Hyperlite’s CRASH & SMASH – Wakeboard Fails of 2019

These videos are always either hard to watch or addictive by nature, seeing pure carnage. Whatever floats your boat, you need to check out the edit that Spencer Norris put together for Hyperlite. Watch both street winching and boat riding get equally BROKE OFF with some sinister tunes.

“Crash & Smash is right, it happens when you push yourself in Wakeboarding and there is a price to pay for progression. Shaun Murray refers to it as the Fun Tax. Luckily for the Hyperlite Team the list of injuries during the 2019 season was minimal and manageable, going into 2020 we are healthier than years past. Looking back at all of the wakeboard fails it’s easy to see the passion our crew has for their craft. This is just a small compilation of the wrecks, smashes, close calls and miraculous ride outs from last season. You can see some tricks being developed, watch that spiny flippy thing Trever Maur is attempting. Or Rusty Malinoski pulling himself to safety mid double up and Cody Hesse riding away from kicker hits where we’d all have dropped the handle. Remember to always wear your Life Jacket and be safe while you push yourself on your next wakeboard adventure.” Read More >

2020 Atlanta Boat Show with Watersports Central and Nautique Boats

It’s the season for Boat Shows and if you had to guess which one is the best to attend here is a hint – Atlanta! Our partners at Watersports Central are the premier Nautique dealership in the south and they had some of the best looking Nautique boats for 2020. GS series, G series, Ski Nautique, and the beast of the show which is the new G23 Paragon. It’s true the Paragon is expensive, but it is the absolute best….no details over looked. You don’t need to spend $267,000 on a Paragon and you can have just as much fun in a GS20 for a far less price tag.

The Atlanta Boat Show continues to grow and attract tens of thousands of people every year. Saturday was by far one of the most fun days spent talking with everyone about the boats and hearing about their love for towed watersports. The conciseness is we all miss boating weather and can’t wait for the season to come. Congratulations Watersports Central who won Best Overall Display for the 2020 Atlanta Boat Show! 👑. Read More >

The Nautique Wakesurf Masters at Callaway Gardens

This year the WWA and Nautique had 6 stops all over the world for their Wakesurf Series. The final event was this weekend at the legendary Robin Lake at Callaway Gardens, home of the Masters Water Ski & Wakeboard Tournament. The temperatures were high and the amount of money being given away was even higher. A total of $60,000 was awarded to both pro and amateur wakesurf divisions this weekend. That is not a typo. BuyWake teamed up with Hyperlite and had some of the latest 2020 wakesurfers to show those that were at the event. A few lucky people picked up some goods to take home with them. One of the highlights was seeing the new 2020 Nautique G23 in action all weekend, but for a couple of the boys here it was being able to wakesurf behind the event boat and on Robin Lake for the first time. We look forward to another great time at Callaway Gardens! Read More >

Summer Ride Tour – ATLANTA with Phase Five Wakesurfing.

In the third installment of the Summer Ride Tour, John Akerman stopped by the shop and scooped up the van for a road trip to Atlanta. The first stop was the Liner’s house (AKA Surf Dad and Surf Mom) where the crew stayed for the majority of the trip. They were absolutely amazing hosts! The boys surfed their brains out and one of the trip highlights was John signing Gabe’s Nautique G23! After a fun stay with the Liners, they packed up the van and had a demo day with Watersports Central and BuyWake.com on Lake Allatoona at the famous Blue Cat Lodge location. John spent the day coaching up everyone that came out. One of those riders was P5 team rider Jake Borton. Jake is one the best wakesurf enthusiasts we know and he reps P5 with a passion. The boys were stoked to get to hang out with him. Final stop on this road trip was with P5 team rider Leland Watkins to surf and have a bit of foil fun. Thank you to all the friends and families that have come out and made it possible to ride some waves thus far on the Summer Ride Tour!
