 FUEL TV learned today of an interesting Christmas promotion Malibu Boats is running that is vaguely reminiscent of the annual Lexus "December to Remember" sales event. This is somehow less offputting and more compelling than the Lexus program. Also we'd rather own a Malibu than a Lexus - so there's that.Participating dealers nationwide are cele...

 Vindicated.  Happy.  That's how wakeskaters worldwide should feel today after Nautique announced that wakeskating will be added as a new discipline at  the 51st Masters Water Ski & Wakeboard Tournament.

Liquid Force has decided to sell their 2003 Ford BROstock Van Bus! If you're in the market, this is a neat piece of history and has proven to be a true work horse for Liquid Force at events - particularly the one from which it gets its namesake - BROstock. A powerful V10 Turbo Diesel lurks under the hood, so we at FUEL TV presume that this BR...

 Company made the news a couple of times recently, as any new board company wants to do.  They've been building a strong team as the months go by, and by the time the 2010 Tour season has kicked off, you'll be hearing & seeing more about Company and their team than ever before.  For example, recently FUEL TV announced that they added an exce...

Today Nautique announced the criteria they use to decide who gets to go to Masters.  It is an invitation-only wakeboard & water-ski tournament. As such, invitations are issued at the sole discretion of the Masters Tournament Committee. The subtext here is that they use some very specific and proven methods to choose who comes and who does ...

 We like Epic Wake boats - and we like Adam Fields' riding abilities.  As for the announcement made - we like its purpose.  For a boat manufacturer to come out and formally congratulate an athlete like this, it shows maturity and very good intentions.  Does it need to be rewritten? Perhaps.  Is it FUEL TV's right to rewrite it?  No. Did we have ...

 Australia is an amazing place, and a country/continent that many have on their bucket list.  When FUEL TV learned of the details of this tour, we instantly wished to be granted 2 weeks' vacation and a trip to Younghusband, SA, Australia where this tour kicks off. Since that is not happening, we are vicariously excited for the folks in Australia...

 FUEL TV  has ascertained the details on the 2010 Liquid Force Soven Binding!This boot employs closed toe technology, much like the other Liquid Force signature boots.  A reported benefit of a closed toe design is better control over one's board. This is dependent upon the rider's style.  The closed toe design certianly suits Soven's style and t...

 Tonight on The Daily Habit, the Keep A Breast foundation is showing their busom buddy. It’s a special one, too. The lovely Corrin Caldwell from L*Space was kind enough to loan her chest for casting, and The Daily Habit host Pat Parnell donated his artistic ability for a one-of-a-kind auction item. “As someone with a sister that is ...

FUEL TV has been watching the collegiate wakeboarding scene for a long time.  There is quite a bit of crossover, actually, between the pro scene and the collegiate scene.  Obviously Florida and California schools get the edge quite often in contests like this but this has been a break out year for schools from all over the south! So, two weekend...

 Note: The problem with event announcements like this is the fact that some sports just get left out.  Do you notice the one that's missing, despite the title of the event?  Yes - that's the one.  Wakeboarding is a huge part of this tour, this event, and the general health of this event.  We're not saying that the event would flop if it weren't ...
