Shaun Murray certified, designed for every ability level, and built around a Dual Concave Base and a new rocker line that together give it a fast, responsive ride. Advanced riders can generate speed and air it out; everyone else can sit in the sweet spot of the curl and just enjoy the set.\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\u003eBiolite 3 Core:\u003c\/b\u003e Hyperlite's PU foam core wrapped in fibreglass. Light in the swing, damp underfoot and considerably tougher than the weight suggests — which matters on the board everyone in the boat will ride.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDual Concave Base:\u003c\/b\u003e Twin channels through the base funnel water for speed and edge control. It is the main reason a forgiving shape like this still feels quick rather than sluggish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNew Rocker Line:\u003c\/b\u003e Reworked curve for 2027. It lets beginners hold the sweet spot of the curl while giving stronger riders something to push against off the bottom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMonocoque Construction \u0026amp; Layered Glass:\u003c\/b\u003e Deck and base laminates bonded into a single shell, with the glass layered to tune flex. Impact spreads across the board rather than loading one point.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFins: 1.5\" Fish (2) \u0026amp; 2.4\" Fish (1):\u003c\/b\u003e A three-fin Fish setup in the box. Real hold for a rider still learning to stay in the pocket, and enough drive for someone who is not.\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;\"\u003eHyperlite's SKILL bar runs the Broadcast from the beginner end to about a third of the way up, so it is honestly a beginner-to-improver board — the dealer book's own claim that advanced riders can air it out is a stretch against its own graphic. The \u003cb\u003ePush Meter\u003c\/b\u003e reads 3\/4 and the wave size is rated MED, so a mid-sized wake is enough. Who it isn't for: riders chasing technical tricks, who want the Buzzmatic or a hybrid Shim. If your wave is genuinely small or your rider is heavy, the Landlock is the better call.\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\u003e4'8\":\u003c\/b\u003e 12.1 litres · 21.25\" wide · riders up to 86 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e5'4\":\u003c\/b\u003e 15.8 litres · 22\" wide · riders up to 113 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eTwo sizes, and note an inconsistency in Hyperlite's own dealer book: its size list prints 5'2\" while its part-number list prints 5'4\".

It drives rather than slides. Skim riders want the Hi-Fi or Shift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs it really an all-abilities board?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor learning and cruising, yes — it is one of the easiest boards here to get up on. For advanced riding, less so: Hyperlite's own skill graphic stops around a third of the way up the scale, whatever the paragraph says.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBroadcast or Gromcast?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSame construction, same fins, same family.
