Looks like New Schnitzel is out of the game. JStar's website address redirects back to Jobe now, and it looks like the JStar branding might be phasing out. Fewer and fewer choices in wakeboarding now...

If that's true, that's sad. Never want to see companies dropping out.

This might be more surprising than the Company news. It appeared if NS had a solid, Euro-centered and cable-oriented customer base, and a full line of gear. At least, didn't NS have helmets too?

they did, and all kinds of other gear. I did notice that issues getting out what looked to be a sick binding lineup last year...sad that some of their designs won't see the light of day.

From what I have heard, J-star will just be re-branding back to Jobe Wakeboards! This I think had something to do with the fact the J-star could not make any clothing due to trandmarks or something.
