It sits at Flex Factor 5, the softest end of Hyperlite's five-point cable scale, in two sizes. Built for riding features, not for the wake behind a boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eKey Technical Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWoodlite Core:\u003c\/b\u003e One hundred per cent sustainable paulownia. Snappier and more durable than foam through a season of flat landings, and light enough that a lighter rider can still swing it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSatin Flex:\u003c\/b\u003e Hyperlite's women's-specific tuning, layered onto a shape already at the soft end of the cable scale. The board loads and returns at pressures a lighter rider can generate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFlat Tip \/ Tail Base Design with Mid-Body Channels:\u003c\/b\u003e Flat through the ends for a predictable, low-catch feel on features, with channels through the middle for hold when you carry speed. The bevel runs the whole way around.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSintered Base \u0026amp; Urethane Sidewall:\u003c\/b\u003e A sintered base takes abuse and holds wax; a urethane sidewall absorbs the side-on hits that kill a park board.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFlex Factor 5:\u003c\/b\u003e On Hyperlite's 1 to 5 cable scale, 1 is a standard flex and 4 and 5 are the softest, most pressable shapes. The Aries sits at the top with the Pleasure and Impulse.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eIntermediate park riding, cable only. Between Satin Flex and a Flex Factor 5 shape, the Aries is the easiest board in Hyperlite's 2027 range for a lighter rider to actually bend, which is the whole game on a rail. Hyperlite's own framing is competition-capable rather than beginner, and warranty on any cable board ends when it meets an obstacle. Who it isn't for: want a firmer board, the Forge is a 3. Behind a boat, the Journey or the Prizm. Want this flex without the women's tuning and in more sizes, the Pleasure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSize Guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e142 cm:\u003c\/b\u003e riders 45-64 kg · 2.8\" rocker · 845 sq in · 16.75\" wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e146 cm:\u003c\/b\u003e riders 68 kg and up · 2.9\" rocker · 875 sq in · 16.875\" wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe Aries has no page in Hyperlite's 2027 dealer catalogue, appearing only in the cable Flex Factor table, so the figures above come from our supplier range file and hyperlite.com. Mind the gap between the two published ranges: riders between about 64 and 68 kg fall between sizes, so talk to us. No fin spec is published either, and the rest of the range ships finless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eQuick Answers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAries or Pleasure?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth are Woodlite paulownia boards at Flex Factor 5, so the flex ceiling is the same. The Aries adds Satin Flex and runs two sizes. The Pleasure runs five sizes from 138 to 156 without the women's tuning.
