Darin Shapiro is reknown as the first rider landing an Air Railey – but what is interesting is that the Air Railey wakeboard trick was actually named in honor of one of his coaches in Team Hyperlite. Actually, Darin was riding for Herb O’Brien who actually founded Hyperlite. The reknown “Hyperlite Pro” Wakeboard is widely deemed responsible for the tremendous growth of the sport. Due to his talented and proficient displays of first-rate riding and therefore high profile and influence on the sport, Darin is widely deemed as being responsible for promoting the Hyperlite Pro Wakeboard.
Today, Hyperlite team riders influence greatly the progressive design of Hyperlite boards. Pro Wakeboarders visit Hyperlite home office in Redmond, Washington and spend a week or two doing research, development, and graphic design. Hyperlite have on their team three CAD designers who operate two expensive C&C machines to get the right wakeboards shape as each shape can go through 20 prototypes. The commitment to improving cutting-edge innovation at Hyperlite has seen the company develop amazing products each year backed substantially by a lifetime warranty.
A showcase of 23 proficient 2007/8 Hyperlite wakeboard designs with various rocker types from 130 cms – 144cms lengths suitable for every all ability level including Beginner, Immediate, Advanced to Expert for child’s, men and women’s are presented at the popular Hyperlite-featured ‘Evogear’ website: www.evogear.com
Hyperlite wakeboard prices range at between $125 to $499.

And of course, spending time with his girlfriend. Darin changed board companies after seven years and is now under contract to ride for O’Brien. Darin Shapiro has not competed in the pro tour since the 2004 season. He currently runs the Ride the Spot wakeboarding camp.

It has been said that Darin Shapiro was winning Pro Tour titles and World Championships before most of today’s contemporaries even worked out what a wakeboard did.
If we draw your attention to a wakeboarding competition in Russia: the “Shapiro Wake Cup” you just may guess the force of influence Darin has on the sport!
Darin began to compete in 1991 at age 17, when only one professional wakeboarding tour existed. Says Darin of his success: “I’m proud that I was able to stay on top for so long in a sport that has been constantly changing – with new styles, tricks and equipment — in the beginning I was one of the only guys really into the sport; it was the perfect crossover that blended my abilities on a trick water ski as well as a surfboard.”
Today all over the world wakeboarding is an action water sport that is family-friendly and growing increasingly in popularity. There are professional wakeboard tours and competitions all over the world. Major U.S. events include the Masters Water Ski & Wakeboard Tournament, the World Championships, the Pro Wakeboard Tour and the X Games. Darin has won every single one of these tournaments a number of times.

There’s nothing more exciting about learning how to wakeboard – mastering wakeboarding tips and techniques through practice sessions and really getting them down – feeling the adrenaline rush that comes from doing it super-well and hearing a enthusiastic spectator reaction. You know what I mean: the wakeboarding trick and rider’s technique looks great, feels good. It’s like there’s this moment when the world is your oyster. Who doesn’t like to be admired? Hearing comments like “how on earth did they do that?” or “That really looks super-cool out there!”
I’ve seen a stack of clips and footage now on how to wakeboard “with promise,” and yes they may have showcased some tasty tricks by ‘Backyard Bob’ and ‘Ned The Novice’ but really missed the mark in delivering effective “how to” wakeboard training – training that actually has the enthusiast wakeboarder at heart in bringing him/her forward with strong “how to” commentary.
