for a faster feel.
Jib Base - a stronger material with a more controlled feel for riders looking to get their jib on.
Universal board - designed by the next generation for all aspects of riding.

Pros:
|
optional middle fin
|
|
Cons:
|
too slow, cost
|
|
I didn't like this board at all. I was very happy looking forward to testing the board, then let down. It seemed way to slow going into the wake. I didn't really ever get used to the pop either. I thought the board felt a lot bigger than it was, it rode like a 43+. Overall I did not like the way it popped, the speed on edge, swing weight, or graphics. I liked the removability of the center fin, but that was it.

Pros:
|
The in-between board of the Hyperlite range
|
|
Cons:
|
Feels big... Feels heavy...
|
|
Not the biggest fan. This board feels super heavy, and really larger than it is. The jib-base may add to the weight. The Prem is really a hybrid of all the other boards in the line up, so in theory it should take all the positive aspects of the HL range. In practice I found it just means it really doesn't excel at anything.

Pros:

removable fin, pop
|
|
Cons:

slow
|

I really enjoyed riding this board. I think it is very good for all levels, especially because the more advanced can remove the center fin. I love this board finless. The pop is consistant but also gives a pretty good kick from the 3-stage rocker. The only thing i miss in this board is the speed.

I love this board. It handles so smoothly and gives great pop with the softest of landings. It is a little slow when cutting but I still love it

Pros:
|
Pop, landings, rides well finless
|
|
Cons:
|
none I've found yet
|

I love this board. I ride it without the center fin and it still edges really well, but is also easy to break loose. Jib base is great for sliders. I like the subtle 3-stage, is has a smooth transition up the wake but still gives a nice kick off the top. Overall it's just a really fun shape to ride.

everything

Cons:

slightly heavy

I've owned around 14 boards since I've been wakeboarding and ridden countless others...this board is perfect, it compromises nothing. I ride with no center fin, it holds great and pops huge. People above are saying its too slow, but too slow for what? I can do any trick I want on it. The only thing that I can see "wrong" is that it is a fairly heavy set-up, but I've found most hyperlites that way, and if you ride light bindings then theres no prob.
