Conspiracy? Nope, not when Phillip Soven and Dallas Friday ride for you. While Soven’s victory might not be that exciting (the dude is now filling up closet #3 with 1st place trophies), Dallas’ victory is. It is safe to say that the pro women’s landscape has changed quite a bit since she exited the sport to recover from a near fatal injury. It is great to see her on top, and I hope the new crop of girls can push each other and the female perspective of wakeboarding that much further.

The Corvette Limited Edition Sport-V symbolizes all of these things and bares more than a resemblance to its legendary landlocked brother. It displays strikingly precise styling cues. From the signature Corvette “Cove” tooled into the hull to the authentic Corvette emblems to the power wing windshield to the rear taillight design used for through-hull ventilation down to the authentic Corvette rims on the custom Corvette trailer.

WakeWorld is reporting skiboat manufacturer’s market share for the 2nd quarter of 2007 [according to Statistical Surveys Inc]. No big news here… The top 8 manufacturers have remained unchanged for a while now. Malibu still leads the pack, with Mastercraft next, and Correct Craft (Nautiques) rounding out the top 3.
The big winner in all of this appears to be Skier’s Choice. Both of their boating brands [Moomba & Supra] have gained market share, and when combined they snatch the bronze medal away from Correct Craft.
