just got back from the boat show. it was fun, the best part was meeting emily copeland durham. she is sooo nice and chill, great wakeboarder and girl. also met scott byerly, he's cool too. there are a bunch of exhibits and people to meet. check it out. emily also said that parks might be there next weekend.

Joe don't forget the picture of you trying on the CWB boots! Thats gotta be the hottest image ever etched into a memory card.

Boat show was fun, a little slow but a good show all the same. Personal highlight: stale nachos, fantastic!

We were out at the Phoenix show, rail jam. Good times, Tino, Watson, Ruck, Murray,Jack Blodgett,Aaron Reed, (why do I feel like I am missing somebody?) a Pat Panakos production so it was a credible rail. Gonna be in LA this weekend.

My GF took me to the LA boat show on Valentines day... she's rad. Took a good look at all the wakeboat players and it seems everyone is stepping up their game. I think its getting a lot more competitive which is real good for us consumers, making a boat choice more difficult every year... unless you have 90K to throw down, then the choice (x-star) is an easy one! imo.

Disappointed to see that they didnt let you get in the only epic they had there... not a good way to sell a new boat IMO

I'm going today. Anyone else making it out to the last day?
