If you had the choice between double up blindside to sell at a board shop what would you go with? and why?

DU. From what I understand Blindside is going to be taken to Costco and some of the very mainstream retailers. Pretty tough to compete with those guys. <BR>Plus DU has a stronger image from what I've seen. <BR> <BR>I may be way off though, ask someone who runs a shop. I worked at one a few years ago.

hey bro, run double up for sure. Great image and great team. not that blindside doesnt, but double up sells for sure.

why would you need to choose one from the other?they are both made by Triton sports. I think triton also owns wet tech.

triton doesn't own any of them anymore. motion watersports owns them, along with the rest of wakeboarding. (o'brien, liquid force, cwb, and, from what i understand, hype as well) <BR> <BR>o'brien will be joined by doubleup and blindside. <BR> <BR>hardline will be making handles and mainlines for liquid force by 2006. <BR> <BR>wet tech will be phasing their wet/drysuits and vests out, but will continue to make tubes.

....and a partridge in a pear tree

i thought cwb was one of the only lone standing companies left?

Nope, Archer owns a majority of them too.

SL / Nevin And Gator are the only ones left archer has not bought yet!
