i hit sliders with a 03 premier, with the jib base, awsome...until it started slowing down a little, but its still great, i kinda like that it is a little slower now, because it gives me a litte more time when im sliding to remember to acually do my spin, if i plan on doing it, lol, just my opinion

might i suggest an origin? i ride the skull and like it alot. you can't beat origin's warrenty. i snapped my board recently but because of the warrenty i'm getting a new one for free.

Why do you stick to one company? I assume your not sponsored, don't limit yourself to one company. Personally, if I were to buy a board purely for sliding, I'd get myself an origin or joyride because of their warranty. If I planned on doing a lot of surface tricks at a cable, I probably would definitely try out the Double Up Pure Ride since I've been hearing it's such a good cable board. Best thing to do of course is demo.

However, if you are that much stuck on Hyperlite, go with a 2003 biolite premier/byerly. Biolite probably will last longer than DNA, and the premier and byerly are the only 2 models that have jib base on the biolite ones.

No offense, but buying a board just because it's a hyperlite is being blind about things. If you plan on using this purely as a slider board, I'd go w/ a origin or joyride unless I was loaded. You may get really good deals, but say you break your board on the slider more than once a year, it's going to add up. Plus I hear that the origin rides pretty good too, and you can be as hardcore as Derrick =P.

I like how the premier handles on sliders.

A local shop here just got some origin boards in and i have to say the quality was lacking. It looked like they cut the board out with a butterknife. The edges were rough and crappy, and 3 of the 4 boards they got in the slider base was delaming from the core. I'm glad they give agreat warranty your gonna need it.

The premier is great on sliders. I ride it finless and it holds on to the rail really well with the molded fins keeping me on when I get a little nose or tail happy on a boardslide. unfortunatly this is my only board and If I damage it (more than i already have) I will be SOL.

I ride Hyperlite only. I like their designs, my shop gets me warranted no matter what, and the ride is hard to beat. I have tried other things but found that what I have is just a favorite. I use an 01 premier 135 for sliding. It has taken some punishment from gaps and friends, just use a little epoxy and its good as new. 02 140 premier for riding

if you are a little short, i was in florida at Mikes Place and demoed a hyperlite motive there for a week. it was sweet to go on sliders with and you'd probably like it too

Whats the difference in a cable board and a wakeboard behind the boat if there is even one?

x2xwakegurlx2x · Guest

there are no board made specifically for cable, but there are some that are good for the cable....there isnt any differance, you can use any kind of wakeboard on a cable, no specifications that make it better or not though, does that answer your question?

I think the drifters are good for sliders, but just my opinion.

yeah, im in the market for a new board to ride. my '98 131 juvi is kinda wearin thin. it has been a pimp board though. i think that the belmont and premier are most like it now. got any suggestions?
