Well, with Ronix producing wakeboards that are so much lighter (allowing for at least a 50% performance boost and 75% more air off the wake), Hyperlite will be losing a chunk of its 12-18 year-old client base. Haha. Fiscally, 2007 might not be the best for hyperlite, BUT I want to get out and ride that new Byerly AND Imperial. They've got a lot of fun, really interesting shapes, so I think 2007 will be solid for them. One issue I think Hyperlite will encounter is in their graphics department... They set the standard for the LONGEST time, but I feel they have begun to slip. Sadly, good graphics WILL sell a board, and bad graphics WILL prevent people from buying a board. Liquid force, CWB and O'Brien I feel have stepped up and moved in front of Hyperlite artistically.
