Hyperlite has given Wakeboarder.com a preview of their newly designed wakeskate for 2004 called "the Gate". It has a new 3.6" kicktail and was designed by Murray, Bonifay, Grubb, and Byerly.
Manufacturer's Description:
This last season our team built a new deck with a higher kicktail for bigger airs. Expand your limit of tricks with manuals and nollies out in the flats.
The Gate comes stock with the following features...
A 3.6" high kicktail independent of the waterline giving a skater increased power on ollies. This new, secondary kicktail has more to leverage off of.
EVA designed specifically for added traction while skating in shoes our team swears by it.
Same proven concave for extra board control and solid ollie power
A deep center tunnel allows additional water to flow thru the end of the board for more stability.
Compression molding and a nylon base material for extra durability.
Designed by Shaun Murray, Parks Bonifay, Brian Grubb and Scott Byerly.
