I just got a 09 40.5 SST from my rep and LF took Silas's name off. I think its kind of funny. How about you?

skateonwater, yep

Remotewakeskates.com

i think he is just following his heart
and if he came up with the 40.5 he can come up with plenty more designs that will work just as well

i think silas sucks hard at wakeskating to be where he's at. call me a hater if you want. i think the "sst" is an ok board. i think it's funny he spent years "perfecting" his board to switch to a whole new company and back to a single level deck.

mojo, it's all marketing, half the pro testomonials attached to their respective boards are most likely not even statements made by them for most Larger companies.

is anyone else slightly overwhelmed with how many wakeskate companies there are today?
