2004 Hyperlite Parks 138
The shape that pushes all the limits for even the most aggressive riders. Hyperlite's best-selling personality line is designed to bury the rail and make every jump feel like a double up with our most explosive rocker line. Push the boundaries of freestyle wakeboarding.
Parks rode in contests as the one to watch and left us in amazement with every one of his video parts. From pulling a switch double back roll mobius to gapping 50+ feet with a backside 3 on an A-frame, Bonifay and his 138cm both showed they are wreaking havoc with every slash. This high performance line of boards now comes with four new 1.1" A-Wings created for less bite on the water while keeping the powerful Parks drive. The 11-degree angled fins initiate mellow and end hard, combining freeride smoothness and a solid response all in one turn. |

This board is amazing! It has unbelievable pop and tracks like no other. Landings are pretty soft too. I ride this board with the parks bindings and it is the best setup io have ever ridden. Overall i rated this board 4/5.

I must say, this board has loads of pop, is extremely fast, has really soft landings, and even with the huge 3-stage rocker you can still manage to get this baby sideways and do some surface tricks....this board with my awesome NICE bindings is the best I’ve ever ridden

After demoing several boards including the TFD DNA 136, the Temet Biolite 138 and then this Parks 138 Bio, all I can say is PARKS PARKS PARKS. I would rank the 3 boards
1. Parks 138 Biolite
2. TFD 136 DNA
3. Temet 138
The temet was aweful in my opion. You had to work hard to edge out toeside, the edge back in healside was ok but the pop was lacking.
The TFD was almost identical to the Parks in pop off the wake but the Parks was much more forgiving on the landings and did have a more aggressive edge when cutting.
The Parks 138 with the Zues bindings setup is by far the best ride I have ever ridden on. Worth every penny!

Very hard to get a handle on.It cuts hard like a waterski but other than that very unpredictable and the pop was well below the hyped-up rating.

this board is sick. first of all it is as fast as hell i have never riden a board that tracks and is as aggresive as this one. the pop is huge. i mean i can do 360*’s from the inside of the wake out with the pop this thing gives you. insane board and if u dont mind dishin out the dough go and buy it.

This board will take your riding to the next level in about three seconds. It does take some adjusting but the learning curve is steep. If you like INSANE air this is your ticket. Feels like a kite when you hit the wake, almost like it has lift. I also taught first timers how to ride on this board and I have never seen anyone learn how to ride so fast. I did give it a four on speed because you do have to speed the boat up to truly haul ass, but with this board hauling ass is not necessary to get huge air every time, yikes.

This is the best board I have ever riden. I get more pop then I have ever got before and the landings are so smooth. I would recommend this board only to advanced riders though because it kicks you off of the wake really hard.

I started riding this board after riding a LF Trip for 3 years. The Parks is slower on turns and doesn’t get on the gas right away. Landing really big jumps tends to stop the board in the water.

This is an asome board. its got the softet landings and the pop is grate. it tracks grate to. If you dont like this board your not using it right. Hey If parks bonifay uses this board and hes awsome then its good enough for you (and he doesnt use the DNA).

This board is amazing with the combination of the board speed and the pop. I would recomend this board to everyone. It rides so smooth. The last board I rode was a Hyperlyte motive 140 and this board is better

this is the best hyper lite board ever! i’ve ridden other boards but nothing really feels even as close to ride of this board! especially when you combine this with the parks boots too!

I had previously ridden an ’03 Parks 143, and this board is by far the smoothest of the two for my weight (175lbs.). The tracking is unreal and the landings are the softest yet. AMAZING BOARD!

i bought this board straight of the shelf and was so dissapointed when i rid it i was riding a jobe 138 jerry nunn before and thought this board would be ausome but no it tracks hard but u cant throw it into the cut other wise it skips out and skids also if u think this board has a good buck of the wake get hold of a jerry nunn jobe board (they dont make them any more) and have a go on both of them take pictures and look at the evidence yourself

im gald i spent the money on this board the ride is so smooth and the landings are the smoothest I’v ever had and when you cut the board isnt hard to break loose they did the right thing with putting 1.1 fins on it this year insted of the 1.3 the board fells just right on the water not to skatty or to edggy i like the popon this board its so explosive hyperlite did a good job on this board if your looking for a new board i say buy this one.

This board has the most pop of any board i have ever ridden, but it has very hard and sketchy landings. I never got to try it on sliders because i just demoed it but im sure it works fine. Great board if you dont mind hard landings.

I ride a parks 133 DNA and love it. Right now i have an 03 but i work at a hyperlite dealarship "Trinity Board Shop" with Maeghan Major and have seen the 04 graphics which kick ass. I ride with 1.1 a wings instead of the 1.3s which give it a losser feal but doesent change the board much otherwise. I would give it a perfect score but the landing’s are less forgiving than on other boards because of it’s agressive rocker and the extra pop you get. In the end i think the air time makes up for the rough landings and recomend that you demo this board. Be shure to demo any board before you buy it and look into trinity’s "try before you buy" policy at trinity.com where if you dont like the board you can send it back.
