Today was a sad day for me. I've compiled "EVERY" Wakeboarding Magazine since it started. I was in the process of moving and had moved this container of magazines for the past 14 years. Today I made a decision to throw them all away. The container must have weighed about 300 lbs and I'm beat up from all those years of riding. I haven't given up on the sport, but my back is feeling the years. I sat down for about 15 minutes to look at the two issues that I cherish the most, the one of Darin doing a raley and the next with Bill McCaffery. I know Wakeboarding Magazine recently did an article on individuals who collected their magazines from Day One. Today you can scratch my name off that list. To end this on a good note, I kept all my videos. Even the Skurfer Invitational on Kauai. <BR> <BR>Mahalo, <BR> <BR>Reid

I did the same thing 4 years ago just before I got married. Extremely hard thing to do. I still have my videos, but I only have about a dozen, all VHS, plus the Gear Trilogy that my buddies and I put together. That will never get tossed. <BR> <BR>My wakeboarding resource is right here - Wakeworld. But, I'm a seasonal Wakeworld visitor - usually around February to May (horrible spring fever right now).

Reid, <BR> That sucks, but can understand how you felt when moving. The same thought went through my mind when I moved into our new house in October. I've collected since 1995 and my stash is heavy. <BR> <BR> You better be ready to ride more when I come home in a couple of weeks.
