Hyperlite Imperial Wakeboard 2008 – Scott "Butch" Bouchard's first creation in the Hyperlite line is geared for a responsive ride with a ton of pop. The Hyperlite Imperial Wakeboard is the widest board in the line. With an 18" waist it was shaped to create maximum pop with minimum swing weight. This added surface area also creates stability. To ensure a quick, responsive ride Butch shaped a tapered sidewall that starts tall at the center of the Hyperlite Imperial Wakeboard then tapers to a sharper step-down rail tip and tail. This blend of soft to sharp sidewall creates lift and pop towards the center of the board and a fast edge toward the ends. Aiding Hyperlite’s Imperial Wakeboard in this responsive feel are its cupped molded in fins. The first board with molded fins built with a true 0.5" radius. Finishing up the Hyperlite Imperial Wakeboard technical package is the center beam construction, built to break heavy landings off big airs generated by its explosive pop.

Step Down Rails
-
Monocoque Construction - Integrating the top glass and the bottom glass into one. Generating a more durable board on side impacts and prevents the ol’ side delamination.
-
Metal Flake and Biolite Core
-
Layered Glass - A non-woven glass available in 4 sizes depending on the size of the board. Over time, woven glass fibers will separate. Every Hyperlite deck will have the same snap on a double after 5 seasons as it will on the first one.
