Was just watching the local news here in San Diego. There on the screen was Dave and his truck spilling over with the generousness of this community. The Marines were unloading 462 toys for tots from the Wakeworldmobile. Just wanted to give you all a shoutout.

Sweeeeeet! If I had a brain, I would have recorded it. :-(

Here are some pics from our afternoon of toy buying and delivery. We bought $5,000 worth of toys and wrote Toys For Tots a check for almost $8,000!! It's weird having all these Marines repeatedly thanking ME?? I can't tell you how many times I said, "Oh no, thank YOU!"

Well done Dave. I think a haircut and a shave might of been in order though. ;)

Very, very cool Dave. Missed it on the news, but like the others have said, thanks for your generosity during the holiday season. Great pics by the way!

I just got a haircut. She took two inches off!

Yes, it was a record-breaking year in a big way. We did more than double what we did last year!!

TOYrific!!!!

Don't thank me. Thank the generous sponsors that donated everything and give them your business when you can!! Also, give yourselves a pat on the back for bidding up these items like crazy! It couldn't have happened without you!! Thanks everyone!

We're working on a video of the entire toy-buying/donation experience, but here is a quick clip of the NBC interview that my daughter shot. It's at the bottom of the page...

+1 on the comment about making a positive example of the industry.

Very impressed with how much effort you put into this Dave. It's awesome to see the results of what you, the sponsors and wakeworlders have done this holiday season for kids.

Just got another item I won in the auction, the CWB Onset wakeskate. Stoked to have won it. I was able to help with this cause all while getting some awesome items. That's a win win situation, but something tells me we all can do more for the cause next year!

Kudos to you Dave, you help bring an awesome Karma to the industry!

A wonderful win win win situation and glad this generous effort got some well deserved media attention. The Shred Ready helmet that I bid on was at my door yesterday and they were a great company to work with. Thanks!
