Hello fellow WW members, <BR>I used to post on this site a few years ago and I have known Dave Williams for a few years. I was Turk Kildare back in the day. I posted the first X-80 pics, etc. Anyway, I have spent the last 5 years adding contribution to another wakeboarding site and giving RARE industry views. So, now I will be moderating WW some and adding industry tips and insight where I can. I am extremely well connected in the boating industry and I have personal connections all over the United States in the industry. I currently work for the largest boat company in the world in design. Also, I live in East Tennessee, which is pretty much the hub of the sport boating industry and its suppliers. Please feel free to contact me in regards to questions or if you need assistance with an issue you think I can help. I will do my best to assist you or to point you in the right direction. <BR> <BR>I am not trying to gloat, I just wanted to take the time to introduce myself. Some of you know me and some of you don't. <BR> <BR>I look forward to contributing to the site. <BR> <BR>Regards, <BR>SM <BR> <BR>(Message edited by shawn_madison on April 20, 2007)
