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…

So, I was browsing through the internet for some DailyWake material this morning, and I was abuptly met with a photo of a girl sporting a wakeboard vest and not much else.  Obviously I am not above clicking on the image and taking a look at what’s inside.  I eventually learned that WBM has created a 2009 vest gallery filled with girls modeling the new gear.  I’m not sure what demographic they were trying to appeal to…  BUT, I know I’m in it.  Well done.
