Hi Bill:
Sorry for the delayed response. I don't monitor this message board often enough!
Please see some information below regarding water sports. If you have any further questions, please feel to reach out to me directly.
1. Info from our product team:
The material is highly durable in water sports and worn by many triathletes and other athletes who participate in water. The material of gastex is comparable to the material of arena swimwear (apparently a well know swimwear company). Also with water sports, the product doesn't have to be worn with the Silicon tape side in; it can be worn tape side out and still maintain the same effect of the silicon taping due to the permeability effect. (Where as in dry sports, it loses about 30-40 % effectiveness when compared to tape side in).
2. We have a number of Wakeboard athletes currently using EnerSkin products around the globe. From an endorsement perspective, we received some great comments from Australian professional Aaron Petty:
"After three knee surgeries in three consecutive years and some 24 months of injury time i for one need anything i can to increase my potential on the water. A few months ago i was introduced to enerskin, a compression sleeve that would change my riding for the better. After wearing these things for a couple of days i noticed i could ollie normally again and i could move my leg around without annoying delay, this has really been boosting my confidence to try bigger and better things that id never thought i’d be doing on a wakeboard. I would definitely recommend the gear to anyone looking for a bit of an extra kick and improvement in their daily ride. "
