Some random thoughts, may make for a good thread..or not.. So..I've been on boats and around watersports all my life have never seen more fads, styles, gadgets etc. in any other watersport than wakeboarding. I buy into very few things just because they're trendy or stylish at the time. Now granted, I try not to look like a total tool, but I have to be convinced of the purpose of a new gadget, fad etc, before I buy it/do it. For example, up until 3 or so years ago, I still wore gloves when using the old rubber tractor grip handles because it just killed my hands... and shredded hands = less riding time....in my book, stupid to go without gloves simply for style. Then I discovered the foam grip handle, tossed the gloves and never looked back...converted. So what gadgets, trends, fads etc have you been converted on...or....would never be caught dead doing/owning? Tower lights, board pants (haha), rash guards, grabs, etc.
