Epic wake boats release the 23E
(Hybrid Engine Wakeboarding Boat)

In times of global warming, high pollution and high fuel prices every company looks to do there part to save the planet.
In our opinion,  Epic boats have just become a pioneer of the waterskiing and wakeboarding boats market.

Epic boats have released the Epic 23E.  standing at 23feet and designed specifically for wakeboarding it is a hybrid engine wakeboat.
This is a bonus for both the environment and you.  Epic claims that the EPIC 23E burns 50% less fuel than a typical wakeboard boat on a 4 hour wakeboard outing – think of all the extra cash in your hip pocket.

The Hybrid engine is part electric but fuel based. The electric engine lasts for 1hour of wakeboarding or 3 hours of wakesurfing without using a drop of fuel.  the electric fuel cells can be re-charged by a generator or power wall outlet in about an hour.

The designers at EPIC have to be congratulated on such an effort, unlike the motor car manufacturers like the Toyota Prius the Epic 23E actually looks decent!  This might just be the first hybrid transportation vehicle that doesn’t look stupid.

Do something for your environment, save some cash on fuel and buy the Epic 23E.

Oh, if you own a H1 Hummer or a Ford F350 perhaps the Epic 23E isn’t for you… coz you’ve missed the point -it’s for the environment.

Malibu Boats 2009 Dealer Video

The Video:

After watching this movie you realize the broad range of owners of Malibu Boats from families, wakeboarders, slalom skiers, and bare-footers, why can’t we all just get along on the water – oh that’s right it’s the wake.

Malibu Boats, one of the world leaders in the waterski and wakeboard boats, have a cow-skin vinyl.  

Malibu Boat Cow Wrap

Actually, true recognition goes to Etco Marine, a Malibu boats dealer, who showcased the cow-skin at the Tulare Farm Show. The Farm show as you can guess relates to agriculture related products. 

If farmers get to ride boats like this.  Heck, I wanna become a farmer!  I say Raw Hide… or should it be ride hide.

New player to the wakeboard scene, Company Wake, have released the Company Wake Vests.

Company Wake; Pro Vest in black and white and Co. Vest.

These vests look totally awesome – the simple design, the hefty padding and the very suave logo.  The design kind of remind us of the old JetPilot signature Attack vests, which are no longer made, but were hugely popular.  Having said this the side entry angled zip is a very iconic design, and we like the no padding around the shoulder blades.

Bottom line, Company wake are making more of a statement in the wakeboarding scene then we expected!
