Hi,

I work as a sourcing agent in Brazil and over the last 6 months I have been sourcing wakeboards, wakeboard bindings, wakeskates, ropes and handles in asia for a company in Brazil. However the company decided not to import any products due to the crisis.

If you are interested please contact me for more information.

My email is cesar@openfield.com.br

Regards,
Cesar Beninatto

Cody, you ever herd of "funded technologies?". Word on thhe street is some of the equipment burt up but I'm thinking purchase and repairs of presses may be a lot cheaper.

But let's be honest at this day getting into the small industry of wakeboarding isn't a money maker.example. Look at how huge Gator lugert is. And how much trouble he's had keeping his company goin and getting main stream over the last 10 years.

If you could get a shape and have the $ to have it made by the same corporation that mfg hyperlite cwb lf u may have a chance.

Not discoraging you. Just a lil negitive info from the last couple years of ex-"sponsors" tryn to build a board.

Check out in Liberation Boards in Colorado. One of the best wakeboard designers in the business. He might be able to work something out with you.

Doesn't matter where Cesar lives, he has the contacts to make the boards overseas and they can ship it wherever you want. Finding a good source is half the battle, then you gotta sell it.
