Keith Lyman
 
Kinda bummed to see that slingshot dropped him. I love his 2014 shape. Great for boat and cable

same here, agreed 100%. Although, it really is more-or-less the same shape as the 13' Hooke

He's off doing his military thing for now. Hopefully we'll see him back full time wakeboarding in the future.

I don't think it was ever meant to be long term anyway, I was bummed at first, too. Keith is my favorite rider and I ride his original slingshot shape. But you gotta remember he's not a pro wakeboarder and a soldier, he's a soldier. He said he was done, the fact that he rides cable proves it. Not to dog cable but he used to talk a lot of smack on cable riding. If he came back to the scene full time I'm sure he and slingshot would pick up where they left off.

It was my understanding that the last few years of him with Slingshot were more about giving back to the wounded warrior program than actually a Sponsorship as most people think of it. Oakley still has him.

Any link to those comments? I'd be interested to watch / read those articles.
