I like Wakeside alot, free ground shipping and no tax saves some $$, stuff will be on sale too. You may want to try some vests on, sizing and fit is wierd.

Grizzly sports is the only store for me. I actually like to go in person, but started buying online from them when I was living down in So Cal. Here is a package they hooked us up with for a friend of mine, I guarantee that no other online shop can beat them price. Trust me the price is the small part, the service is what makes them my favorate online shop. They are the kind of place that will take care of you when you have a problem and quickly. This is huge as more and more people seem to be having issues with defective boards and bindings I certainly hope their are more companies out there like this. Good thread

For online shops Boardersparadise.com and Grizzly are very good, I have always been taken care of there. I also had a good experience at activewake.com. (Message edited by Pierce Bronkite on September 13, 2006)

I normally try to buy from my local shop. There are a number of excellent ones nearby and they are where I go first. Occasionally, though, they may not have what I'm looking for. I've ordered a few times from wakeside.com and have been blown away by their service. Ordered once on Tuesday, product arrived Wednesday. Another time, ordered on Wednesday, product arrived Friday.

Grizzly-Sports.com. Not only will they give you a great deal, but they stand behind all of their merchandise even in the rare cases where the manufacturer won't. Additionally, You'll be dealing with actual people when you call in or use the website. Grizzly is still a relatively small company that want's your business.....check them out if you get a chance. Thanks-

Grizzly sports rocks. I talked with a a guy about getting into some new shanes. He recomended size. Not only did he give me price that was 100 (i paid 200 NIB) but when I thought that the size was wrong he told me to try them out (riding) and if after a week they still seam small I can send them back and he will switch them out for the next size no charge. The WANT your business and they now have mine. They should have yours becuase they are a company founded on the right princeples of sales and business.

I'm not a big fan of the "support your local boardshop" bandwagon simply because the shop is local. If the shop is great, then definitely support them. If the shop sucks, then they don't deserve your support and you should find another one or shop online.

Plus, many of the local boardshops are actually the ones who are doing the websites...for example, buywake.com. Great local shop for the guys in GA, and a great online store for the rest of us. Wakeside is an example of no shop at all, but does a good job with their site. Most of the sponsors on the banners above that are online stores are also local shops.

I also recommend http://www.grizzly-sports.com They have given me great deals in the past. I did support my local boardshop until they closed and moved an hour away. They provided phenomenal prices as well but when they moved, I started dealing with Grizzly Sports.
