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.
Plus DU has a stronger image from what I've seen.

I may be way off though, ask someone who runs a shop. I worked at one a few years ago.

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)

o'brien will be joined by doubleup and blindside.

hardline will be making handles and mainlines for liquid force by 2006.

wet tech will be phasing their wet/drysuits and vests out, but will continue to make tubes.

Nope, Archer owns a majority of them too.
