Wakeboard Camp Boards Selection

K, so I'm having some input in what boards this camp orders for their summer program next year. They deal with Hyperlite, so unfortunately I can't choose CWB or LF Laughing

I think I've got my three choices down:

1. Premier - pretty aggressive 3-stage, but not out of control like the Parks or Byerly. (I figure if kids are good enough to ride a Byerly a Parks they'll bring their own boards)

2. Era - relatively mellow, good mid-level board.

3. Motive - good for beginners or people who like the continuous feel.

So, if you had to choose, what would you pick? I'm also thinking the Murray might fit well in there somewhere - maybe in place of the Era? Keep in mind the best kids we get at the camp will usually be just learning their first spins and inverts. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

if this is a camp that does alot with wakeboarding, and not good students, then go for the motive, otherwise it you are dealing with kids that just want to get a ride in, the era works for about everyone.

Id go with the premier. i ride it and find it a fantastic board, holds up on edge very well but its not an agressive 3-stage, it says on the board 2.6" subtle 3-stage (136) and pops like a dream. i havnt ridden the parks or byerly but apparently their completley different to this board.

Kids come for a week and are in the program for 6 hours a day. 3 in the morning, 3 in the afternoon. They rotate between slots in the boat, tramp training/video watching and sliding at our park.

Its a wakeboard specific program of a sports camp, but it's a pretty intense program. We run a Nautique 210, have a private slider lake, and olympic trampolines for training.

Edit - what about 2 sizes of Premier, 2 of the Murray, 1 Motive and 1 State? The guy who makes the final decisions is thinking the Era and Premier are too similar - he'd rather do the Murray. (unfortunately no one's really ridden it yet).

What is the Temet now? Or did they do away with that shape?

motive and state
motive is easy to ride and won't run to hard even with a hard lean
state board has no limits and helps with toeside
rumor has it the boys behind hyperlite are jumping ship!

3DS

It's not too hard to ride. I think it would be a good one.

And i have ridden it.
