I got a call last week out of the blue from a friend that rides at this lake in Bellingham, Washington. He said come on out and stay at my place and ride all week. So i tracked down a flight the next day to seattle and it came with with a free loaner caddy DTS (nice lucky upgrade). Bow lake is about 60-70 miles north of Seattle 1 mile 0ff of I-5.

The guys there (Tom, Micah, Big Tom) were cool as hell. Not to mention some great wakeskaters. The place is a full service camp with an amazing all brand new huge cabin set-up. Check the site out for many more cool pics. http://www.waterskiranch.com/index.php
They are now also a official dealer of all our products for 07 on the west coast. They have a full line of our boards there too so you can demo them.

Nice rails. flat water. three different boats to rip. amazing views. real laid back attitudes.

if you' ever out on the Northwestern coast def check them out for a set.

I also went an checked out Deepcoves place up in North Vancouver, BC. A really nice place also, They were gone Surfing and Deepcove himself was down in O-town wakeskating (just my luck after driving 100 miles into Canada) but i managed to snap some funny photos of some killer alpaca's in action during the long wait back across the boarder.

Theres a couple pics of some of the new 07 prototypes that we were testing there (our main reson for going since its freezing here.). These are very similar to the production decks. The production 07 bi and concaves are both durasurf bottoms now also.
There will be a full update on everything from our new Cold weather clothing line, New 07 decks, new fins, and our Winterskate (wakeskate, snow cross trainer were working on). We will have more info on the new Website. Launch date NOV 15th.

i am guessing that the bi level is just not put together yet or is it some new design cause i cant see the bolts and the other deck looks really good.

Yeah those lakes are pretty clean except that it has a clay bottom. hense the color. The place was crazy fun though. non stop riding for four long days.

That older lady has wakeboarded for years i guess. she asked why i was there and i told her we were trying out new skates for next year and she said "give me that thing" next thing i know she out doing surface 3's and ollieing. it was one the coolest thing that ive seen. I have a really short clip i will try to upload.

the bi level in the pic is a new shape and size for 07. We do have a new hardware set up too. Made specifically just for our new 07 models. The decks mounting holes are machined with a specially made bit that "seats" them into the decks perfectly flush and strong. all assembly tools are included with decks too.

The concaves are the same rocker as the movement flat decks with a .625" deep concave and kick tails. All CNC machined. .040 silkscreened Durasurf base. We are riding them finless. I put one fin in the tail for that lady and a couple other first timers (i used to ride every skate with a rear fin, but with this new shape i will never put one back on.) Our boards will come with all the fins holes marked but not drilled. We include instructions and drill sizes in the manuals.

Our fin supplier just sent us some of the new 07 fins also. I believe there similar to the one emily from Sattelyte put up on another thread (we must use the same fin manufacturer). We saw the attached digital drawing a while back but just got some in mail today. The look sick and a little smaller. And as always unbreakable.

specs on concaves:
41" x 15" 8.75 Lbs 5 Stage/finless, dura surf base/ jessup die cut

39" x 15" 8.25 Lbs 5 stage/ finless, dura surf base/ jessup die cut

Thanks to all the people that are helping and supporting us. your making it possible to create new designs and use new materials. The new website will have a better news section and more info on all of this stuff. stay tuned.
