Yet another generous offer by a boat company allows us and then you access to pictures of Mastercrafts 2008 line of X series boats. Director of Marketing John Behling slipped us the link after an interview at surf expo so we could post almost every detail right down to the drain plug changes. Browse through their broad range of different size wake vessels, accessory changes, and graphic stylings. We even included photos of a non-X-Series model which is one of their salt water releases because we heard it is a pretty sweet wake boat.

Correct Craft looks to “revolutionize” the wake industry with the first ever CEO blog. I’m not sure if this is really a revolution or just an evolution. Eventually you figured the blogging world, which has been exploding in every other industry, would eventually trickle into wake. Of course, DailyWake is a blog, but I guess manufacturer blogsites are still somewhat rare.

Slingshot is gaining momentum. During the Surf Expo hoopla, a lot of readers have spoken out about Slingshot’s innovative products. Now the company gives them even more to talk about by signing Jeff House to their Pro team. Jeff joins Jeff McKee on an increasingly impressive team. There is no doubt in my mind that they are going to go after Jeff Weatherall and Jeff Heer next to complete their Jeff monopoly [editors note: OK, that was corny, I know].

UGP further solidifies itself in the wake market with yet another strong lineup of soft goods, shoes and accessories that are meant to get wet, not dirty. The cutting-edge clothing company has always had it’s roots planted deep into the BMX community, but it is nice to see that their wake line is just as comfortable, stylish, and innovative.

Mastercraft had one of the biggest boat booths at Surf Expo showing the industry that they are still one of the top manufacturers. They were segregated with wake on one side of the aisle and waterskiing on the other showing further separation between the two sports than years past. There wasn’t much new at expo as far as models, but aesthetically the boats were even more dressed up than last. Director of Marketing John Behling sat down in front of this years cool graphics on the X Star to give us a small scoop on whats new for 2008.

For 2008, Straightline has a new logo and a new look, but when you look deeper into their product-line you’ll notice that aesthetics aren’t the only changes for 2008.
