Jetpilot Unveils New Website Dedicated to Their Rubber Goods

Posted on October 15th, 2008 by | posted in Gear, General

Jetpilot, you know, the guys that make the most popular vests in the wakeboard industry, just dropped their new website on us. Thankful it’s like on the jetski gear (stand-ups FTW), and instead chooses to focus on the wake scene.

Mike Schwenne gets a lot of play on the new site, as do the rest of Jetpilot’s sponsored athletes. The site features all of Jetpilot’s wake gear, and you can even purchase vests and wetsuits directly off the interwebs now if you’re that kind of shopper.

Other than almost every link opening in a new window (is this 1999?), and the fact that they spell wakeboard as wake board all over the place, it’s a solid site, and is a huge step up for the aviating vest manufacturer.

Cobian Sandals Steps Up Their Wake Team

Cobian Sandals

Cobian Sandals has upped their wake team with the addition of five well known riders. To their already established, if not minimal team, Cobian has added Mike Schwenne, Erik Lutgert, Austin Hair, Nick Jones and Alex Brown. That completes the team with established riders like Erik Lutgert, wakeskaters Austin Hair as well as those that are up and coming like Nick Jones.

Cobian is commited to making a big impression on the wake industry, and their latest round of additions to their pro team proves it. Does having an impressive team of wakeboarders really increase sales for a sandal manufacturer? Let us know what you think in the comments?
