Deep in the homeland of Mirko CroCop, the wakeboard community BoardForce was celebrating their 3rd birthday.  They were nice enough to send us a video and over 300 pics! So after examining the photos, I’ve gone through the normal party check list…

Absurdly drunk guys…..check
Hot girls……check
Almost-hot girls (you know, for the rest of us)…..check
Cake in the face…..check

Yeah, sounds like a pretty good time.  Check out the photos and video below.

OK, so first we had the story, then the gallery, and now we have a video of the 2009 Malibu 23 vRide.  I think that is all the Malibu news we can handle for today…

The boys (actually it was a girl) at Supra sent us this cool video of their new Moomba LSV Liquid Force Edition boat getting the wrap-job. The custom wrap was created for the annual BROstock event. Check it out…

An important part of any boater’s arsenal is a good cell phone.  Of course these days it seems any phone just won’t do anymore.  Ever since Apple threw it’s hat into the cell phone arena, people have been flocking to it’s new “touch” interface.  With their newer, faster, and cheaper 3G model now available, and several other worthy contenders now on the market, I figured it was a good time to compare some of the most popular models.  Since we are setting the Apple iPhone as the benchmark, we’ll throw in 2 (almost 3) other phones that have a touch interface into the mix.  The other phones are the Samsung Instinct and the HTC Touch Diamond, which are both Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 smartphones.  The other contender that is still on the outside looking in, is the upcoming “Google-phone” running it’s new Google-developed software called “Android.”  Google hasn’t officially announced a release date yet, but we do have a video of the software running in an almost finalized version.

The boys at AllianceWake have a video of Aaron Rathy doing a heelside 1080.  The interesting part is that the video creator slowed down the clip AFTER the 1080.  Usually you want to slow down the actual trick, not the reaction.  Maybe it was because they wanted to hear that Chewbacca sounding voice.  Who knows.

Now go see the vid!

I am always hesitant when reading wakeboard DVD reviews because I always seem to come away unimpressed.  It seems many reviewers are way too favorably biased.  Very rarely do I see a review that says — “This video sucks.”  So I’ve ignored many reviews in the past and admittedly narrowed my wake viewings to a very limited list of directors.

So when I read the Wakeboarder.com review for “Impact”, and saw that it was given a 9, I was immediately biased against it.  I’ve never heard of the film creator, nor did I have a huge interest in watching a “cable” video.  So, trying to be a responsible blogger, I figured I’d at least give the trailer a looksy.  Immediately my preconceived notions had vanished.  I was mesmerized by the beautiful visuals, highspeed film, and epic styling of the trailer.  The trailer did exactly what it was supposed to do…make me interested in seeing this DVD.

Here is the Wakeboarder.com review

Below is the Impact Trailer
