First Impressions:

The first thing that struck me when I unboxed my new Hyperlite PBJ 138cm was the thickness and weight. Initially, I was put off as I thought that the board would be too heavy and be slow.

Nonetheless, I thought that the Hyperlite PBJ's graphics were awesome and had a real skateboard feel about it.

How the Board Rides:

Putting my scepticism aside, I took the 2015 PBJ out for it's first run at the New Forest Wake Park… and I was blown away! I found that the heavy weight of the board made hitting the features super stable and therefore giving me confidence to try new obstacles. I didn't feel the weight of the board under my feet but olling was noticeably more of an effort.

Even so, this wakeboard feels tougher than the kickers & sliders and will be very difficult to damage, which will definitely help if you decide to resell in the future.

Conclusion:

The 2015 Hyperlite PBJ is the perfect board for riders who are beginning to hit features at the cable park. The board is bomb proof which gives you the confidence to progress and try new tricks.

This board made me realise that my previous wakeboard was slowing my progression as it wasn't suited to my level. I felt that I have taken a two step back with this board, but by doing so, it has enable me to make twenty two steps forward.
