the top one ain't bad, but i'd say best premier graphics are '02, '03 and '04 135s, and of course the 03 140 cause thats the one i have

The top one is serviceable. I'm sorry I've had 4 Premier's and I didn't get this years just because I refuse to ride a pink board. (The 03 DNA is pink too). Seriously, what's the facination with pink.

i got tired of riding a purple board so i painted it black. didn't get a new board because i like the way it rides

pink, yellow and hot green etc are coming back into style if you havent noticed with the recent colors in boats being green, orange, horrell has a black and pink nautique I think... Pink is wild and in, pretty cool colors in those graphics if you ask me... but they prolly are more appealing to a younger generation than old...

chavezychavez 08-10-2004, 10:01 AM

Graphics are too loud. The Premier never should have left the 02 or 03 graphic style IMO.

Not too into the DNA graphics, but the biolite ones are cool this year... I think I'll be sporting the 141 biolite. Maybe the DNA boards look gay because DNA is gay. Just kidding (I know that'll piss someone off, but really if Danny doesn't need DNA, then why do we).

Speaking of Danny Harf lineup...
Why haven't we seen a Premier Boot yet?

all of them are fugly... but cool because there original.

On the top picture on the bottom side of the board. Is that a siloehette of a woman with strategically placed stars?

jonnyrotten79 08-10-2004, 11:48 AM

uh i think they look girly except for the top one... but the botom ones have like baby blue and pink and stars... and im over that

jonnyrotten79 08-10-2004, 11:49 AM

o yea and wat size is the middle one?? the top is 138 and the bottoms a 141... wat size is the middle on?

(malibuboarder75)

Duane wheeler...did you mean randy harris nautique is black and pink? Horrel rides for session boats, not nautique. But randy does have a black and pink 210.

(jwat142) · (jwat142) **Join Date: Jan 2002** 08-10-2004, 1:38 PM

The top board is actually a 136, not 138. The second one is the DNA 136. The last one is the DNA 141.

(wakebordr11) · (wakebordr11) **Join Date: May 2001** 08-10-2004, 5:11 PM

yea I thought about that after I posted but never came back to edit it, I think pink is hot... when used correctly, and that black and pink nauti is f'en SWWEEEET
Now that i look at the graphics, Im not all about ths stars, but the colors are pretty good I think... just needs some more thought on the graphics, the first 3 years of the premier, I loved the graphics, the parks as well 03 and 04...

(wakebordr11) · (wakebordr11) **Join Date: May 2001** 08-10-2004, 5:13 PM

by the way, if anyone snow skis, K2's freestyle ski graphics... the public enemy, fugative and seth pistols, thats where its at as far as graphics, so much complexity and art in those, they're awesome

(flashalexb) · (flashalexb) **Join Date: May 2004** 08-10-2004, 6:15 PM

Yea the premier looks worse and worse every year.

shiftywakeskate 08-10-2004, 7:13 PM

i think danny should get some good graphic ideas from scott byerly. he usually has sweet looking graphics and his 2005 line up didnt disapoint me

essy 08-10-2004, 11:53 PM

worst imitation of the groovy 60s design i have ever come across!

(toolfan) · (toolfan) **Join Date: Jul 2003** 08-11-2004, 6:42 AM

Com'on guys! HL is just pushing the limits. if it wasnt for companies like them, we would be riding stale looking boards like the Absolute and Subject.

(tantrum20) · (tantrum20) **Join Date: Nov 2001** 08-11-2004, 6:42 AM

FYI, that hot flashy pink used with black and white comes from the old school punk trend of the 80's... at least the DNA graphic on the 04 did... kinda like the 03 Scotty Withelake's M3 pro model for the ones who know about snowboard... Scotty's a real old school punk and has been seen riding with a black and pink sweater(so there was nothing gay about it)...
as for the 05 graphics, I think they're interesting, but the colors really are ugly...

