Blem Boards

Has anyone ever gotten/seen a blem board with like graphics from another board on the shape of another OTHER than hyperlite?? I'm just curious as to why it's always HL decks.

suckmywake, mass production...

Personally I think some of those mismatches are kinda cool. Sets your stuff apart from others even though its the same ride.

I love those blems. Got my 03 Parks with a tiny imperfection on top for $200

There's a bunch on ebay right now actually. Grizzly Sports usually has a bunch too.

Grizzly-Sports is the Sh--, they are super nice and ship quickly. I got a blem DNA Premier for under $250 shipped to my house and all that was wrong with it was a minor graphic smudge. Once you buy something from them they also give you extra discounts. I also messed up the board on a slider and they totally helped me get it fixed since they are right near the HL plant.

I would highly recommend them.

My Blem is a 04 Parks DNA with TFD graffix. Cheap and reliable... I love it... I to wonder why its always Hyperlite products

How do you know if it's a blem board or not on a website like cheapwakeboards

pulled a guy this summer with a belmont 136, had the belmont 132(?) graphics on top, and '02 premier 140 graphics on the bottom. I thought it was cool, and he paid 200 for it new with full warranty at play it again sports...they carry a lot of new blem boards

suckmywake, im guessing that you see a lot of hyperlite blems for the same reason you see a lot of hyperlite boards in general. hyperlite sells a whole lot of wakeboards, probably the most of all of the brands, so they obviously press the most boards. so chances are they will have the most blems, too. instead of scrapping the board and getting zero profit off the board, they ship it off to dealers and still make a little bit of profit.
again, i dont know for sure, but this idea makes sense to me...

I GOT AN ORGIN CHARLE PATTERSON BOARD LAST YEAR 143 AND THE GRAFFICS ARE OFF JUST A TAD ON THE TOP. I GOT IT FOR $100.00. THE BOARD IS SWEET AND THINK ORGIN BOARDS ROCK. THE GRAFFICS NEED HELP.

Some of the blems are so minor it's hard to find them.
