I need a new board. I want a board that is good on sliders because i ride the cable alot and i ride wit no fins. I've been thinking about the hyperlite roam but i was wondering if its a good board to ride and jump wit.

Don't expect hyperlite or any other board company to warranty any board if you use it on a slider. Do you live near a boardshop that will let you demo? I would recommend demoing a few boards. Every board company has problems with boards and from what I have been told, is that the roam has had problems with delamination and cracking at the inserts. Hyperlite makes good stuff so I do not want people taking this has I am bashing on them but try riding boards from other companies you might be surprised in what you find. My only question is if you ride at a cable park alot why don't you buy some crap board to destory and save your good board for the lake? Best of luck with your decision.

That boat is a 2004 LSV 23. It has about 10 people in it with about 2500 pounds of ballast and 8.1 litre engine. The weight is divided 60/40

Nope, Honors go to Chris Wynn. WaterSki America helped transform this blue on blue LSV. All the hardware, rubber and chrome had to be taken off. Then a 3m wrap was applied. Kind-of like wallpaper

The man goes BIIIIIIG
