It sounds like DEFY will be in stores sooner than you think. Sean Kilgus stated, via Facebook, that the video is almost finished and is planning to have it out and in stores by Thanksgiving. The Seattle premier dates are also being announced very soon. Stay posted for more information.

Unfortunately we’re probably not going to have the video available for Evening with the Stars. But, keep an eye out for this long anticipated video to be hitting ActiveWake.com as soon as you can say “Happy Thanksgiving!” See you at the premier.

It’s a rainy Monday in Portland, so naturally we’ve been surfing the web for video clips that remind us of sunnier days.  We were stoked to stumble across the In-Transit video trailer.  Presented by Josh Robinson of  Sideswipe Productions, Ronix and Urban Rider Cable, In-Transit looks to be one of the most stylishly filmed wakeboard videos ever.  Set in some of the most beautiful wakeboarding locales in the world, In Transit captures some of the most inspiring riding from Danny Harf, Chris O’Shea, Harley Clifford, Shawn Watson, Dean Smith, Chad Sharpe, Mitch Langfield, Randall Harris, and more.  We can’t wait for the full-length feature to be in stock soon!

As half of the AWS crew is setting up in Seattle, the rest of us are left with a bit of a Portland boat show hangover.  After a week of trucking in 22 boats, recreating our retail shop in the middle of the Expo Center, and talking non-stop for 4 days to some of our favorite customers, industry reps, and pros, it’s no wonder we’re left feeling a little down and missing the high of the action packed boat show.

Some people cure their hangovers with Xanax, greasy food, and coffee, but a boat show hangover requires a little more emotional therapy than that.  What better way to brighten our post boat show mood than by re-living some of our favorite boat show memories?  Here’s a quick recap and a few photos that made the Portland Boat Show one of the best for Active Water Sports.

The Limited Ronix One Red Wakeboard is just what the doctor, Danny Harf, ordered. This is not your standard Ronix One Wakeboard. Besides the rad RED top sheet the bottom features a Sintered Base, the most durable non-stick surface Ronix has ever developed. Pay attention to the details because there are a lot of man hours in this piece of art. From the foiled stamps to the raised logo plate this thing crazy. The subtle elephant print shines in the morning light and also matches the Ronix One Boots perfectly. As for those sun glasses… You better leave it to Bryan Swarm to keep it rock’n in the free world. Activewake.com is starting to run out of these gems so get them before they are gone. Jobe said that these are limited for real so they will actually run out by summer.

The Limited Ronix One Red Wakeboard shape pioneers the evolution of variable rails. Shallow molded fins, forgiving angled bevels, and a fuller mid rail set the pace of this mellower freeride inspired shape. As a rider’s weight shifts back, the variable rail transitions to a sharper rail and bevel in the tail – so the board can hook up with a strong, predictable edge up the wake every time. Last season, Danny switched out his rocker to a speedier 3-stage kick and landed a historic switch toeside 1260 days after jumping on his new shape with the additional momentum off the transition. The reduced friction on the water will let any soul turn connoisseur upgrade their travels off the kicker – available in an alternative color. The round rails thru the center with a new angled bevel prevent that all too familiar edge catching a digger, and create an even mellower transitioned carve.

Props to Marine Products for getting all the boys down to for the Salt Lake City Boat Show. It always seems to be the most popular show for the wake industry. Its not surprising that Parks is not bad on a snowboard. Watson looks like he is holding back a little but he most definitely has the best style. Watch this video and get pumped to go Wakeboarding.
