Through the years, companies have come and gone. Some have stayed longer than others while others have just been forgotten. Some have left our industry and some have left all industries. What are some names that come to mind when you think of our fallen brothers...Let's take a moment to remember. <BR>Digit 3, Mantra, Spoon...(i can think of more, just leavin the door open.)

mutiny, blindside, double up, collective development, to name a few

Origin <BR>Drop Zero

"Iconn" <BR> <BR>heh, I've got one! <BR> <BR>my neighbor was working a job at this guys house and the guy had dozens of their boards laying around. he used to work for them he said. he gave him one and then he turned around and gave it to me. lol. went down to wileys and had them slap on some double ups and fins for my wife. it's actually not a bad little board. super light.

My first board was a WakeTech. The third time I rode it, the lamination peeled like a banana. I took it back and got a DU Nelson 138. The Nelson is hinging in my 5 yr old son's room. My hoe the times have changed in only 10 years....

Silver Moon Concepts!! <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/rofl.gif" border=0>

Just visit our "Other Wakeboards" page for quite a few: <a href="http://www.wakeworld.com/BoardGuide/Other.asp" target="_blank">http://www.wakeworld.com/BoardGuide/Other.asp</a>

LOL...That is supposed to be "how", but I guess that tells you where my mind is.....

Hey, no problem here. It's a natural progression that only benefits the sport.

Wego Kite Tube . . .

Serum Boards

BadAss - The used to sell Astrodeck, it was great stuff. <BR>Krown - They tried to come back, not sure what happend though. <BR>Toyota boats - bad timing, they came in with ski boats when the world had switched to wakeboarding. <BR>Cobalt inboard boats - This was the old Hydrodyne hull i think. <BR>Ten Foot Pole - I still see a few of the Ten Foot Towers on boats once in a while. <BR>Hippo automatic ballast systems <BR>T3 Towers - remember when Jim Jones? <BR>Neptune boards. <BR>FWT Fresh Water Traction - I still have a set of these. <BR>FM Free Motion - Last time i saw one it was in sporting goods superstore. <BR>Oshima Gun - Wake Clothing <BR>Lonestar wakeboard camp <BR>Wakecentral.com <BR>C&amp;C Creations board racks

Wow, I guess I haven't been around long enough.

I still remember riding the WakeTech Magic Air and working towards saving up enough money to buy the FullTilt Megaman. I saw the Megaman in a wakeboard magazine at the time and wanted it so badly. I never did get one. I ended up with an O'Brien instead. <BR> <BR>And don't forget Hyperlite. They were great until all their pros left. (Oops, I need to wait a few years before posting that one. ) <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/wink.gif" border=0>

Do you guys remember 3 thirteen clothing from a few years ago? I remember them doing a wakeskate shoe too. Just thinking. <BR> <BR>Oh and Collective Development is supposed to be coming back as a bag company next year. We will see.

wakeboarding pants. Now those were cool.

How about Board Wild Video Productions? Maybe they're the same as Bump Films.

Nvert <BR> <BR>Great concepts, never really got their act together.

Stinger, the Freak was a sweet ride! <BR> <BR>jjakober

surflite <BR>mutiny

Jeesh I didn't know both Free Motion and blindside were out of business I have an FM board and Blindside bindings.

Maybe Rainbow is still doing okay.....but product wise, Bones have to be somewhat obsolete.

i cant believe all you delta people forgot funded tech boards.. i think they are gone all the riders went to krown

Bones, hahah forgot agout those! I remember I rode with a dude way back in the day and swore that those helped his riding.

I still have a couple of those old rainbow "surf dog" fins lying around. the neptune impala was a sweet board.

What ever happened to the Lock nuts. You know the twisty fold down type?

Thought about lok nutz, but wasn't sure they were gone -- thought they may be supplying LF since their bindings come with the same dealio.

Weren't they just called Lokz?

That's probably right.

What about the Original <b>"WakeList"</b> it was before wakeworld.com and wakeboarder.com. Nothing but an E-Mail list dedicated to wakeboarding, it was sweet and the conversations seemed a little more adult then most of what goes on now-a-days. <BR> <BR>jjakober

I can't believe somebody else said Oshima Gun, now that's obscure! <BR>How about Insane wakeboards, the team whose goal was to sign the hottest female riders. <BR> <BR>Oh yeah and how about (FWT) Fresh Water Traction? I still have some of those things, right next to my Core wakeboard. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by dococ on August 17, 2006)

JJ im sure you know that the wakelistr ,BTW i was on that,was run and created by Pat M the same guy who now runs wakeboarder.com so its not dead its just evolved <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0> <BR> <BR>IMO it was the one place that single handedly brought together the first events and groups of wakeboarders that led us to becoming communities..

Is Boss still producing towers? I know a few of those guys left Boss and started Fusion Towers. <BR> <BR>Fowler, Love the profile pic! Still rippin I assume. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by solo on August 17, 2006)

They are called Hydrocide now.

BROS! Because some of you listed off this stuff... <BR> <BR>messer's the man, and he still judges wakeskate comps... <BR> <BR>Epic shoes are obscure...my favorite companies I'm interested in one way or another would include NBN, thruster, wake tech, FM, K2, Sano, rusty wakeboards, solbound, wake ski, surf alley, fresh water traction, blah blah blah...EDIT: ok, we'll add amuzement technologies, in honor of scott jobe and his entrepreneueral spirit. <BR> <BR>but some oldie moldies would be like olson, those stewart barton boards, and lance brugg had some company that I wanted a board from (not back then, now), but I can't remember the name anymore. <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/358303.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/358304.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR> <BR>(Message edited by electricsnow on August 17, 2006)

What about the Hyperlite snowboard?

I still have 2 Wake Tech Flight 69 boards that we use as guest boards on my boat. 1 is a 143 guys board and the other 134 chicks board. Talk about dinosaur. I remember buying the 143 with the Gravity Pro bindings which were top of the line at the time. Now I can just laugh about them.

I have a pair of Rusty Bindings that we still use. We use them as girl bindings because they're great no frills bindings. Just used them on Tuesday as a matter of fact!

OK so when do we start the wakeboard museum. Lets make some money of this crap. LOL

Didnt Tommy from Tommy's surf in FL already start doing that? I remember at once point he was asking for old memorabilia items.

Wake TV by Jocko?

I second the wake tv.... Wasn't there a Jocko sighting not too long ago?

I know its been said. <BR>Joyride <BR>Serum boards <BR>I know J-Rod will relate Ensane Wakeboarding school! Bummer Peace Ian, Mat, ect <BR>G.

Im too new to know about old wakeboard brands... but neptune isnt gone from the planet though, they're now producing in argentina, a friend of mine rides for them.

i just went over the list real fast but didnt see Subrosa bindings they were the originators of the closed toe boot <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0>

RIP Ensane Wakeboard School! Good call. <BR> <BR>Good memories of riding and kickin after hours with Dan Klopp and Chris Mills....and coming home beat up!

-Sage wakeboards <BR>-Kirk Wakeboards (skurfer days)

Maybe this is too far in the past, but does anyone remember the name of that little wooden slalom ski that was about 2 feet long? BTW, this is a quiz. Someone resently paid $162.50 and old one of these on eBay. <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/358408.jpg" alt="Upload">

^Isn't that a slalom trickski? Cypress Shores something of other.

the good ol Rusty swinger wakeboard

kirk hawaii--wasn't that one lance brugg's company? I thought he had something to do with it...

Sound Wakeboards <BR>Still got the hat.

Electricsnow, <BR> Lance us to ride Kirk boards back in the ol' days. He helped with R&amp;D and rode the boards until about 1996.
