The Eden 2. 0 is the sister equivalent of the iconic Hyperlite State 2. 0 wakeboard. However, donÕt think for a second that Hyperlite just shrinked it, pinked it, and called it a womenÕs wakeboard. Down to the tiniest details, the Hyperlite Eden 2.

Subtle Toe-Side Footbed Risers were also added to help a rider create more leverage when pressure is applied. The longer, more traditional heel-side edge compliments this asymmetrical design by allowing the natural body position of a rider to generate stability and speed into the wake without a loss of pop due to reduced surface area.

One of Ronixs up and coming athletes, Mary Morgan, got the phone call that she could be a part of the development of a new high-end board. First thing she did was start surveying on social media. What boat speed do you ride at, what rope length, what rockerline do you prefer, and what aspects are missing in a womens board? The results were unreal.

Combing the speed of the RXT, the kick of the One, and added a construction living up to the name Air Core with the least amount of swing weight, and more holeshot response out of a turn, Ronix developed a shape with bottom channels that worked for riders new to the sport but allows advanced level riders like Mary to land 720s on a regular basis and even win the coveted Masters Tournament.
