I was wondering if people think that malibu or nautique will offer pickle fork bows or if cwb will start offering closed toe boots. Kind of a wide spectrum question. Just thought other watersport equipment mfg's would be forced to follow the current market trends.

I think its very much a "Bandwagon" mentality. Only once somethings proven to increase sales or more specifically PROFIT will other companies follow. Towers even took a few years to catch on- Performance is secondary. Companies that are innovative deserve lots of credit......
