La Sewer - Online Mag

La Sewer is an online wakeskate mag like the Alliance wakeskate issue but to me it's a completly different approach. Take a look here and build your own opinion. For the Surf Expo 2007 they printed a real paper promo issue. The first hardcopy issue should be out in January 2008.
They don't have a fancy forum on their homepage for you to express your opinion but you can go to La Sewer's myspace and tell them how much you hate or love La Sewer.

Not What Cha' Think - Video Teaser

Here the facts about Not What Cha'Think video from Oregon Trail Trash (O.T.T.) Productions:

1. This will officially be the longest wakeskate movie ever made to date. The past few days I have been going through footage with Zak and as it looks right now the movie will be about an hour long! Although nothing is official till the final draft. I believe it came to something like 1800 GByte of footage that was actually logged!

2. This is not going to be your typical wakeskate movie, not all of the riders have full parts but there is footage of over 20 different riders from all over! I'll make a little list just for fun to give you an idea of how much is going to go into this movie, If I leave your name out or spell your name wrong please forgive me, this is what I can pull off the top of my head.

Alliance wakeskatemag 3.4 out

Finally there's and end to the long wait. AllianceWake just published their 3.4 online wakeskate magazine. So stop by alliancewake.com and enjoy!!!

Integrity builds own factory

Erich Schmaltz, mastermind behind Integrity-Wake, just released some info about the “Daedalus project” on wakeskating.com. This project, he said, is the culmination of his life's lessons and the experience he’s gathered being involved in the wake/action sports industry for almost 22 years: The best is to only rely only upon oneself.
Being dependent on suppliers in the past, Erich was forced to postpone ship dates on skates every three weeks for four to five months straight. With such thing having happened and the great danger of losing his reputation for being a reliable board manufacturer and one of the true souls of wakeskating, there was hardly another option than to build a factory on his own (the pic on top shows the view from the factory's location onto the adjacent lake). He luckily could join forces with a like-minded investor that has made similar experiences. Best chances now that the beliefs and ideals of Erich and many other wakeskaters will finaly emerge, rise and spread.
The factory itself will be as transparent as possible with doors being open to fellow wakeskaters to stop by, share some thoughts and see how it’s done.
We are all very anxious to see what integrity will come up with in the near future and I can hardly wait to stop by when I’m in the US this autumn.
If you like to read everything that Erich posted please continue reading the thread at ws.com. If you want to be kept updated with info about Integ and everything else stop by here from time to time or visit wakeskating.com
