A wide profile gives ample surface area to get up on, and the short outline makes it genuinely manoeuvrable, so groms can learn power carves and spins rather than just standing there. Three removable fins let you change how it rides as they improve.\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 enough for a small rider to handle on the swim step, tough enough to survive being dropped on the dock repeatedly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWide Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e Surface area is what gets a light rider planing and keeps them there. The Gromcast is deliberately wide for its length, which is why kids get up on it first go far more often.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDual Concave Base:\u003c\/b\u003e Twin channels through the base add speed and stability. On a kids' board that stability is the whole game — it keeps the board tracking while they work out where their weight goes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMolded EVA Traction:\u003c\/b\u003e Cushy full moulded traction, which is more comfortable underfoot than machined pads and much kinder on bare young feet across a long afternoon.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFins: 1.5\" Fish (2) \u0026amp; 2.4\" Fish (1):\u003c\/b\u003e Three removable fins. Run all three for maximum hold while they are learning, then pull the centre once they want to start spinning.\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 Gromcast from the beginner end to about 30%, which is exactly what you want from a kids' board — easy at the start with somewhere to go. The \u003cb\u003ePush Meter\u003c\/b\u003e reads 3\/4 and the wave size is rated MED, so an average weighted wake is enough. Who it isn't for: bigger kids and teenagers. Hyperlite rates it to around 50 kg, and above that the 4'8\" Broadcast is the same shape in an adult size. If your wave is small, the Landlock is the range's only 2\/4 push board.\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\u003e3'9\":\u003c\/b\u003e 9.2 litres · 19.87\" wide · riders up to 50 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eOne size, 3'9\", and the dealer book, Hyperlite's website and the supplier range file all agree on it. Rocker is 2.6\" tip and 0.80\" tail. Three fins are included, two 1.5\" Fish and one 2.4\" Fish, so there is nothing else to buy before the first session.\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\u003eWhat age or size is it for?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHyperlite rates the Gromcast to around 50 kg, which covers most kids up to roughly early high school. Past that, move them onto the 4'8\" Broadcast — same core, same fins, adult dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSkim or surf?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSurf-style. Three Fish fins, a dual concave base and a wide, rolled outline all mean it drives and holds rather than sliding. That is the right call for a first board of any age — skim boards are much harder to learn on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDo I need to buy fins?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Three fins come in the box, two 1.5\" Fish and one 2.4\" Fish. Start with all three in for hold, then pull the centre fin when they want the tail to break loose for spins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eBuy Now at Welcome Boardstore for the best in authentic Wake gear and apparel.
