ACTIVE WATER SPORTS

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.

Company wake’s own Randall Harris and Eddie Valdez join Liquid Force Wakeboards Melissa Marquardt for a tow behind the Axis A22 Wakeboard Boat. Looks like a cold day in SoCal but it doesn’t stop these riders from going huge.

The Axis Wake Research team is not limited to pro athletes or Axis owners. This team is a collection of individuals who would rather be on the end of a wakeboard rope than almost anywhere else in the world. It’s this common motivation that pulled them to the Axis movement. They are part of the team because they no longer see cost effective big wake boating as a list of sacrifices. As Axis Team members these individuals realize wakes, pride, performance and style can intersect in a price-point boat. The membership roster is constantly growing and includes everyone from Axis A22 owners to Axis employees to pro athletes to Axis dealers to industry partners.
