Who's next for Team Tige?
Tige posted this on their Facebook page:
It may be Labor Day weekend but we're hard at work!! Tell us your guess for who is next to join TeamTige. If you get it right, we'll send you free Tige gear https://www.facebook.com/tigeboats Guys got any ideas? Seems like they are loading up their team for '14! I voted for Randall Harris but I doubt that would happen. |
Bob Soven or Josh Twelker. They need a another young gun.
|
Gordon Harrison would be my guess over those too. I don't see Bob leaving Nautique.
|
Twelker has an x-star..soven isn't leaving nautique. I'm gonna say Daniel Powers.
|
Or Austin Hair.
|
If this was posted a month ago who would have guessed Rathy or Dean, LOL. Can't wait to see their full team lineup and where Tige will grow from here.
|
Johnny Manziel.
|
Jeff Langley.
|
There is no reason for Bob to leave Nautique with the G23.
|
The motivation is usually money....not the boat!!!!

Not saying they could. Not probably about who can outbid who. But who is willing to throw the cash out. I could care less who rides for what boat. Has 0 to do with my boat shopping. I couldn't even tell you what rider rides for what boat.
What I'm saying is to most pro athletes and I am sure wakeboarders are no exception, Its about money not the team they are on. There are a few loyal left but for the most part when contracts are up its the highest bidder. Obviously Tige thru out a better offer to Rathy and Dean or they would have stayed where they were at. All I am saying is people go where the money is at and right now it seems like Tige is writing checks. I personally wish they wouldn't because at the end of the day selling boats pays those guys salary. If they are paying more to pro's then boat prices have to rise to cover that. Thats is bad to me as a consumer. So to Rehash....never said anything about who could outbid who. |
How much do they really pay them though?
|
Every contract is so different. Some get a salary and a boat. Some get a salary and a demo boat. Some just get a really pimped out boat they can sell off at the end of the year. Some get no money and a boat they can borrow. Some just get money to put stickers on their boards.....etc, etc. There are all sorts of contracts out there and many reasons why someone would choose to ride for another company.
Most pro wakeboarders can't afford a top end boat so there is huge motivation for them just to have one to use without having to pay for it. A few years ago when a lot of companies were tightening the belt cause of the economy it was interesting (and surprising) to see who was getting their pay reduced or even stopped. |
A lot.
Some boat companies have to pay athletes to use and endorse their product. Some don't. |

Thanks, Matt!

I don't think anyone guessed that one. He's a very talented rider though.
