From Sun and Ski:How do you improve the winningest shape in wakeskate history? Easy, enlist the help Scott Bouchard. That's right for 2008 Butch and Grubb teamed up to shape everything Grubb was looking for. The new and improved Catalyst series starts with a blended 3-stage rocker line to generate more speed into the wake. Butch built a wider overall profile for increased surface area to give Grubby the extra wake-to-wake pop he wanted. To ensure the ride was not too loose, however, the pair designed dual base channels for tighter edge hold into the wake. Finished off with more pronounced concaves and a hybrid EVA / grip tape top, the Catalyst is built to win another generation of titles.

Yes | No Hyperlite Catalyst 2.0 Wakeskate 2008 â Hyperlites Catalyst 2.0 Wakeskate is a more traditional skate style concave kicktail blend. The magic weight of Hyperlites high-end skates is around 8 lbs, but it is where the weight is dispersed that makes the big difference. The Hyperlite Catalyst 2.0 Wakeskate is constructed with steel rods running the length of the board which vastly improves the rotation on flip tricks. A softer radius near the edge prevents the board from getting hung up in the water when a deck is most prone during shuv it tricks and you get a smoother ride. Get yourself the Hyperlite Catalyst 2.0 Wakeskate and prepare for an epic 08 season.
