But seriously? Come on. You bought a boat based off them having team riders that are women. One team dropping women off their roster is going to make your daughter not be a pro wakeboarder?


What about nasa not doing manned space endeavors any more? Are you gonna boycott the government because your daughter cant be an astronaut anymore??? Really its just reverse sexism that youre basing your arguements off of. When I have kids, maybe one will be a girl. Will one boat manufacturer keep her from having a shot at being pro? Absolutely not. Need to have a different outlook on how your daughter will be successful in life...

She can still be a pro rider if that is what she chooses to do, just not for MC. NASA hasn't killed the space program, they've privatized it. Men and women are still going to space, just on other countries rockets. Just like women can still ride, just not for MC. My decision to purchase my boat was not based on a woman's team. I've owned three New VLXs, but if Malibu announced they were getting rid Of women, yes, I would sell it for that reason.

Again, I've never said MC is a bad boat, just don't agree with their philosophy. I'm sure you support different company's for what ever your reasons may be. You have your reasons, I have mine. You may not agree with them, but you don't have to. I can choose to spend my money elsewhere. Can you imagine the backlash Nike would face if it dropped women athletes? There would be protests world wide.

I have a son as well, but when you have a daughter, you become somewhat of a feminist. Daughters change you!

Dave you make no sense once so ever. Again what about all the other sponsors of the PWT that wouldn't fork over the extra money to keep the women's going on the PWT, why is it MasterCrafts responsibility to pay for everything. Also MasterCraft had two girl riders and if you had to pick one you are going to keep the one who helps you out the most. And thr certain one who didn't get her contract renewed what has she done the last couple years nothing she hasn't been riding good and doesn't market herself or MasterCraft It's All a business like other sports of you ain't cutting it you are going to get cut. I also have a little girl and coach a girl in wakeboarding and they don't look bad at mastercraft they look up to them for making wakeboarding what it is. If it wasn't for MasterCraft doing to PWT for 24 years where would women's wakeboarding be. So think before you talk.
