Wake Poll Questions

tclagggym 07-28-2006, 9:13 PM

I just read the new wake poll question and thought to myself, what a waste of time. Why don't we ask questions that offer some type of benefit to us. For example, maybe some questions on boat driving laws, boating etiquette, history of wakeboarding etc.

Tim, I apologize for so rudely thinking only of myself and wasting your time like that. I don't know what I was thinking. Oh wait, yes I do. I remember last weekend when I was burning my feet off on my vinyl because the air temp was some kind of ridiculous triple digit number. I remember thinking that the next time I get a boat I'm probably going to go with a lighter color interior in order to reduce the amount of pain on my feet and extra towels I have to lay out on the boat. Then I wondered whether it was just me or if maybe other people also have this problem.

Again, sorry about wasting your time. By the way, if you'd like to come up with about 250 questions per year for our poll, feel free to submit them to dailypoll@wakeworld.com.

I don't mind the polls, but I've had it with the waketoons!

waketoons rock. They need to come out more frequently. Didn't they used to come out like once a week?

You must be a pretty busy man is you can't spare about 5 seconds at the most to read a question. Also if u can't stand reading it, don't. And remember..."If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."

(Personally Dave I love the polls)

On second thought, I'm going to give you a full refund!

well dave it looks like you spent a lot of time thinking of today's poll

maybe my computer is just screwed up

edit: isn't the whole point of a poll to give opinions on what the reader thinks? It wouldn't be much of a poll let alone a question if it gave a sentence about boat etiquette or the history of wakeboarding

oh I think there is an idea here for the next article: a wakeboard exam or boat driving exam, where in the end you can view the mass results.

I took it down since it was bothering Tim. :-)

Actually, I don't know what happened there. It's working now.

Looks like the results are most people seem to find the seats get to hot in the summer. I just picked up some seat covers from primalmp.com that work great for hot seats
