Hyperlite Droid Wakesurfer 5ft 3in Orange/Black

Hyperlite, a brand with over 27 years of wake experience, is proud to introduce the DROID Longboard Style Surfer, designed to provide increased volume and performance for larger riders. The Droid is a longboard-style surfer intended for use behind boats, featuring a longboard volume that makes it ideal for larger individuals. This increased volume creates lift, speed, and push, ensuring the Droid performs well on a variety of wake sizes, including smaller-style waves.

The Droid's unique design elements contribute to its impressive maneuverability, despite its large size. The tail shape, features, and tri-fin setup work in harmony to deliver great responsiveness and control. Riders can plant their foot on the tail for aggressive turns or center themselves for a classic longboard sensation.

Hyperlite's commitment to innovation is evident in the Droid's construction, which utilizes a handmade epoxy process. This method, similar to that used in ocean surfboard manufacturing, features a polystyrene core coated with epoxy resin. Hyperlite's bamboo stinger provides additional strength, while the use of a stronger fiberglass cloth helps to limit denting during aerial maneuvers.

The Droid's unique tail shape is a squash design, with a squarer back and rounded corners. This configuration delivers a snappy feel and increased hold in the wave, enhancing the board's overall performance and responsiveness.

In addition to the Droid, Hyperlite is also introducing the Wingman, another shape featuring the handmade epoxy construction. This diverse range of wakesurfers, combined with Hyperlite's extensive experience and collaboration with team riders and loyal supporters, positions the brand as a leader in the industry.

The Droid's technical details further showcase Hyperlite's commitment to quality and innovation. The board features a single to double concave design, which channels water down the belly of the board and transitions to a dual concave as it exits the tail. This innovative design helps to improve the board's water handling and overall performance.

The Droid also boasts a hybrid rail design and toolless fin boxes, providing riders with increased customization and versatility. The machined EVA traction, with a corduroy finish, ensures a secure and comfortable grip for the rider.

Hyperlite's dedication to delivering the finest line of wakeboards, bindings, wakesurfers, vests, ropes, and handles is evident in the Droid. The brand's partnership with Varial Surf has also allowed them to introduce a exceptional line of surfers, utilizing aerospace-grade materials and manufacturing processes right here in the USA.
