WAKESHOP VERDICT

Our take on this board.

The Freepress is the Hyperlite we'd choose when rails, presses and creative feature riding matter more than simply charging around the cable as fast as possible. Its long, flexible platform gives you loads of freedom to exaggerate presses and move the board underneath you, while the lively wood construction provides enough rebound to stop it feeling dull. The subtle 3-stage rocker adds useful lift and gives the board a slightly different personality from smoother continuous-rocker park shapes. For intermediate and advanced riders who spend their sessions looking for new ways to hit features, the Freepress is an outstanding choice.

✓

BEST FOR

Intermediate and advanced cable riders who prioritise rails, deep presses, technical feature riding, creativity and a flexible board feel.

NOT IDEAL FOR

Boat riders, complete beginners wanting maximum stability or cable riders whose main priority is outright speed, aggressive edge hold and high-level air tricks.

WHY WE STOCK IT

Why it earns a place at WakeShop.

We stock the Freepress because it gives technical park riders a genuinely feature-focused option within the Hyperlite range. Its combination of flex, rebound and a long stable platform makes it particularly rewarding on rails and presses while retaining enough response to enjoy kickers and full park laps. It's a board with a clear purpose rather than simply another all-round cable shape.
