This board was built with the intention of actually selling it to the shops. As it turned out, this board was a bit too far ahead of its time, as only one shop in Iowa wanted to buy one (that's right, one shop). Ultimately, it was not mass produced, due to a lack of demand and the fact that it was not cost effective, given time period and the industry's understanding of wakeskating.
It's interesting to note that this board had a soft top and soft bottom, with a seamless part line. And the March 1998 gear guide from wakeboarding magazine had the retail price listed at 460.00, with fins and traction.
