ACTIVE WATER SPORTS

We got the new Obscura Wakeskate video in yesterday and within a matter of minutes it was playing on the shop TV.  Dan and Bryan were stoked on it.  They claimed it was a refreshing wakeskate video and haven’t seen anything like it since sfumato.  Aaron Reed and Danny Hampson were the rider favorites.  It was great to see Aaron back in action like he was never injured.  Danny’s part was so innovative and inspiring that we had to hold Bryan back from grabbing a drysuit and the new Liquid Force SST Wakeskate and heading to the Willamette.   Shot primarily in Texas and the South East with a hip-hop free soundtrack, Obscura’s Washed Up Before We Were Has Beens has really bumped up the shop stoke for a late November skate session.  Dan and Bryan give it 4 Thumbs Up.  Buy your copy of Washed Up Before we were Has Beens today!

Liquid Force’s products for 2011 are absolutely insane! In 2010, they introduced some amazing new boards that were by far the hottest and fastest selling anywhere.  The Watson Hybrid was featured on the cover of wakeboarding magazines all across the world for good reason!  For 2011, Liquid Force has dramatically increased their capacity on all the Grinds and Hybrid Wakeboards, so everybody who wants one will be able to ride one!

2011 Liquid Force Board Tech:

Liquid Force Grind Technology:  The GRIND base features a bomb-proof sintered surface for unreal durability and all the park abuse you can deliver.  Check out the 2011 Liquid Force Witness Grind!

Liquid Force Hybrid Technology: Using the Liquid Rail sidewall construction, coupled with their proven hull shapes, Hybrids give riders boards that work great in parks and wake-to-wake.  With lively response flex for a more springy pop off the wake, and softer landings, and crisp hull shapes, you can get the best of both worlds in one board.  Check out the 2011 Melissa Board (one of the only women’s specific hybrids) !

2011 Liquid Force Binding Tech:

The Liquid Force binding line has been 100% redesigned!  They are the most comfortable, supportive, and high performance bindings in the world!  The 2011 bindings for Liquid Force showcase a renewed focus on quality, comfort, durability and performance.  Check out the Liquid Force Harley Bindings!

The goal at Liquid Force has always been the same  – to make the coolest product on the market so you can have the most fun on the water.  For 2011 their relentless pursuit of innovation has produced quite a few products that will make you smile and enjoy the ride like never before!

Don’t forget!  Tonight is Evening with the Stars! We’ve been prepping the shop all week and it looks amazing.  Our service garage has been transformed into a fully equiped show room, stocked with the hottest Malibu, Supra, Axis, and Moomba boats.  The shop has been cleaned from floor to ceiling, 2011 wake and ski gear is on display, and all our reps from Liquid Force, Ronix, Slingshot, Hyperlite, and HO will be here to answer any of your questions.  Doors open at 7pm tonight so join the AWS Crew for our favorite event of the year- Evening with the Stars!

Meet the Pros:

Jeff House, Adam Errington, Jimmy LaRiche, Kevin Henshaw, and Dave Wingerter will all be in attendance. In addition to any last minute pros who may have forgot to RSVP.

Shop the Sale:

This is hands down the BEST time to buy anything wake or ski related. For one night only we are offering FACTORY DISCOUNTS on all our 2011 Moomba, Supra, Axis, and Malibu boats. 2010 Wake and Ski Gear will all be marked down to 40% off and we’ve got some special package deals too! These are better-than-boat-show prices, so don’t miss out.  Visit our Facebook page for some other killer coupons.

Score some Schwag:

There will be tons of freebies and giveaways throughout the night. We’ve teamed up with our favorite brands to offer a large array of raffle prizes (all proceeds benefit the CCA) and product tosses. We’ll also be serving free food (it goes fast!) and handing out free high-fives.

It’s just one night, so don’t miss out.

This Movember Liquid Force (The Mustachios) has decided to donate their faces to raising awareness about cancers that affect men.  Their commitment is the growth of a moustache for the entire month of Movember, which I know will generate conversation, controversy and laughter at LF and beyond…

They’re doing this because:

-  1 in 2 men will be diagnosed with cancer in his lifetime

-1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime

Help support The Mustachios efforts by making a donation to the great work of the Prostate Cancer Foundation and LIVESTRONG.  To help, you can either:

- Click this link http://us.movember.com/mospace/980458/ and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account

- Write a check payable to Movember, referencing Registration Number 980458 and mailing it to: Movember, PO Box 2726, Venice, CA 90294-2726

The money raised will help make a tangible difference to the lives of others, through the world’s most promising prostate cancer research and LIVESTRONG’s programs that support young adults and their families battling and surviving cancer.

For more details on how the funds raised from previous campaigns have been used and the impact Movember is having please visit
