Sure, the water is getting a little colder and the days aren’t quite as long, but now is the best time of the year to save on wakeboarding gear. Many manufacturers only change the graphics on their boards from one year to the next, which makes picking up a new kit at the end of the season even more attractive.

Wakeside.com is going one step further by offering an additional 10% off closeout prices on any 2008 board and boot paired together. That means you can get package pricing on that Ronix One Wakeboard/One boot combo you’ve been eying. Or how does a Liquid Force Substance & Watson Boot Package for $336.50 sound?

If that’s got your attention, here’s what you need to know:

• Add any 2008 wakeboard and 2008 boot to your cart to be eligible for the discount.
• During checkout, enter the coupon PACKAGES to automatically receive the discount.

Danny Harf, the wonder boy from team Ronix has added another industry first to his long list of accomplishments; this time becoming the first rider ever to land a 1260. Armed with a monster wake and his Ronix DHV1 Wakeboard, Harf added another 180 degrees of rotation, for a full 3 and half spins.

In what was perhaps the best kept wakeboarding secret of all-time, Harf swore everyone that witnessed his historic move to secrecy to ensure no one would spill the beans before the Best of Wake Awards Ceremony this past weekend. The result of the successful ninja mission was a mind blowing unveiling that had more than a few riders (especially Rusty Malinoski, who believed he had the award cinched) visibly upset. Of course once the shock wore off, they were just as excited as Danny, showing how close the riders at the top are, even when pushing each other to land new moves.

Congratulations Danny, enjoy being the first rider in history to land a 1260; although someone will inevitably land a 1340, no one can take that away from you!
