Hyperlite Droid Wakesurfer 5’3” 2023
Hyperlite Droid Wakesurfer 2023
Longboard Style Surfer With Added Volume For Larger Riders.
The Droid is a longboard style surfer for behind the boat. The longboard volume makes this board ideal for the larger fellas as increased volume creates lift, speed & push. The longboard volume also ensures the Droid will perform well on all wake sizes including the smaller style waves. The Droid’s tail shape, features and Tri-Fin set up deliver great maneuverability for such a large shape. Plant your foot on the tail for ripping turns or center yourself for that classic down the line longboard sensation. The Droid is big and fun, but it’s no pig!

TECH DETAILS
HANDMADE EPOXY CONSTRUCTION
Hyperlite introduces another construction method into the Wakesurf quiver. Our Handmade Epoxy Construction compliments the Hyperlite range with that handmade feel at a great price. An epoxy wakesurfer is made using a polystyrene core which is coated with epoxy resin, similar to most ocean surfboard methods. Centered is Hyperlite’s bamboo stinger and we use a stronger fiberglass cloth to limit denting while handling airs in the wave. This season we are stoked to introduce to shapes, The Droid and Wingman, featuring our new handmade epoxy construction.
EPS CORE
Expanded polystyrene foam provides a super lightweight and durable core.
SINGLE TO DOUBLE CONCAVE
Channels water down the belly of the board transitioning to dual concave exiting tail.
HYBRID RAIL DESIGN
Blending of sharper rails for speed and rounded rails for carving, cruising and feel.
SPOON TIP DESIGN
Provides lift and added bite on the face of the wave.
THRUSTER TRI FIN
Surfing’s most popular setup, tri-fin is ideal for surfers of all ability levels, the 3rd or center fin provides additional stability and maneuverability.
TAIL PROFILE – MID
Traditional surfboard tail shape for quick carving and maneuverability.
TAIL SHAPE – SQUASH
A squarer back with rounded corners delivering a snappy feel with increased hold in the wave.
FCS II TOOLESS FIN BOXES
The FCS II system made it possible to install and remove your fins in seconds, without the need for any screws or tools. Game changer!
MACHINED EVA TRACTION – CORDUROY
Ultra grade EVA foam machined into subtle ridge shapes with a rough finish increases grip and hold.
