HYPER 2027
Hawaii is one of the most iconic wave sailing destinations in the world. Powerful reef breaks, long walls, and critical sections reward commitment, precision, and speed. In these conditions, every turn matters and every piece of equipment is pushed to its limit.
For Ryu Noguchi, the HYPER has become the ultimate tool when the goal is pure wave performance. Its compact outline, quad-fin setup, and razor-sharp rails deliver exceptional grip, speed, and responsiveness, allowing him to attack critical sections with confidence and connect turns with precision.
Whether drawing deep bottom turns at Ho‘okipa, accelerating down the line, or launching into aerial manoeuvres, the HYPER delivers the direct, surf-inspired feel that modern wave sailors demand. Fast to plane, incredibly precise, and built to perform in powerful waves, it allows riders to push their limits while staying fully connected to the wave.
*”In Hawaii, you need a board that reacts instantly and lets you focus completely on the wave. The HYPER feels fast, precise, and incredibly alive under your feet. It accelerates quickly, carries speed through turns, and allows me to surf exactly the way I want. When the waves get good, this is the board I want under my feet.”*
— Ryu Noguchi
Refined with input from Youth World Champion Ryu Noguchi, Flo Jung, and the Starboard wave team, the HYPER has been tested in some of the world’s best wave sailing locations. Built for riders chasing pure down-the-line performance, it delivers the speed, grip, and radical turning ability needed to perform at the highest level.

REVISED FIN & INSERT PLACEMENT
On HYPER 83 & 88, all fin boxes move 4 cm back, while all inserts shift 3 cm back ; the new boards are 3.5 cm shorter yet 2 cm wider at 30 cm from the tail—delivering a more aggressive, precise ride.
SHARPER RAILS
Rails from 45 cm to tail are significantly sharper, enhancing early planing, acceleration, and top-end speed.
PROVEN EXTREME QUAD-FIN
HYPER 78, 93, & 103 continue to offer radical performance, while the new updates elevate 83 & 88 to a new level of precision in wave riding.

TIME TO LIVE ON THE EDGE
The all-extreme HYPER; a pure quad-fin, power wave weapon. Designed by Remi Vila and tested from our Dream Team riders. The ultimate down the line weapon.
THE HYPER IN DETAIL
Featuring an innovative double-in-mono concave mid section and an aggressive rockerline, the HYPER looks for more sail pressure to get going, but keeps you connected to turn on a dime, while remaining secure on critical moves.
Suitable for side-onshore conditions with smaller waves if you are an advanced sailor and like to surf powered up.
Ideally the HYPER is tailored to anyone looking for the most secure yet radical rides in steep, powerful waves in side to side-offshore wind.

HYPER 2023
Versatility is great, but some days it matters less and you really want to live on the edge. You need that little bit extra. Less compromise, more extreme. Time to go Hyper. With pure performance sizes ranging from 78 to 93 liters, the new Hyper is all out radical. Built on a narrow outline and tail platform, sharp and thin rails towards the rear combine with a pronounced concave tail to perfectly match the powerful quad-fin setup, resulting in lightning fast reactions and great adaptability to fast and powerful breaking waves, whilst ensuring infinite drive, confident grip and control in high speed bottom turns.
