Skate'n'Slide Volume 3 canceled

Here the latest infos from Patrick (Neverride, UGP Swiss) about the Skate'n'Slide in Zurich, Switzerland July 19th 2008:

Unfortunately it is not possible to realize a Skate'n'Slide in 2008. The searching of sponsors for the event was unsuccessfully, because it looks like Footballaballa is even more interesting then wakeskating, wakeboarding or skateboarding...
Is the Football-Fever out, it is already to late. With a heavy heart we have to advise that Skate'n'Slide Vol. 3 is cancelled for this year.

For all non European reader, the European championships in soccer was in Switzerland and Austria this year. We hope Skate'n'Slide is back 2009. All information from Skate'n'Slide homepage.

ERA Wakeskates

There is a new company at the wakeskate market. ERA is a company with a very different approach: no big team, no big commercials, no big online site, only wakeskates in length 39",40",41",42" for a nice price made by a skateboard company. The shape of the wakeskates looks like a classic one some years ago. Here are some information from ERA wakeskates:

Era Wakeskates are made in Oregon. With 8 plys of Oak and Douglas Fir makes this board 100% made in America and the strongest wood wakeskates on the market. All other wakeskate company's use Maple wood, we use Oak wood which is 15-25% stronger than Maple. Era wakeskates are 3D concaved with a 3 stage rocker, and variable edges. Marine grade clear coat for ultimate weather protection. All boards are gripped with Jessup grip tape. All boards are solid color with custom graphic printed on a HDPE plastic bottom. HDPE plastic is the most durable and bullet proof plastic available. Boards are direct from the manufacture so the savings are passed onto you!
