A wood/hard durometer EVA version of the Byerly skate. Laminated with 9 layers of Canadian Maple and a foam, Byerly shaped concave top. This non-machined wood concave series comes with a radiused sidewall and out super tacky deck material. A harder edging shape than last year's. Pro model performance on a budget.

Piece of junk- foam came off, paint peeled and wood swelled in just a few sessions. Contacted seller and hyperlite and they said it was basically a "disposable" board- wouldn’t warranty it even less than a year old. Definitely a bad taste in my mouth now for hyperlites.

i had the exact same problem as the other guy, the foam started coming off on my third outting, and the paint was chipping immediately. i glued the foam back on using gorilla glue, it works great. but it expands up so u have to clean out the holes for the fin screws. plus my mom painted it for me. the spray paint she used stays on better than the original paint. quality on this one does suck!

this board was loads of fun that is why I gave it a rating of five on how it rides. however it fell apart after two outings. so for the 180 dollars spent on it I think you should find a board that the paint and foot grips will stay on longer than two rides. cool board. quality sucks.