(toolfan) · (toolfan) **Join Date: Jul 2003** 08-11-2004, 6:43 AM

just kidding. those graphics gave me diarreha.

(timmy) · (timmy) **Join Date: Jul 2001** 08-11-2004, 6:53 AM

nothin a can of krylon can't take care of.

(tantrum20) · (tantrum20) **Join Date: Nov 2001** 08-11-2004, 7:01 AM

lol... this is a good one toolfan... HL pushes the limits of the sports... this year with how many... wow 2 new shapes... o yeah right and a binding line that's still way behind liquid force...
oh you might talk about graphics... that may be the only innovative thing that they have to offer... lol

r_dub 08-11-2004, 7:08 AM

You know, what happened here? For a couple of years there, I thought the premier had the coolest graphics of any board.
By the way Jonathan, Scotty Whitlake kicks ass. That dude is crazy, but has paid for it. If I remember correctly, he had to have some reconstructive surgery in result of his crazzyness. But you are right, that dude is total punk rock. No half steppin, that guy goes all out.

africantapwater 08-11-2004, 7:13 AM

is it only me or do the graphics look like ads for circus shows to anyone else?

(tantrum20) · (tantrum20) **Join Date: Nov 2001** 08-11-2004, 7:23 AM

yeah it does...

(wakeriderixi) · (wakeriderixi) **Join Date: Jan 2004** 08-11-2004, 10:25 AM

Yea but they designed the boards for themselves after already designed a few graphics for their boards in the past. If someone really doesn't like it then they can become pro and design their own! Or Not ride HL because they have nothing innovative to offer... Or Ride HL because they have innovative things to offer... Or at least come up with some comments that are constructive like critiqueing the riding characteristics and functionality of the products.

"o yeah right and a binding line that's still way behind liquid force"

Jonathan, did you see the post by Andrew from Colorado? He recently went into a shop to buy some new liquid force bindings. After going through the entire inventory of 15 pairs, he and the salesman found 2 pairs that weren't defective! The store was sending the entire shippment back to LF.

Did you see the other one? Where a bunch of guys had the base plates rip off their brand new LF bindings? I wouldn't say LF is ahead of anyone in the binding department. They look really cool though.

O'Brien! Zippers Rule!

snoobs 08-11-2004, 11:07 AM

its a decent board...but why are the colors so freaking fruity! They need to make a drastic change. Get a tatoo artist, or something. They need to do it now! No wonder GB is selling so many Ricky G's.

(tantrum20) · (tantrum20) **Join Date: Nov 2001** 08-11-2004, 11:10 AM

J-rod... even with that said, I still thinks LF pushes way more to get the best stuff out there... and it doesn't weight 200 lbs...
zippers are lame and doesn't deserve to be used on bindings... they just don't work well under a lot of tension and create a zone were the binding don't stretch...

(toolfan) · (toolfan) **Join Date: Jul 2003** 08-11-2004, 11:44 AM

easy with the zippers comment. we have been down that road before.

(bigjackamo) · (bigjackamo) **Join Date: Aug 2002** 08-11-2004, 12:09 PM

I hate to say this but the majority of wakeboards sold are sold on looks not preformance. I know we are all telling people to ride the boards before they buy, but the truth is most people will buy a board based on how it looks (or who's name is on it)vs. how it rides. (i.e. see the sales of the Parks boards, big fan of Parks just not the board).

Given that I would think that it would be in the best intrest of Hyperlite to make good graphics.

(obrienride16) · (obrienride16) **Join Date: Jul 2001** 08-11-2004, 12:22 PM

the non dna boards look good. im not so much for the pink but the graphics still look pretty sick. plus the board flat out kills it. who cares if there is a little pink as long as it rides well.

(jarrod) · (jarrod) **Join Date: May 2003** 08-11-2004, 12:23 PM

"O'Brien! Zippers Rule!"
-That was an inside joke.

"even with that said, I still thinks LF pushes way more to get the best stuff out there"
-Maybe they should focus more on QA.
