Wolfman, You know I've said time and time again that the soulcraft boards that I have ridden are great. I loved the Da Honu.

But Showing all the podium shots means that 1) they are a great board. and 2) it means that they have deep sponsorship pockets. I would imagine that those riders could have gotten on the podium riding any top end board.

Kinda like Gopro vs. Contour. Gopro saturated the market and dominated the sponsorships. Were they a better camera than Contour? in some ways, yes, but in other ways absolutely not. I used both and have first hand experience. But who ultimately dominated the marketplace? Gopro.

I guess that all I'm saying is that you seem to be pushing soulcraft pretty hard. Is it safe to assume that you guys are sponsored by them and get free product? Is it safe to assume you have a bias? Have you personally ridden any of the other high end boards? I'd love to hear your first hand experience. of the high end boards, I've ridden Soulcraft, Doomswell, and Brigade. So those are the only ones I can speak to.

Please, don't take this wrong, I'm not trying to discredit ANYTHING you're saying. They're probably the top boutique wakesurf company. they have awesome market penetration and that can't happen without a quality product. I guess I was just looking for a "we're sponsored by Soulcraft and have an admitted bias" type disclaimer.
