Hyperlite Kruzr w/Team X Binding 2026

The KRUZR isn’t just a wakeboard — it symbolizes hope, purpose, and community. 

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.

Hyperlite’s new KRUZR-GLS is a collaboration between R&D head Aaron Stumpf and Rusty Malinoski. Aaron shaped Rusty’s 1^st 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.

Innovation doesn't always mean reinventing the wheel. Sometimes, it’s about noticing what’s missing and filling the gap. Enter the KRUZR a board designed for the big guys, with purpose and passion behind it.

Rusty Malinoski, a legend in the sport known for his powerhouse riding, recognized a need. As a big guy himself, he believed there could be a more fitting, supportive board. He shared his vision with Aaron Stumpf, Hyperlite’s premier board shaper. Immediately inspired, Aaron combined Rusty’s insights with his expertise, crafting a design with more surface area, greater stability, and increased forgiveness all without sacrificing performance.

But behind Aaron’s shaping is a story of courage, loss, and legacy.

Shaun’s vision for the perfect plated binding has quickly become a team favorite, the Team X Binding built atop Hyperlite’s Fusion Plate System. If you’re a seasoned pro or just getting comfortable standing sideways, this is the perfect binding for you.

The Team X closed toe binding offers mid-range support for the rider looking for a little extra flex with solid heel hold thanks to its Internal Ankle Harness. This feature pulls the riders foot into the heel pocket as the binding is laced for reduced lift. Dual quick cinch lace zones and seamless liner construction produce a great fit with no pressure points. Grab a pair of Team X Wakeboard Binding.

Features

Kruzr Wakeboard

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.
