The Salt Lake boat show is going on this weekend. I picked myself up a new board. It is a Ronix Parks Thruster.

To make things even better Parks Bonifay was at the show with Marine Products (who I bought it through) and he signed the board for me. Can't wait for it to warm up to go hit the lake. It should be a fun board.

Nice pick up!
Is that the one with the channels cut out on the rails?
Thanks. Yeah it is the one with the channels.
Does it have the crazy, multiple fin locations? If so, it's a fun board. Might be my favorite of the wakeboard company produced boards, but I've yet to ride the
LF Hazen.

SWEET! Personally, if I had a board signed by the man himself I doubt I would let it anywhere near water but that's just me.

Same board but this is the illuminati edition. It has 6 fin locations and has LED lights that light up around the board.Quote:

I don't think I would ride that board, with Parks sig on it.
I've never understood why someone's signature has any value. Maybe a guy like John Hancock, but Parks? I mean, I respect his wakeboarding career achievements but that doesn't make me want his signature or anything else from the guy. To each his own I guess. If he sat next to me in a restaurant I wouldn't save his water glass to keep his fingerprints (more unique than a signature) either.
Kane, That's how I feel about it. I bought the board to ride. He happened to be at the boat show where I purchased it and thought it would be cool to have his signature. I can't afford to by another board to ride just because it has his signature on it.Quote:

Had a roommate one time whose most prized possession was a cocktail napkin bearing the autographs of all the members of the legendary band --- wait for it -- Night Ranger!!!!!! (Remember "Sister Christian"?) That was maybe when it started for me. Don't get me started on gold or diamonds --I have a whole separate rant about why these are valuable in modern society-- I mean, why are they valuable? It's cuz they're SHINY! Kinda primitive if you ask me.
