Consider a boater. Life jackets, like seat belts, nearby are easy to put on but not easy enough when something goes wrong. During a split second car accident, it's impossible to click your seatbelt. How do you think you'll fare reaching for a life jacket during a boating mishap? Just like seat belts in cars, life jackets on boats save lives—but only when they're worn. Buckle up, boaters.

We're skiers, but that doesn't mean we don't like trying new things - especially when we can do them behind our ski boats. We met up with five avid skiers who decided to give wake foiling a go (with the help of Slingshot Wake pro rider Louis Floyd), and one thing was for certain, there were lots of smiles. Adding a wake foil to your boat is great because it doesn't require a giant wake - just a steady pull - and it offers a feeling unlike any other on the water.

A group of die-hard slaloms skiers take on the world of wake foiling - and learn a whole new way to use their ski boats.

How about sending it into the weekend with a to the craziness that was Cypress Gardens photo shoots and stunts?
This pic from the early 80s features the one and only Scott Clack getting pulled off the ramp by one of the MasterCraft Boat Company Stars & Stripes jump boats. Swipe over for a behind-the-scenes look at the shoot. While we’d like to see this recreated today, we have a feeling there are a few too many legal loopholes to navigate... 😂

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of David Goode's death. The namesake behind the iconic GOODE Skis, and a pioneer in water skiing, tragically passed while piloting his plane near his home in Ogden, Utah. Our condolences go out to his family and friends. We lost a legend, but we're forever thankful for his countless contributions to the sports we love and know that through those his legacy will last forever.
