Just curious! has anyone been on the Hyperlites 2006 Roam board? Can anyone compare it to last years, is the shape, construction, flex any different?
thanks |

Shape is different this year (more like a snowboard with cut-outs in the waist) construction is different (ABS sidewall & binding inserts are more durable) Flex seems about the same. The '06 seems to edge better than the '05. Overall I like my '06 better than my friends '05. You'll have fun on it. _________________ Get it wet, Mount it, Ride it hard... |

03Belmont, that really sucks considering Hyperlite calls the Roam a "jib-friendly...rail riding style board." _________________ Bondo saved my wakeboard's life!

| nfn, The 2nd generations were better than the 1st gen 05s... for the 2nd generation they added a plastic side rail to protect it from delaming.... But even the 2nd generations would crack or delam over time |
