OK, you’ve probably already heard about the upcoming hybrid wakeboard boat coming out from Epic. The usual suspects have covered the story.  Well, I was surprised to find that in addition to the wakeboard press, Engadget also covered the story.  Engadget is a blog that I read daily that focuses on tech stuff…you know like computers, cell phones, electronics, etc.  They are also one of the top 5 biggest blogs in the world.  Epic Boats really maximized their exposure with that story.  Even better, the tune was very positive from Engadget when talking about the upcoming vessel.  That is a HUGE win for Epic.  Congrats on the exposure…

Several wakeboard companies have jumped on board the Twitter train. If you haven’t heard of Twitter, you will.  It has been growing in popularity for a while now, and within the last year it seems to be growing exponentially.  Essentially for those of you that aren’t in the know, Twitter is a way of posting short updates of what you are up to.  Updates can be as simple as “I’m enjoying a cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee” (which, I actually am doing while typing this).

So, who is on Twitter?  Well, I don’t have an extensive list, but here are a few I know…

• Me! - twitter.com/mikemclin
• DailyWake - twitter.com/dailywake
• LearnWake - twitter.com/learnwake
• Company Wake - twitter.com/companywake
• Wakeboarding Mag - twitter.com/wakeboardingmag
• Humanoid Wake - twitter.com/humanoidwake
• Kyle Schmidt - twitter.com/jhkswake

I’m sure there are a ton more on there.  If you know of anyone else, leave a comment, and I’ll add them to the list.
