There is nothing quite like getting a crisp new tee, a hit on the chest encapsulating your very essence with one blaring design. Now magnify that by the thousand and you pretty much sum up the magnitude of the new offering in our clothing category. And if we didn’t have your favorite brand before, we surely do now with the addition of brands like Adidas, Ashbury, Circa, Dragon, DVS, Electric, Element, ES, Etnies, iPath, Lakai, Lifetime, Matix, Reef, RVCA, Spacecraft, Ten80, UGP, Vonzipper, Zooyork, and more.

And you don’t need to go broke to look good either. We have hundreds of new t-shirts under $10. Check in often because we’re constantly refreshing our offering.

Company Wake, the latest wakeboard line to hit the industry, was built on a simple philosophy - give the people what they want. Even though this is the first season for Company Wake, its roots go deep. The founders have been involved in the sport from the very beginning.

The product line is straight forward, and each model has a distinct style. If you want a smooth fast board that will boost you into the flats, The Recruit Wakeboard is the way to go. If you prefer a loose but snappy ride with more vertical pop off the wake, The Severance Wakeboard will have you grinning like your yearbook photo from ‘97.

If you’ve noticed some changes around Wakeside lately, you aren’t delusional. Foremost, after a small lull in product offering while improvements were being made, there are now thousands of new products on the site. Every category from wakeboards to men’s shoes has gotten the love. So take a look around, we think you’ll like what you see.

We’re also running some promotions to kick off the new offering. If you buy any wakeboard, we’ll give you a free Wakeside board bag, which is a $39.95 value. And if you spend over $500 total you get a free 2009 Gator Impala wakeskate, which sells for $249. No kids meal goodies here.

These are just a few of the exciting things new at Wakeside, so check in often to see what’s going on.

With the NIke 6.0 “Air Mogan Mid Wake” and the “Cush Wake” having arrived recently, you may wonder… Is the season really about to start.  Well… for much of the country, the season is well under way and the reviews on these bad boys are coming in. 

Nike 6.0 Air Mogan Mid Wake shoe

Although this shoe has the profile of a mid skate, the Air Mogan Mid Wake can ride like a low by simply not using the ankle strap… Or should I say “use” the ankle strap for fashion rather than function. Either way, with the majority of the Upper being made of Nike’s Open cell mesh, the Nike 6.0 Air Mogan Mid is super light, super flexible and barely feels like any thing is on your feet.  Perfect for wakeskates with foam tape.

Nike 6.0 Cush Wake Shoe

A little less wake and a little more skate, the Nike 6.0 Cush Wake is going to be more friendly for those who desire Plentifull water expulsion while using traditional grip tape on their wakeskates.  Although the Cush Wake is a low top, the use of more traditional suade and Nubuk upper with the minimum of Open cell mesh, give this Nike more support than the Air Mogan Mid.

The bottom line here…. Nike, the goddess of victory, would be proud of these shoes that carry her namesake.

Epic Wakeboats has recently unveiled their version of a water going Prius… The recently declassified Epic 23E is a more environmentally friendly wake boat that also claims to have half the fuel consumption of its counterparts. Additionally, this bad boy runs with greatly decreased noise and may save you from those exhaust headaches when spending extended amounts of time wake surfing.

The 23E uses Flux Propulsion’s state of the art Marine Drive System. Harnessing the forefront of battery technology the 23E may be a step in the right direction for marine sports in general.

Looks like it might be pretty fun, as long as the graphic wrap gets toned down a little.

It doesn’t get much more classic than this. The Vans Era Shoes have stood the test of time and span the entire width of the gender and lifestyle grid. From rockers to boatsmen to nerds, the Vans Eras are always a footwear necessity.

The Vans Mikalah moccasin-inspired silhouette would be a great addition to your ballet flats collection. Complete with wooden beads and leather lace details, these shoes feature Vans signature vulcanized construction with micro rubber waffle sole. Full suede upper.

So what are you waiting for? You better buy a pair before all of the employees beat you to it! Shop Vans Shoes Now.

CWB Board Co. signs Matt Manzari to join Stu Shinn on their 2009 Wakeskate team. When Stu went to CWB we were all a little shocked as CWB has never been an innovator in the Wakeskate scene. That was until this year when the CWB Onset Wakeskate was announced. The new skate is a great design that should help Matt and Stu keep dominating the progression of Wakeskating.

CWB Onset 42 Wakeskate 2009 $249.99

New for 2009, Launch Pad Introduces the Sumo Sac Ballast Bags

The Launch Pad Sumo Sacs are the most flexible, puncture-resistant ballast bags available today. Made with a sandwiched, woven polyester core and have internally glued and taped seams for a nearly indestructible bag. The sandwich construction keeps them thin, so they are easy to fold up and store when not in use. All Launch Pad Sumo Sacs come standard with the LPL (Launch Pad Link) check valve System. The Launch Pad Link system addresses and corrects all of the past aggravations of filling your ballast bags. The bag valve is spring-loaded so that the pump’s nozzle opens it up during both filling and draining, which means no more water shooting into the boat.
