A wider tail drives the acceleration and a blunt tip and tail profile keeps it tracking straight when you are riding switch. Hyperlite rates it at the top of the range for both pop and carve.\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\u003eWoven Carbon Construction:\u003c\/b\u003e A woven carbon laminate rather than a plain sheet, so load spreads across the board instead of concentrating. Stiff, light, quick to rebound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNova Core:\u003c\/b\u003e Hyperlite's lightweight core for the carbon skim boards. Low swing weight is what lets a board this fast still rotate quickly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMinimal Rocker \/ Flat Base:\u003c\/b\u003e Almost no curve through the base. All the speed and lift the Storm generates starts here, and it is why the board accelerates the moment you weight the tail.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWide Tail with Blunt Tip \u0026amp; Tail Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e Extra surface area right at both ends for acceleration off the bottom, and a squared-off outline that tracks cleanly when you land and ride away switch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFins: 1.25\" Solo Skim Fin (1):\u003c\/b\u003e A single low-profile skim fin. Enough to hold a line when you want one, little enough to let the tail slide the instant you unweight it.\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 opens the Storm at about a fifth of the way up the scale and runs it clean to the expert end — one of the widest ranges in the 2027 book, and a fair reflection of a board that is approachable to ride but has a long ceiling. The \u003cb\u003ePush Meter\u003c\/b\u003e is 3\/4 and the wave size is rated XLG, so it needs a properly weighted boat behind it. Who it isn't for: riders who have never ridden without the rope, or anyone on a small wake. Start on the Hi-Fi or the Shift. Riders chasing competition skim should compare it against the Raven.\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\u003e4'2\":\u003c\/b\u003e Hyperlite rates riders up to 86 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e4'6\":\u003c\/b\u003e Hyperlite rates riders up to 100 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAlso made in 3'9\". Hyperlite publishes no volume table for the Storm, and its website lists the smallest Storm under a different length and gives two sizes the same volume and width, so we will not quote those numbers. Ask us and we will size you off weight and wave.\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\u003eSkim or surf?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSkim, and firmly so. Flat base, sharp rail, one small fin. It slides, spins and rides switch rather than driving down the line. If you want drive and hold, the Frother and the Accelerator are the twin-fin surf answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eStorm or Shift?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConstruction. The Storm is Woven Carbon over a Nova Core; the Shift is handcrafted epoxy over an EPS core with a wood stringer, and costs a good deal less. Worth knowing: Hyperlite prints near-identical copy for both, but rates the Storm far higher for pop and carve. Trust the graphic, not the paragraph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat wave does it need?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRated XLG with a 3\/4 push, so a long, clean, well-weighted wake. A skim board makes its own speed but still needs a face to carry it. On a smaller wave, go surf-style.\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.
