hey i was wondering if anyone has ridin the hyperlite roam behind a boat? How do you like it, how is the pop or the wake. I heard its real loose and feels like a wakeskate.

I would say dont waste your money man. They aren't too expensive but they break very quickly and if the screw holes are ripping out with your binding then they are snapping in half or delaminatiing( and yes I have a new one that has the delam strip but it doesn't help)

Its seems to me that the roam is a love it hate it board. I Picked up a blem for cheap and only ride it wake to wake , no rails. I love it, it is as close to snowboarding on water as you can get. If you like boards with big fins that track no matter how you cut the you dont like it. If you like a loser board and you ride using your rails instead of your fins youll have a better time. The board has great pop and is super fun to fool around on, ie. surf turns, butter slides, surface spins, butter attemps. The board is a little sketchy on landings, you have to be on top of the board when you come down, but other then that its all good.
I would say if you like a loose board and you ride a lot of flat water go for it.
