San Diego, Ca – The world’s best riders will descend on the birthplace of modern wakeboarding to display the current state of modern rail shredding. For the third year, the Fred Hall Fishing, Tackle and Boat Show in Del Mar will host the Wakesports Unlimited Invitational Rail Jam on March 25-29, 2009.

Many of the sport’s brightest stars will be on hand to participate. Riders like two-time WakeBoarding Magazine Rail Master Award winner Shane Bonifay, 2005 Pro Tour Rookie of the Year Kevin Henshaw, 2008 Best Trick of the Year winner Chad Sharpe and boardsports legends Collin Harrington and Shawn Watson will be joined by other world-class riders. “The Wakesports Unlimited ‘Invitational Rail Jam’ has grown every year both in terms of rider participation and in the quality of the rails on site,” said Wakesports Unlimited owner Josh Cantor. “We’ve collaborated with the riders to make a course that’s both challenging to them and offers a great experience for the crowd on hand. Southern California has embraced this rail jam for the last three years and we expect this year’s Invitational Rail Jam to be the most spectacular production the San Diego area has ever seen. There will be multiple rail options, the level of risk will be higher than ever and the boys said they’re ready to shred. This is guaranteed to be the best show we’re ever done.”

The Wakesports Unlimited Invitational Rail Jam is the only scheduled event showcasing the sport’s top talent in 2009, so don’t miss this unique opportunity. The five day rail jam will feature three shows daily, giving all of Southern California’s wake enthusiasts the chance to come check out the world’s best riders pushing the sport.

Wakeboard Clearance

Daniel — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 17:14:51 +0000

I’ve been surfing every wakeboard website lately and there’s been some killer deals popping up all over the place. Now is definitely the time to start purchasing some new gear if you’re in need. The big website’s such as the-house.com, buywake.com, skipro.com, and evogear.com are having sales up to 60% off of everything 2008 from boards, to boots, to ropes and vests. Even our buddies at Seaforth and having deals that you can’t pass up on. I know the 2008 season is over (expect for us that live in SD) and everyone is looking forward to all the 2009 gear, but for the insane prices that are out there it’s hard to pass on these deals. All the big pro models available such as your Liquid Force Shane and Watson boards are up to $200 off at some places and the prices will continue to drop as the new season approaches us. So whether you are looking for Christmas presents for friends and family or your trying to score some last minute gear for yourself, check out these sites and pick up some gear before these deals are gone.

Malibu shows Christmas Spirit

With many families struggling financially this year, Malibu boats is doing all they can to show good tidings and cheer. This holiday season they are offering special incentives so that nearly everyone can have a Malibu Christmas like so many families have in years’ past.

In order to put people in the Christmas spirit, Malibu is sharing Christmas stories to inspire prospective boat buyers to take the plunge and allow their 2009 holiday season to last for years to come.

The Isner family, from Washington State, has already shared their greatest Christmas story with Malibu.
Joe Isner and his wife, Kim, fell in love with the 23 LSV-as did their two daughters, when they came upon it before Christmas last year. Though he wasn’t ready to buy the boat that day, Joe knew the 23 LSV’s sick wake would finally allow him to get the backroll he had been working on, which was so far unsuccessfully. Knowing what would make her husband’s Christmas better than he ever could have imagined, Kim made a call to Bake’s Marine sales manager, Matt Cour.

Kim and her daughters arranged for a friend to pick up the boat and then leave it in the Isners’ driveway Christmas morning. When he woke up and unwrapped presents that day, Joe had no idea his dream boat was sitting in the driveway outside. After the presents had all been opened the family led him outside where he found the best gift that wouldn’t fit under the tree.

Thanks to the 23 LSV Joe was able to land his backroll and the Isner family has made many memories on the water since their Christmas surprise.

Malibu wants everyone to have the type of Christmas that the Isners’ had. So they are offering a “Boat Rockin’ Christmas” this year. They will be giving up to $20,000 off MSRP as well as other special pricing and financing. Buyers will receive a Malibu merchandise shopping spree so there is sure to be something for everyone in the family. In order to make the surprise as big as the one Joe had on Christmas morning last year, Malibu is also offering a personalized delivery surprise. The event begins Christmas day and ends New Year’s Eve. Imagine a brand-new Malibu sitting in your driveway just waiting to pull you and your family to new heights!

Supra’s New 2009 Look

Daniel — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 17:32:14 +0000

Supra has just recently launched the 2009 Supra Website revealing the next generation of Supra Design boats. The revamped website offers users more of what they want and more importantly gives viewers easier options to find videos and photos of the 2009 Supra models. The site gives the ability to customize and price your desired boat with all the available colors and options that Supra has to offer.

The updated content throughout the website offers important information for existing customers, new customers, wakeboarders, and pretty much anyone interested in what Supra has to offer. The site offers bulletin boards, event calendar, gear, Protection Plans, Ride systems and much more. They’ve also added video wakeboarding lessons to their website so you can shop and learn some new tricks at the same time.

The 2009 product line has added some new tweaks, which are mostly minor, to accommodate the new models of the year. The launch of the 21V fills the void nicely between the 20V and 22V. The new 21’4” long and 99” wide boat packs a ton of interior space for friends and family. The upgrades to all the 2009 line of boats include:

Lower dash for more visibility which includes Zero Off compatible
Titan Spinner board racks
New Worlds Package
New Gravity Games Package
New ballast pumps with automatic shutoffs
Electric adjustable multi-sport wakeplate

Finally, Supra’s last remaining direct drive model, the launch 20, has been dropped for the 2009 line, making Supra the first major manufacturer to transition completely to a wakeboard/multi-sport focus boat. Check it out at www.supraboats.com
