Hyperlite Dipstick vs Franchise Wakeboard Review
Hyperlite Dipstick Vs Franchise Wakeboard
Beginners and regular wakeboarders with some experience could have trouble choosing an adequate board. On one side, they want a wakeboard with a reinforced tip and tail for rough impacts. On the other hand, they look for continuous and smooth carving without losing speed over wakes. We have been told, “Dipstick” is the strong one and “Franchise” is the fast one. Let’s take a closer look at these wakeboards below.Hyperlite 2021 Dipstick Wakeboard
It has been a long road or wake to achieve the correct endurance and carving. Trever Maur has gained unique knowledge in this regard and helped Aaron Stumpf in the production of this wakeboard. “Dipstick” is a masterpiece without a doubt. Regardless of the uncommon flat base profile, this product maintains carving on wakes really well. The stronger tip and tail handle massive impacts without risk of wood fatigue.

Hyperlite 2021 Franchise Wakeboard
This earlier model is quite different from “Dipstick.” The hard work of shaping by Greg Nelson gives us a fast but stable wakeboard. The Bio-3 Core, monocoque construction, and minimum swing weight profile improve energy handling. With special fins like 8″ Poly A-Wing (4), the light carving and stable movements are ensured. The stripes with high-contrast colors and company logo complete this board’s sporty and daring identity.
