2027 Hyperlite Capitol Wakeboard | Cory Teunissen's Shape, Standard Core The 2027 Hyperlite Capitol is Cory Teunissen's pro shape on Hyperlite's Biolite 3 Core, built for the same explosive riding as the Loaded version at roughly half the money. A Blended 3-Stage Rocker delivers the pop, sharp exit channels release the tail cleanly, and a Dual Concave Base in the belly holds speed through a carve and on the approach to the wake. Key Technical Features Biolite 3 Core: Hyperlite's PU foam core in a fibreglass wrap. Light in the swing, damp underfoot, and considerably tougher than the weight suggests. 12K Carbon Stringer - Top & Base: Carbon laid into both laminates, adding stiffness along the board's length so a hard edge turns into lift rather than flex. Blended 3-Stage Rocker: The transitions between the flat section and the kick are smoothed out, so the board keeps drive across the flats while still going vertical off the wake. Sharp Exit Channels Tip & Tail: Channels cut into the ends of the base. They break the suction as the board leaves the water, which is what makes the release feel quick and clean. Minimum Swing Weight Profile: Material pulled out of the tip and tail, so the board is easy to throw and easy to stop. Edge-to-edge transitions cost you almost nothing. Why You'll Love It Hyperlite's skill bar runs the Capitol from about a quarter of the way up the scale to 90 per cent, so it opens further down than the Capitol Loaded and still has room at the top: a genuine progression board with a pro shape underneath. Pop is rated near the top of the range, speed deliberately mid. Who it isn't for: if you are still working on getting over the wake, the State 2.0 or the Sender is a friendlier place to learn. If you are already advanced and want the lighter carbon build, the Capitol Loaded is this shape. Size Guide 139 cm: riders 64-86 kg · 856 sq in · 17.25" wide · 22-26" stance 143 cm: riders 73-95 kg · 886 sq in · 17.375" wide · 23-27" stance Hyperlite's spec sheet and its 2027 catalogue name this board's rockerline differently, so we have quoted the catalogue's Blended 3-Stage and left the rocker height out rather than pick a side. Board only, four .7 inch beam fins included, bindings separate on M6 inserts. Quick Answers Capitol or Rage?Both are aggressive boat boards at the same price. The Capitol runs a blended three-stage with sharp exit channels and a lower speed rating. The Rage runs a classic three-stage, sits higher for speed and asks more of your edge. Capitol for timing and spins, Rage for raw height. Capitol or Capitol Loaded?Same shape, same sizes. The Loaded adds a PVC 100 core and two 3mm fibreglass rods, and Hyperlite starts its skill bar halfway up the scale rather than a quarter. Buy the Capitol first. Which size should I be on?64-86 kg is the 139 and 73-95 kg is the 143. In the overlap, the shorter board spins easier and the longer one lands softer.
