Wake surfing magazine is not cool; in fact I think it sucks. This opinion has nothing to do with how much fun I think it is or what I think of the people who are into it. Wake surfing contests and a wake surfing magazine are the things that will erode everything people have done to promote the legitimate vision of wakeboarding and wakeskating and the development over the last 10 years. The surf skate, & snow industries are just getting interested in wakeboarding and wakeskating and now we (wakeboarders) are saying this is the next cool thing. For someone who has grown up in board sports wake surfing is definitely not the next cool thing. Especially when you compare it to tow-in surfing. Hmmm,,, I wonder which one is going to get more respect. Centurion and Level X are pushing wake surfing out of the nest before it even has wings in an effort to try to own something. All I see is there trying to save own a$$e$, and in doing so are making the whole sport/industry/us look needy and stupid.
