Hyperlite Motive Jr Wakeboard Review
Learning to wakeboard is made easy with the junior sized Motive
The Hyperlite Motive Jr Wakeboard is designed specifically to introduce young riders to the sport of wakeboarding. At 119cm, it’s one of the smallest wakeboards available, suited to those younger kids who just can’t wait to get out on the water, and behind the boat. Teaching kids to wakeboard is easier when you have the right child-friendly gear, and we think this wakeboard is a great place to start.
The features of this board make learning easy and allow for a free flowing ride with a smooth lift off the wake. Not only will this wake board be ideal to get the kids started on, but it will allow them to progress and become confident with simple tricks. Hyperlite also manufacture this wakeboard in adult sizes, the Hyperlite Motive Wakeboard.

Performance and Stability For Beginners
The Hyperlite Motive Jr wakeboard is well known as an ideal board for beginners. The continuous rocker ensures you get a smooth, predictable pop off the wake every time and takes you across, further out into the flats, rather than giving you more height. It’s ideal for those who want to ride with lots of speed and it cuts through the water smoothly, great fun for carving.
The molded in fins provide added stability and the center fins provide for great tracking and easier turning which is ideal for beginners. And when your enthusiastic beginner wants to start attempting jumps, the molded landing feature helps to disperse the water giving them a smoother landing.
Durable Construction
The Hyperlite brand is known for its quality and innovative technology, and the Motive wakeboard is characterized by both. The monocoque construction integrates the top glass and bottom glass as one component. This increases the durability of the wakeboard sides, preventing damage from impact. Combine this with the layered glass and you have a wakeboard that will have the same pop, season after season, year after year.
When you’re learning to wakeboard, it helps to have a board that easily pops up out of the water. Hyperlite has perfected the Biolite 3 Core material to ensure the wakeboard is lightweight, and yet is significantly durable in its construction.
