BSide / B-Side 2011 Wakeboard >>
Wake / Kite Binding Stance: When mounting your bindings on a wake or kiteboard, it is important to start off with a wider stance when learning, and then adjust it once you are more comfortable on the board. The wider stance gives you more stability and most people will always ride with their feet angled outward, also known as a duck stance.
If you feel pressure on either or both knees, or on the outside of your feet, the chances are your feet are parallel or straight on the board and you need to angle them outward a little more.
Try wakeboarding or kiteboarding with several different stances to find out what works best for you.
How is a kiteboard different from a wakeboard? Wakeboarding is a great way to keep up with your skills when there is not enough wind for kiteboarding. Your skills are already honed for wakeboarding and you will have no trouble getting up and moving.
Kiteboards may look the same but they are very different from one another. A kiteboard has a concave bottom unlike the convex bottom of a wake board. Kiteboarders constantly ride on the edge of their board a lot like a snowboarder carving down a slope. The concave bottom helps kiteboarders to cut into the water holding a better edge, and helping them to stay upwind and are also designed to handle waves.
Wakeboards are designed to be thrusted off the tail, riding behind a a boat or cable e at higher speeds and typically on flat water. They are typically heavier due to the bindings but act as a counter weight aiding rotation speed in the quick jumps off a boat /cable wake. Their stiffness and rocker are designed for hard landings.
For beginners a wakeboard with a lot of rocker will feel loose, but it will teach you how to edge correctly rather than relying heavily on fins. In contrast, less rocker allows wakeboards to move faster, hook up better and become more aggressive. The wakeboard rider can be more aggressive with his turns and really edge hard through the wake.
If you’re the type of wakeboard / kiteboarder who loves to turn fast, go big and land out in the flats but you ride a bigger, steeper wake, try to find wakeboards with medium rocker. The slower, smoother and more wake-to-wake your style is, the more rocker you need in your wakeboards.

DescriptionThe Hyperlite BSide 2011 Wakeboard is where it's at! Beginning with the rocker line, which is now set at a 2.6" Blended 3-stage, the new B-Side carries more speed into the wake than ever before.
This series also features a shallower, ABS polymer molded-in fin that ends nearly an inch from the tip of the board for a buttery smooth release off the wake and maximum durability on sliders.
The elevated footbed reinforces the fore body of the deck to maintain a solid rocker line off the wake, but also allows for a thinned out tip and tail creating minimum swing weight and great control on rails. This all new series is truly a freeride masterpiece.
Features:
Blended Rocker: Incorporating a 3-stage rocker line in the belly and a continuous rocker line around the edges.
Elevated Footbed: Reinforces the fore body of the deck to maintain a solid rocker line off the wake, but also allows for a thinned out tip and tail creating minimum swing weight and great control on rails.
2 x Molded Poly A-Wing
Fins:
