'08 Chicago Boat Show






Wow! It was busy! I guess since the Bears weren't in the Playoff it made for a crowd of people on Sat/Sun, barely making it possible to even walk into the booth.



The Wakekite display was definitely a conversation piece...a 46" Flat screen 15' off the floor and the Wakekite 30' flying above our booth helped sell 5 wakekites! Ben Noble the Wakekite rider was helping plant the seed for all of the curious customers-handing out hundreds of flyer's and dvd's.



Harf and Ruck signed tons of posters, boards, hats, and other things fans brought to them-making their day. Even Shane Bonifay got caught up in our booth signing wakeboard paraphernalia(I won't tell LF it was a hyperlite hat).



It felt great to see people come out to see the new wakeboard products whether they were buying anything or not. Saturday it was -20 with the wind chill and there we were talking about what trick we were gonna work on or what new boot to try out. It definitely started to bring the itch back and make me want to forget about Snowboarding and hope that spring would come a lot sooner. Pretty soon we will all be out on the water with our new gear pumped to try it out for the first time. Until then, we will just have to dream about it.
