The Freepress is one wild ride of a cable wakeboard, specifically because JB O'Neill wanted a board that he could feel free to press whenever he wanted. One of the softest boards Hyperlite makes is built to eat obstacles for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Shaped with a reinforced rockerline but a super-thin, flat base tip and tail so you can roll right into any press. Adding to its performance is a bamboo laminate top sheet; working with the wood core gives you extra pop from the board off presses and kickers. A parabolic base channel gives you the traction you need on the water to get you where you need to go, while a beveled edge profile allows you to get that super smooth cut, whether you're on the backseat or over the edges of the board. For toughness, the Freepress is capped off with a urethane sidewall, and industry-standard sintered enduro base, so from slider to edge hits, you can keep pressing every obstacle for as long as your heart desires.

Core Construction

- Bamboo Pop Top - A bamboo laminate over the core to give that bit of extra zip off any press or the top of a kicker.
- Reinforced Rocker Area - Exactly what it sounds like, a built-up area around the rocker areas that cop the most abuse, making sure you get the life out of your board.
- Thinnest Tip/Tail Profile
Rails/Edges
- Urethane Sidewalls - A single poured impact-absorbing sidewall, making sure you can ride without the worry of hits and delams.
- Tip to Tail Edge Bevel - Makes tearing up the park super easy, like a knife through butter this edge, no matter where you're sitting on the board, will get you to where you need to go.
Laminates
- Balanced Bi-Axial Fibreglass - Keeping the flex of your board consistent over time, so year after year, you get that same feel like it's the first time riding.
