WSBD Update!


It has been a while since my last update, and a lot has been going on lately!


First of all, we are very close to moving into our new facility. In fact, we are about 3 weeks away! So it won’t be long now! Landscaping is being finished, and the painters are doing all of the touching and cleaning up that is needed. The place is really coming together, and we really look forward to having you guys all stop by and see it when we are settled in!

The WWA Wakeboard World Championships were in OKC a couple of weekends ago. Waterski Boats Dallas was the host dealer and Supra pulled the event. Fuel TV shot the entire thing along with all of the major wakeboarding publications. Over the next couple of months, you will begin to see a lot of the follow up about Worlds in various places, including daily on Fuel TV. You can read all about it here… http://www.wakeworld.com/getarticle.asp?articleid=1856

The weekend after Worlds was Surf Expo on Orlando. Surf Expo is a huge trade show for all of the dealers and industry people involved in Wake, Surf and the similar mainstream sports. Each year at Expo, Wakeboarding Magazine hosts the Wake Awards. The Wake Awards recognized "The Best In Wake" in 15 different categories including video, photography and top riding including the "Move of the Year" awards in both wakeboarding and wakeskating. Presented by Oakley, the "Move of the Year" is a top honor in the sport, so the winner in each category won some pocket cash as well as a custom-engraved Oakley Diamond Minute Machine watch. Danny Harf took home this year's wakeboard "Move of the Year" with the first ever switch toeside 1260, and Stu Shinn held down the wakeskate side with a wake-to-wake backside bigger spin. The results of the other categories can be found here. http://www.wakeboardingmag.com/article/Events/WakeBoarding-Magazines-Fifth-Annual-Wake-Awards-Goes-Off-At-Surf-Expo

There will be more info to come regarding what all will be going on once we get moved to the new facility. Winterization time is coming unfortunately, but with our new dealership, we will be able to get you in and out much faster than years past!

The new pro shop is going to be incredible! We have recently picked up Jet Pilot and Fox Riders Co to add to our growing collection! This means that not only will we be carrying the complete lines from Ronix, Radar, Hyperlite, HO and Monster Tower, but we will also be stocking Jet Pilot Vests and Apparel and Fox Apparel! And if you thought 2008 was a great year for wakeboard gear, then you won’t believe your eyes for 2009!I will send out another update soon! Thanks!
