Has anyone else noticed that the majority of talk as to a new boat's usefulness and value is directly related to the surf wave it can produce? What happened??? This is fascinating to me. It's like a part of wakeboarding has died in a way.
My opinion is, people who have gotten older, had a knee surgery or three, have said "Heck with it, I'm sort of done wakeboarding but, I still love water sports and still want to be out there enjoying that lifestyle and I'm the guy who can buy a new boat".
Boat makers wanna make boats for the people who will actually be buying them. Ten years ago, wakeboarding was still young enough to where people didn't know the potential or likelihood of injury to themselves via wakeboarding. Now, all of those older riders who've been riding and have been educated on reality (you mean my body won't hold up forever?) and have money are in the market for something they can still have fun on and not jeopardize their future earnings by doing.
My prediction? Surfing is the wave of the future. Pun intended. Thoughts?
