Ok this is my first year of riding (4 months) I can clear the wake, do grabs, and 180’s I can almost land a 360 I am 5-10-1/2 185-190lbs. I am riding 145 board right now I know its way to big for me so I am going to purchase my first board and would like some help. Knowing this about me what board have you heard good things about or experienced.

Hyperlite Calibre 2011 Wakeboard
Hyperlite Logic 2011 Wakeboard
Hyperlite Motive Badge 2011 Wakeboard
Hyperlite Motive Techno 2011 Wakeboard
Hyperlite Apex 2011 Wakeboard
Hyperlite Forefront 2009 Wakeboard
Hyperlite State 2011 Wakeboard

Also bindings I am looking at the remix but On the boots the size
Large fits sizes 7 - 10-1/2
XL10 - 13-1/2.
I am a 10/12 would I go with L or XL? This will only be used by me

Thank you for reading

Go to Texas MasterCraft and talk to Justin in the Pro Shop. A lot of times they have boards you can ride/test for a weekend for a few dollars rental fee. Try a few boards out and find what is best for YOU, not what is best for someone else.

Try bindings on and make sure they are comfortable! MasterCraft has a ton of brands and sizes in stock and you can walk around in them a few minutes and see how they feel. Not really something to judge/guess over the internet IMHO.

Best,

Dusty

any particular reason you're stuck on hyperlite?? with 4 months of riding and your rapid success - you should consider a flex board to take your riding to the next level. try the slingshot response with the RAD boots.. if you do stick with hyperlite - my vote would be for the state - my kid rides that and he's throwing some sick backrolls
