The Perfect Crossover: Hyperlite Shim Wakesurf Board 2025
This Wakesurf Board Is Best For:
- Hybrid Riders: The Shim blends both skim and surf styles, giving you the flexibility to ride how you want—whether you're carving or throwing rotational tricks.
- Intermediate to Advanced Riders: Fast rocker and shorter profile allow the Shim to carry speed and remain highly maneuverable for air tricks and spins.
- Versatility Seekers: Customize your ride by running all three fins for a surf-style hold, or just the center fin for a looser, skim-style feel.
- Durability Enthusiasts: DuraShell Construction combines the buoyancy and performance of an EPS board with the durability of compression molding.
The 2025 Hyperlite Shim Wakesurf Board is the ultimate hybrid board, offering the best of both surf and skim styles. Designed for intermediate to advanced riders, the Shim features a fast rocker that carries speed anywhere on the wave, while its shorter, maneuverable profile makes it perfect for rotational tricks and airs. The DuraShell Construction provides the buoyancy and lightweight feel of a high-end EPS core, combined with the durability needed for heavy use, making the Shim a must-have for riders pushing their limits.
With its single concave base, vented tail channels, and diamond-shaped tail, the Shim delivers excellent control while remaining playful and responsive. The included three-fin setup allows you to tailor your ride to your preferences—use all three fins for more stability and hold, or switch to just the center fin for a looser, skim-style ride that’s perfect for spins and slides.
