At 5'9\" it is by far the longest board in the range, with Hyperlite's softest and thickest rail and a concave top deck for a forgiving, laid-back turn. It is the board for a first ropeless session, for heavier riders, and for anyone who would rather draw a long line than throw an air.\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. Damp, durable and tougher than the weight suggests.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSoftest, Thickest Rail:\u003c\/b\u003e Hyperlite's own claim, and the defining feature. A soft, thick rail rolls into a turn instead of catching, so a rider still finding their feet does not get spat off the front.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eConcave Top Deck:\u003c\/b\u003e A dished deck rather than a flat one. Your feet locate themselves without looking down, which is worth a great deal in the first few sets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSingle Concave Base:\u003c\/b\u003e One concave through the base for a smooth surf feel and easy transitions. It keeps 5'9\" of board tracking straight rather than wandering.\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. Plenty of hold, which on a longboard shape is exactly right — this board is meant to carve, not slide.\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 Landlock from the beginner end to about 30%, so this is a first-board and cruiser shape, and the brand is upfront about it. The number that matters most is the \u003cb\u003ePush Meter\u003c\/b\u003e: at 2\/4 this is the only board in the entire 2027 wakesurf range rated to work on a genuinely small wake, which makes it the obvious choice behind a boat that is not purpose-built for surfing. Who it isn't for: riders chasing airs and rotations, who want the Lobo or the Broadcast. Worth noting: Hyperlite's speed marker sits near the fast end despite the mellow pitch, and length is what carries it.\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\u003e5'9\":\u003c\/b\u003e 20.1 litres · 20.25\" wide · riders up to 136 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eOne size, and it is a big one. Rocker runs 3.2\" tip and 1.0\" tail. The 136 kg rider ceiling is the highest of any 2027 Hyperlite wakesurfer by a clear margin, which is the other reason this board exists — larger riders are badly served by this category.

Hyperlite rates it 2\/4 on push, where every other 2027 wakesurfer sits at 3\/4 or full. If your boat throws a modest wave, or you are just adding ballast for the first time, this is the board that will still work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs it too big for a normal rider?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot necessarily. Length is what makes a wave catchable, and a beginner of any size will get up and stay up on a Landlock faster than on anything shorter. You will outgrow it if you want to spin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLandlock or Broadcast?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Landlock is longer, softer-railed and rated for a smaller wave and a heavier rider. The Broadcast is shorter, comes in two sizes and has more in it for a rider who wants to progress toward airs. Same three-fin Fish setup on both.\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.
