    I assume if they did not get the video posted, rumor mill would start and people would start to assume the review was 'bad' b/c they were not posting anything. It might be why he talked MORE about the plate not working properly and taking two outings to get the necessary footage.

    Perhaps those facebookidiots should grab a mojo and do their own review.

    If I were Robert, I would have given them all a big

    I think Robert is too nice to do that.

    I'm with you on what my reaction would be.

    I need to check myself, I get impatient when the boat configurator is due and I got ants in my pants waiting for thruster videos.

    So I am to myself.

    It was weird post on Facebook. The guy was from WI. Purchased a Mojo in late fall or early winter and did not test drive the 2021 Mojo. His new build was going to be delivered in a few weeks.

    It was all about Wake9 Review missing the "said date". To each their own. Maybe he was having a bad day or week or ???

    Robert has a lot of friends out there b/c he is a really nice guy. Most of the other Facebook peeps did not take too kindly to Wake9 bashing. I think they removed some of the posts.

    I think the guy was “Domasail” or some
    name like that and was from Alberta.

    His thread was a mess.

    And the review is just like everyone could have guessed. Good boat, good wave, same setup as all the other boats.

    I get it I guess...people ordering a completely redesigned boat that had very limited information about it available. But it's a Skiers Choice product...so you know that with an additional 500-1000lbs of lead it is going to be a surf beast...period!

    a lot of people just don't fully understand that the people/channels like wake9 don't make a living off of the content they produce.

    because there is so much content to consume, people set these unrealistic expectations that new content should be available when they want it.

    not entirely correct. Robert, and not talking about him AT ALL as he's a GREAT guy, does have a stake in skiers choice. just like he did with tige when in oroville.
    I believe that Robert goes above and beyond in his vids and reviews but he became known for it and they(manufacturers) look for it. I don't know his working relationship with skiers and could be on payroll and could be discount on boats for the press but he's "making money" off this-maybe not a living but he's in the industry due to his web design, video skills and overall brand ambassador.

    I'll play devils advocate for a minute. I'd be as jacked as everyone else to get shots of the boat doing what it does if it was my hard earned cash. all the boat manufacturers including skiers have had hulls that haven't lived up to expectations and led very short production lives before being modified. not every boat is a home run out of the gate and with the pricing now north of 100k for most models, getting vids out on new models really helps people justify the price and wait.

    Let’s all also realize that nothing major was reinvented here. The shape of the hull from the drivers seat back is most likely identical or nearly identical to other boats in the line. So there’s not a lot of performance risk at stake when a new model is stamped out. Tons of redesigning on the interior and the top cap and all that stuff, but the part that moves through the water is pretty cut and dry.
