hyperlite put this on and it doesn't come off. I know the pic with my vest and board and skate isn't really neccessary but I was puttin up every pic I had of the sticker.

I have the same thing on the bottom of my LF wakeboard and Hyperlite board. I tried to tear mine off and the same thing happend. Only half came off. Mine came off after about 4-5 sets of wakeboarding and wakeskating. I just let the water tear it off. But if you want it off now I would try to take a wet towel and scrub over it and then once its wet tear it off.

Acetone should work. If you don't know what it is, it's a liquid (like industrial strength rubbing alcohol) that works real well to break down adhesive stuff. Pretty potent smelling too.

Lighter fluid works as good or better than anything else I've tried on every adhesive I've encountered.

Ronsonol is slightly better than the others I've tried but any random lighter fluid (for cigarette lighters or charcoal lighting) should work.

Just put it on and let it sit for a few seconds. Then rub it off with a paper towel or scrape it with something like a plastic knife or whatever (depending on how much paper is left). If it doesn't get everything, i.e. if it is still sticky, do it again.

Midwest wake has it right, use a hairdryer to get it off then use Goo Gone to get the sticky stuff off.

definately goo gone. It takes off anything sticky. It will not take the paint off your board. I use it to take messed up spray paint off my board

I've got the 116 version with the same *&%%$%$!!! sticker on it. I tried to pull a corner and realized it wasn't happening. I don't want to use solvents that may affect the wood treatments and sealers. I'm just gonna leave it on there to make it look like I'm a nonconformist; stickin' it to the establishment by abandoning the accepted practice of removing specification stickers from merchandise.

Anarchy is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there.

Anyway, poor design. Someone at hyperlite wasn't thinking.
