ya. I don't know what their deal is.
in the industry jobs section on here it looks like the owner is looking for reps.

(andy_nintzel)

maybe they are trying to make a comeback.

it says wood in the core... I loved my old DNA Byerly, one of the best boards i've ever been on, I would certainly try one out.

I think these guys are out of Denver. Nice guy. Looked at the product line last may in person. Looks solid. Really liked the skates. They winch around here too.

PS: Yep, that is Josh Holder, and Bart Copeland, both great guys!

This was a great product(still got one). the owner/designer is a famous wakeboard designer and had been with a stack of companies. He was doing wake and skate last time I talked. He is one of the few guys that really understand wakeboard design and went for simple designs.

Hope he is still around.

I am still here every day playa. Just keep my mouth shut most of the time. Had a kid last year, and did shoulder surgery, so had my hands full. Rocking the '09 MB tomcat though which has been fun. I am still doing photo stuff for MB and the mags, but pretty low key. Good to see you here. Jocko is still around I hear, but us old timers get wiser and quieter!
