Making a Wakeboard with Scott Bouchard of Byerly and Hyperlite

Scott Bouchard’s name is synonymous with innovation, especially when it comes to wakeboard designs. He is the man behind the first finless Hyperlite Byerly pro model, the radical Hyperlite Byerly design from 2005 that featured four cut-away sections for water channelling, and countless other successful pro model wakeboards. His track record has earned the trust of top-tiered professional wakeboarders like JD Webb and Aaron Rathy, who recently commissioned Scott to R&D their 2014 shapes.

“After seeing Butch’s R&D facility first hand, then having him explain the wakeboard construction process, we could really see how much a Master he is at his craft”, explains BuyWake.com Creative Director, Derek Davis. “Butch probably understands hydrodynamics better than a Scientist.”

Here is a brief peak into the world of Scott Bouchard. Check it out as he takes us through the construction process and creates a one-of-a-kind Byerly flex wakeboard in front of your eyes. For more on the Hyperlite and Byerly team, product specials, and more, visit BuyWake.com today.

  1. I’m trying to sell my dads wakeboard it the last wakeboard pictured, he doesn’t need it anymore. I need the money for bills and love the board too much to sell for nothing. Do you have any idea of it’s worth? Top right says 3 139

    1. I’m not sure what that classic Byerly finless would be worth. Does it have bindings on it or is it just the blank board? I’d start by listing it on eBay, letgo, and/or OfferUp for $250…and go from there.
