I don't know about the Emily thing, but I talked to Darin yesterday and he said that he had just put in his order for all his Liquid Force gear.

It's great to hear that one of the big players picked up Darin!

(wakeguru) · (wakeguru) **Join Date: Feb 2003** 03-31-2005, 10:20 AM

Yeah, congrats Darin. LF made a good move.

Joe, you gonna start that whole argument again?

(dakid) · (dakid) **Join Date: Feb 2001** 03-31-2005, 10:48 AM

settle down robert. you take me way too seriously.

you want a different argument? how's this? do you think lf got rid of emily to make room for darin?

I don't know about dumping Ms. C-D for Snapiro....but as far as I am concerned, E.C. is my favorite rider and I throw my support and dollars behind any team she rides for.....

Well....maybe not, but she is still my favorite rider and someone should pick her up and mass market her.....starting with a large poster. She can be the Farrah poster for this generation of kids....

According to LF, they are in talks with Emily right now about renewing her contract.

(deuce) · (deuce) **Join Date: Mar 2002** 03-31-2005, 11:16 AM

Speaking if LF....did they drop Nautiques as their tow boat for Trip Across America?

This year they are pulling a big green Malibu Wakesetter LSV.

(deuce) · (deuce) **Join Date: Mar 2002** 03-31-2005, 11:33 AM

Makes sense if for no other reason, they have MUCH more room for people to hang in the boat.

I'm sure Darin had something to do with that Malibu. Seems too coincidental.

Either way, that will be one sweet rig.

rammer is right.

I wonder if Darin will get his own board next year, or if they'll re-name the team board.

alanp 03-31-2005, 1:53 PM

i think its a good fit. a older rider to balance out some of the younger talent. from that article(referring to jimmy redmon) sounds like he is going to have a pro model as well.

(da_moose) · (da_moose) **Join Date: Feb 2004** 03-31-2005, 3:57 PM

you know joe ,I did talk to Darin yesterday ,when I was hanging at da track,I'v been so bizzy taken care of my customers that pay ,it's pretty hard for me to pay someone to ride the BEST board around.Darin did call me & told he still has a open mind to ride TEAM MOOSE someday.15 min later I hit a Tri. for $660. Oh well
But someday I would like to add Darin to my LIST OF CHAMPIONS & LEGENDS

I thought L.F. owned O'Brien
So what was the big switch

malibu36 04-05-2005, 5:35 PM

with the exception of gator boards and collin wright boards all of the board companies, hyperlite, cwb, o'brien, lf, etc., are now owned by the same person (cant think of his name)

Kent Sports if I'm not mistaken...

(da_moose) · (da_moose) **Join Date: Feb 2004** 04-06-2005, 10:27 AM

ya ,I know who your talking about ,I'm not a good name person,I'm more of a numbers guy

(electricsnow) · (electricsnow) **Join Date: May 2002** 04-06-2005, 11:00 AM

a numbers guy...like 420? I'm just kidding! I'm sorry, I just could't resist...I just couldn't...

but I'm bad with names too. Watson had his pic taken with bob archer--isn't he involved with kent somewhere? I can't remember all of the sordid details anymore.

The naked chef comes through with a pun!Nice one~!

What's up, Moose!

Yes, it's Bob Archer who has invested in quite a few of the wake companies. I believe the parent company is Kent Sports.

Gator Boards and Hydroslide are the largest of the widely distributed board manufacturers who've maintained their sole ownership. There are a number of smaller entities (Cassette, Kampus, many of the wakesurf manufacturers)are going it alone.

whew, that's quite a compliment coming from the master of verbosity. :-)

Or, I suppose the verbosity thing is debatable, but someone I spoke to, in turn, spoke highly of you and said that you "have the gift of gab."

And with that said, somehow I feel like I just stole one of your moves...(ha)

And with that said...
