Hyperlite’s new KRUZR-GLS is a collaboration between R&D head Aaron Stumpf and Rusty Malinoski. Aaron shaped Rusty’s 1st first ever pro model, the Marek and every board since. This board is a departure from the aggressive style ride Rusty is known for, this new shape is a nimble cruiser. The KRUZR-GLS has more surface area than any other board but has been shaped to maintain a lively feel with a minimum thickness profile. More comfy than previous shapes, Rusty feels all ride styles and ability levels will enjoy this new shape which will surely suit riders in the 200+lbs range. Aaron brought new features like the Boneline Grab Rail and Cupped Tail Rail design allowing the wider board to sit deep in the water for a solid edge hold on approach. The Molded Landing Feature is included while the overall base design is simpler, delivering that cruisy flowy feel between tricks and carving the wake. Rusty still enjoys smashing dubs and going big, the KRUZR-GLS offers more pop and landing stability for the biggest of airs.

The KRUZR-GLS is a name that pays homage to Grayson Lawrence Stumpf, Aaron’s son who lost his battle with cancer at the age of 12. Rusty and Aaron have always been tight, brought closer together because of Gray. Hyperlite and Rusty will be donating proceeds from the sale of the KRUZR-GLS to the Live Gray’s Way Research & Awareness Fund. Never has a Rusty & Aaron shape meant as much as the KRUZR-GLS.
