Dennis your crazy,I cant believe your in shorts ,your the man!!!

you people are all awesome!!! lake zurich? incredible!! <BR> <BR>dennis that look is totaly you!! its only cold in the water anyway aint it? <BR> <BR>lake sonoma? guys rocking it!! <BR> <BR>had to actually work all weekend missed the cold water .... hit the flowrider from 7 to 9 tonight <BR> <BR>cant wait to surf again like all you people!!

James, <BR>Got any more pictures of Josh's board? Looks sweet!

We have to take the boat out till mid march now. I miss wakesurfing already and look forward to continue in march. The contest was a blast we're going to have it on again next december.

This just makes me sick! I had to put the boat away yesterday, it wont be back until April 1st. guess im gonna have to head for the hills and surf on frozen water. Soooo wish I lived somewhere warm all year round.

yeah duffy thats his model with liquid force.

DJ, <BR> <BR><i>yeah duffy thats his model with liquid force.</i> <BR> <BR>Am I understanding you correctly, Josh Mulcoy will have a Liguid Force Signature model? A Rawson shaped board as H20Dog mentioned earlier?

yeap ,mulcoy has his own model for liquid force.for wakesurfing ,still surfs for stretch.

board works really good for josh.

<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87668/750715.jpg" alt="Upload">

That's interesting. Liquid Force has serious distribution channels, money and marketing savvy to promote their product. That'll be the only legit board from the wakeboard manufacturers.

From the picture they look like future fins?

yeah jeff the board looks sick and I think there cheap to buy.Duffy im pretty sure there fcs.

It was only a matter of time....

Yeah - Josh has some name recognition in the surfing community, not sure how that will translate to boating folks, but throw enough money at it and anything's possible. <BR> <BR>The board in the picture has a center stringer, proto for the mass produced board, perhaps. If it winds up being "low cost" it could be a CNC'ed PUPE like the custom, which would be a good board from one of the big manufacturers. If they toss in FCS fin plugs too, that will really be a huge step up in board quality. <BR> <BR>I'm looking forward to seeing what they choose to bring to the table on this product and if it has any impact on the rest of the manufacturers.

josh also wakesurfs for centurion,josh is one of those guys you put on any kind of board and he kills it,his a pro kiteboarder to,out of all the guys ive wakesurfed with he has the fastest and best style ive seen.

I think the more companies that step up will make the sport grow.

Verrry Interesting!!! <BR>I think that people prefer that traditional fragile touch and look of real surfboards with stringer and with combination of great pictures and videos of Josh progressive riding and airing they will get quite different view on wakesurfing and thats great.
