The Hyperlite Motive Wakeboard is an excellent choice for a new rider's first wakeboard. This board is great for beginner riders who enjoy the feel of the free ride series. It gives a calmer turn with smoother lift off the wake. This Motive wakeboard is exactly what young riders need for the first time riding the wake! Featuring molded-in, non-removable fins, the Motive wakeboard has some extra stability and solid edge hold. It also has a Continuous Rocker, which is built for speed with minimal drag, and predictable pop. Another great element of this board is the molded landing feature, designed specifically to disperse water on impact to give the rider a much softer landing every time. This feature is great for riders at the beginner/intermediate level!
