2005 Hyperlite Era 147
For 2005 we redesigned one of our most popular series of all time. The new Era series wakeboard comes with 16 fret rails. These rails are a variation of a step down rail and a flow thru rail. The fret rails do not sit as deep in the water as a step down rail. They are not as grippy as a flow thru rail. A fret rail was designed to be fast out of the hull. The new Era series wakeboard has a lot of the same characteristics as last year's. It is now clearly a quicker board overall. Through a turn and towards the wake. The wakeboard has more exaggerated bottom channels as well. This series has less friction on the water than any other 3-Stage wakeboard.

I lift a lot so I’m a big guy, I weigh about 250lbs and this, so far, is the only board that can get me out of the water. But I’m hooked! I rented one from a local shop here in Arizona and because I was able to get out of the water, after 2 years of trying with smaller boards, I bought it. It’s definitely a big board and makes other wakeboards look tiny in comparison. I’m happy with this board and since its an older model, it was priced right for me. I can’t wait to hit the wake here in a few weeks! Very stable and easy to get up with. I’m going to teach my son how to get up this year and we probably won’t even have to be moving for him to stand on this board!

This is the best board I’ve ridden in choppy water.

I was looking at getting the Motive 144, but I dealer said this was a much better board.
It is very easy to get up on, but at this point in my game I find the board a little bouncy.
Have been told that after I get my riding style down, I would be glad I got this board..
So for now I only give it a 4
