The Wake Dude's Hyperlite Baseline review:

Ever since I saw this board back in September I knew it would be a great board for lots of people. Once I got my hands on one and began to ride it in the late fall, I WAS SOLD! This board is not only great for people looking to advance their riding but it was a very fun and forgiving shape that allowed myself and 2 other people in the boat to use the board all at different skill levels and not just ride the board but enjoy and get something positive out of the ride.

The main features I enjoy about this board are 3 main things:
1. The straight up pop off the wake
2. Soft landings
3. Forgiving ride even in choppy water.

The pop was great. It was consistent, smooth and responsive. If I cut harder or softer the board would respond respectively and naturally. It was easy to anticipate how the board would handle leaving the wake. It also sends you straight up giving you more hang time for tricks instead of a long and far jump.

The soft landings are key. No one likes to land hard. This board was smooth as butter whether you land on the downside of the wake or busting raley tricks into the flats. I was very impressed.

Forgiving ride was surprising. I had been riding a board with a little sharper edge throughout the entire board and sometimes I enjoy that but when I was testing this board out in the fall it was cold, I was a little rusty on some tricks and there was a slight wind chop but I was able to save some landings that I shouldn't have saved and again smooth landings even in the chop that made it easy to ride away smooth.

This is a board that you will see me riding this year and probably for years to come. I would recommend this board to anyone, any skill and will have anyone I teach to ride this board most likely!

Here is a nice video from Shaun Murray highlighting features of the board and giving some great tips on your first spins and inverts!

Hyperlite Athlete and one of the nicest dudes out there... he is the hardest working guy in the sport and this shows it! Watch him go huge off these double ups and make everything look effortless!

Believe it or not... BUT there is less than 2 months, less than 60 days until Christmas! That means less than 8 weeks, less than 8 Saturdays to figure out what your loved ones are wanting and needing that you could give them. We thought we would help narrow down some of our MOST POPULAR and MOST Requested items that people have been wanting this year...  Everyone likes to keep their precious Apple Products safe while out on the water.. but not only that open up great opportunities for stellar selfies, underwater pictures and more! The Lifeproof Case does all of that whether you use it near the lake, snow or dirt.. your phone is protected! You can't go wrong with one of these.. (Supports iPhone 4, 4s, 5 and 5s)
The Byerly AR-1 is by far the best board in the Byerly Line up, this board is for advanced riders, features the Strata track for unlimited boot mounting and a wide base for great take off and soft landings. This board is fun to ride as I can assure you from experience.
Stand Up Paddle Boarding has been taking the lake by storm.. you may have seen a handful of them out on the water at a time enjoying the sunshine, water and nature. Its a great workout, great social event but also very relaxing. If you or a family member has been wanting one, BIC SUP and BodyGlove boards are some of the best in the industry and will be great for your family to share! (Just try to find a place for the board under the tree...)
The Byerly Buzz. This board truly is all the BUZZ. I have never had a board that people come in the store looking for one specific thing and that is the BUZZ. Once you ride it you will understand why. It has deep FCS fins that allow for great traction in the water but the board shape is light like a skim style which allows for tricks from surf and skim as well as great stability and ample speed for intermediate and advanced riders.
 New for 2015 the Hyperlite Hi Fi. This board has everyone talking, people who don't normally surf, easily learning 360s and almost spinning 720s within short time on the water. This board is going to be a great board to have on the boat for that rider who loves to do skim and skate style tricks and have lots of fun doing it. This board is great for beginners to pro!
