Wakeboarder Thoughts is an ongoing "journal" by Wakeboarder.com Editors.
Check back often for new thoughts on wakeboarding, wakeskating, this web site, and other random stuff.
What's up
Sorry I haven't posted here in a while, I've been pretty busy without too much to say. But I thought I'd give a preview of some things we've got happening.
More 2004 products will be added to the Gear Guide every week. Keep an eye out for them and be sure to rate and review them as you start trying out the 2004 goods.
We're adding some improvements to the forums which will be live soon. Some of the new improvements include more fields in the profiles, as well as the ability to rate posts that users accumulate a rating based on the quality of their posts. Hopefully it will inspire people to make quality posts. There are a few other small things we might be adding as well.

2004 Products
The 2004 products from all the companies are starting to roll out, especially with Surf Expo coming up in a few weeks. Expect to see lots of products featured on the site over the next few months, and lots of stuff will be added ot the Gear Guide.
It was a quick trip, but we got two full days of riding, and the conditions were perfect. Air temperature was around 100 degrees, there was very little wind, and we found some areas of perfect water. We were riding behind my friend's 2002 Super Air, and we loaded it with weight for an absolutely huge wake. We only had three riders on one day, and four on the other, so there was plenty of riding time for everyone.
It was one of those wakeboarding experiences where you say "It just doesn't get any better than this!"
We also got to do some wakesurfing which was a lot of fun, and being the only goofy-footed rider I had to do a lot of it switch, but that was okay, it was still very relaxing and fun.
Hopefully everyone gets a few perfect riding days in like these were by the end of the season.

Shasta Here I Come!
It's almost Friday morning, which means it's off to Lake Shasta for a couple of days of relaxation, also known as wakeboarding, wakeskating, wakesurfing, and anything else we can do wake-related.
I hope to get enough video footage to put together an entertaining 5-minute video for the site. Some of my riding buddies can do a trick or two, so hopefully it will come out okay.
