every year they publish a survey on how many people participate in certain sports and how often they do that sport. You can look it up and find the growth over a few years.

Hi Karl, I went to the website, and looked at all the sub menus and couldn't find it.

Front page, sponsor column, last one all the way down. It says WSIA.

Now I know why we are not on TV - not worth marketing to - cannot follow a marketing link.

Here is the link for those directionally challenged: http://www.watersportsindustry.com/

The numbers are not on their website. Contact them and ask for their statistics.

And of course the executive director is Larry Meddock! Joey Meddocks dad and ex VP of Correct Craft.

Sorry - sarcasm does not come across well in text.

Man if one of my web site's growth is any indication then I believe it is the fastest growing! www.WakeboardNorthwest.com went from about 400 visits the first month to 15,000+ a short 5 or 6 months later!
