Real Salt Lake vs. San Jose

We spent another exciting Saturday at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City. The San Jose Quakes were in town to face Real Salt Lake. Our booth at Carnival Real is getting better and better each game. This week participants were kicking a soccer ball into a tube in hopes of winning a t-shirt or a wakeboard. We gave away plenty of t-shirts, but the wakeboard remained a resident of our pro shop... for now. In our booth we also had sign ups for MasterCraft's "Ride of a Lifetime" sweepstakes and Coleman's "Boat Load" sweepstakes. People were really excited to be signing up for a chance to win a week of snowboarding and wakeboarding with the MasterCraft and Oakley pro teams as well as signing up to win a brand new MasterCraft CSX full of Coleman camping gear. Here are a few photos from the game:

The kids make this look easy.

This time we brought the head-turning 40th Anniversary Edition X Star.

Real Salt Lake Home Opener - March 29, 2008

Today was the home opener for Salt Lake City's professional soccer team, Real Salt Lake. This year we are one of their main sponsors, so of course we had to tow a few of our boats to the stadium to make our presence known. Here are a few photos from the event:

Utah Boat Show - Feb. 20-24, 2008

We spent this past weekend at the annual Utah Boat Show. It turned out to be a great show all around. We had 21 boats (including our 40th Anniversary X-Star), 3 movie screens and a few pro wakeboarders in our booth. (View current MC/UWS Inventory HERE)



We sponsored the wake park this year, which was a great success. Not only were we able to have some of our pro shop sponsored riders hit the rail, we watched in awe as MasterCraft team riders Andrew Adkison and Shane Bonifay showed off their skills.

Our 4oth Anniversary X-Star.

The X-80 STS... Heavy surf is an understatement.

This kid won our Guitar Hero competition. Not only did he score nearly 300,000 points on expert level "Cliffs of Dover" but just to show off his skills scored nearly 600,000 points on the most difficult song on the game. Thanks to O'brien Wakeboards and Straight Line for providing the grand prize.
