At Polar Bear? He told me 400. Oh well, whatever. This discussion has gone circular. It loves 1000# and that’s Robert’s normal jam.

Weight is weight. Centurion weight is the same as Supra weight is the same as Nautique weight is the same as MB weight and so are the days of our lives....

When comparing and critiquing boats and waves, ensure it’s apples to apples before declaring good better and best. You’ll find that at comparable weights, they all are within a gnat’s ass of one another.

The end.

But who has the most cup holders? That is the true champion.

It wouldn't be wakeworld if it stayed on topic & didn't go down hill quick to a slinging fest. It's why I love this place!

dakota4ce 01-25-2019 12:07 PM

So true. I usually can stay out of it until misconceptions or otherwise strange versions of fact are put forth.

Or if I encounter a sniff of blind brand loyalty that claims a surf advantage. Because it’s pretty much never true. Gets me every time.

jonblarc7 01-25-2019 12:14 PM

We are arguing about a SURF WAVE!!!!!!! With a suck gate all boats surf fine now.

LOL that's funny coming from the guy who jumps in with obvious moomba supra brand loyalty .

downfortheride 01-26-2019 5:54 AM

Dude you’re quite wrong.

I have owned a Tige, MB, Supra, Moomba and likely back to Tige sometime soon. Malibu is also on my short list—love my buddies 23LSV. I would entertain Centurion if we had a dealer. All this in 7 years. I would own each of these brands again in a heartbeat. Pretty loyal, huh? I don’t give a flying turd what badge is on the boat.

How many times have I said on this thread that all brands are good? It feels like 1000. I have no loyalty to SkiersChoice, but when someone says they aren’t up to par I feel like it’s worth mentioning that you’re wrong. For the good of anyone who might be considering multiple brands. The point is: if you think one brand has special advantages over another in the surf wave department, you’re wearing homer goggles and are misinformed. Oh crap, there it is again. The same message.

So thanks for the feedback—hope you had a good LOL. I currently own a Skiers Choice product, but stay tuned. Because they all rip, and I will find the formula for my boat no matter what brand. It’s all about the deal!

I will add a caveat: probably will never own Nautique or a Mastercraft because I feel like they’re unnecessarily too expensive.

You may as well tell us you’d rather eat hamburger than steak.

LOL—possibly touché. But really good hamburger? I had a demo on the new XStar. Sweet sweet machine no doubt.

Love it! I like ‘em, that’s not the issue. Just too poor.

tripsw 01-26-2019 7:29 PM

OK. Fine. Agreed. But still: where are those pillow-pics?! I keep coming back to this thread to find nothing but boat-talk! Come one, WW can do better than that!

markj 01-26-2019 11:03 PM

Yeah I’m in the market for a good new pillow. We might as well start presenting the best virtues of the boat show pillows.

dougr 01-27-2019 4:25 AM

Found it funny, that at the Charlotte boat show, when asked about wake boarding, every boat manufacturer said, "no one is focused on wake boarding, all surfing" It was surf, surf, surf, surf. Not that i care, but funny how the entire market is on the other side now, Even the mastercrasft rep was bragging on the xstars surf wake. WTF

wombat2wombat 01-27-2019 5:48 AM

Maybe I’m Johnny come late but by pillows are we talking boobs?

tripsw 01-27-2019 6:13 AM

And THAT gives the thread a whole new direction! :p

I think it’s because they want to sell boats.

Yep. The infamous bamboo pillows. My sister bought 2 from a show when she was visiting me, from Australia, a few years back..[emoji23]

tripsw 01-27-2019 7:09 PM

FINALLY!
But I still don't get it :( It's just a normal pillow. Someone please explain: why is everybody hauling pillows to or from a boat show?

Hyperryd 01-27-2019 8:16 PM

That's exactly what I said when I brought up the pillows in the first place. Why are people spending boat money on pillows at a BOAT SHOW? lol

wombat2wombat 01-28-2019 6:02 AM

I bought one of those bamboo pillows, didn't do what I wanted, still had bad neck pain. I have been through about 30 pillows over the last two years trying to find one that supports my neck & being a side sleep with bad shoulders I struggle. After all the money I've blown on expensive or therapeutic pillows this $20 one from Amazon proved to be the best pillow ever. And you can remove & add foam to get it just right.

Now, who wants to talk "pillows"?

edgeski1 01-28-2019 6:34 AM

wait until you see the 2020 model bamboo pillow. #gamechanger All others before it are bullsh*t

jonblarc7 01-28-2019 10:08 AM

I got to admit I'm pretty let down on the picture of the new bamboo pillows. I built up this image of the ultimate pillow. I thought it would be like a bean bag chair we could use on our porch.


Then I find out it's just another pillow. Wakeworld let down of the year!!!!!

tripsw 01-28-2019 11:39 AM

I know... bummer huh!? I'm even thinking I might rather go back to talking... boats.

Just curious for anyone who might know, what could one expect on discount if purchasing a new rig at this years LA show? more on the lower end of things MB,TIGE,MALIBU.

Boatnam1 11-23-2019 8:11 AM

Nobody has experience with a boat show buy?

bass10after 11-24-2019 8:39 AM

I can’t believe this is what it’s come to lol I’m guessing ww and the industry wished they never censored the leaked pics, new models etc from this site. At least people were here talking about them. Now it’s bamboo and memory foam pillows! lol and actually ended up being the most useful part of the whole thread!
