Just got back from a visit to the Hyperlite booth and it has to be the most changes from last year's. Before HO/Hyperlite have always gone with a closed-off booth that you can only get into and out of from a couple spots. This year's booth is wide open with product everywhere for all the Expo-ites to check out.

The new Hyperlite stuff for '09 is going to turn some heads, especially the boots. A lot of R&D went into this years water shoes and the riders are stoked. I think the big winner may be the Era boots, which are totally redesigned and feature a closed-toe construction for '09. Also new for '09 are the Marek boots to go along with Rusty's signature Marek board.

Another cool note is Murray's "going green" push for his pro model line. Proceeds from the purchase of his board or bindings will be donated to causes that help protect the environment. So now you can wakeboard and help Mother Nature. Talk about a great day on the water…

Keep coming back, we've got more stuff coming up on the site soon… including a new Company…
