Endless Wave wakesurf tour

[mmandley]

Its exciting to see we have this second event coming out. Please understand though, this is not concidered a Ranked Pro tour.

This is a Demo board and boat tour just like the Polar event.

Wake 9 has been doing the West Coast Open for a few years, and its just that, they have all the boards out from CMS <Cal Marine Sports> and they bring a couple demo boats, and Wake 9 supplies there Demo Tige Z3 and you get to surf and try things out.

The best part is you get to surf with the Tige Team riders and learn things, and this in its self is a competition but only within its 4 events.

This is really a big sales gimmick from Tige to get more people in there boats, and to show how they are pushing the Wakesurf sport forward. I am glad they are doing it, and i hope other manufactures get on board with it.


Sadly though, i was told something at the Polar bear event by 1 boat manufacturer and as i look at things from all the boat companies, something keeps ringing more and more clear.

What was said...Our boat company doesn't have the fancy pamphlets others have. We don't give demo boats to team riders. We don't even support team riders. We also don't have huge budgets to events, or advertising. We strictly build a quality boat and sell it at a fair price the average customer can afford it for.

This makes me think of the Big 3 and now 4 and how much money they spend on team riders, demo boats, events, and the likes that comes back to the huge price differences and this is why you see those boats at 15-30K more on average.

This wasn't SC who said this.

But more and more i understand why SC is on the stance it is with this type of thing.
