Cool (free!) Wakeboarding wallpaper downloads.
by K on Mar.09, 2010, under Wakeboard Towers
Check out these great wallpapers from liquidforce. I’m likin’ this one in particular as it is just too wicked with the clean slate of rock behind him and then his board a blaze of color. They have eight or ten different wallpapers from you to choose from. All featuring their wakeboards I imagine. Download your own at http://www.liquidforce.com/downloads.html then dream right from your desk about riding behind your Samson Sports tower.
Ah…if only everything fit this well.

Introducing…drum roll please, our new Samson Sports mirror cover. It’s sleek, it’s fitted, and it protects your mirror. Has a great zipper enclosure in the back. Logo in the front. Retails for $55. Wicked cool.
Hitch Nutz. Just plain nutz? And our own hitch covers…
by K on Mar.04, 2010, under Wakeboard Towers
The other day I actually saw a set of those fantastically tacky hitch nutz. Check out www.yournutz.com to see what I mean. If you haven’t heard about these, trust me, you’ll laugh about them and then you will see them in real life and be floored. Personally I got to wondering about the person driving the vehicle. What does his Mama think of that? Will his girlfriend actually drive that truck or his the wife…? In some parts of the country lawmakers are actually trying to ban them. While certainly tacky, do we really need the government stepping in on that one? Whatever your take is on the nutz we thought we would take a little poll on what people have on their hitch during the off season. Do you have a cover? Check out my hitch cover. It might not get the audible gaffs of the hitch nutz but I think you will agree they are classy through and through. Show the wife the hitch nutz and then the Samson hitch cover and I am sure she will be QUITE happy to have you get the Samson cover. She’ll probably order it for you. 
Kids lifejackets – don’t skip out on reading this one, your kids are too important!

So, I picked up a new lifejacket for my child yesterday while the “new” factor makes it cool for him, I had some concerns that it is too big for him as he is just at that crossover weight between the last size and this new one. So… I did a little online research, came up with a great kids safety website (here: http://miniurl.org/YQD ) and pulled some tips for you as well. Proper fit and CARE is covered below. Yes, most of it is common sense but wouldn’t you rather be safe than sorry? For example, did you know the last bit about the exhaust fumes attacking the flotation’s foam?
Kids’ Lifejacket Safety
A proper fit means once it’s zippered and/or buckled, it should keep your head and upper shoulders above the water. If it fits too loose, the flotation will push the jacket up around your face. If your life jacket is too small, it won’t keep your body afloat. When not using your life jacket (when you’re not boating), store it in a readily accessible place away from sunlight and chemicals. Nylon and other synthetic materials used to make your life jacket will be harmed over time by ultra-violet radiation from the sun. Fabric that becomes discolored may indicate ultra-violet damage. In other words, don’t leave your PFD hanging outside all summer exposed to the sun and expect it to be unharmed. Also, prolonged exposure to chemicals or exhaust fumes can attack the flotation’s foam.
Who’s Ready for Bikini Season?

One of our favorite things about summer is of course bikini season. Snapped this shot down under. A gal was selling these right on the beach.
There is no such thing as too cold.
by K on Feb.21, 2010, under Wakeboard Towers
The NW isn’t exactly known for is warm weather in Feb. In fact we are known for our gray rainy days about this time of year. So when the sun comes out we are estatic and when it is 50+ degrees we are…
well…
on the lake.
Shawn White at 11 yrs old. An ode to the king of our cold weather cousin, snowboarding.
by K on Feb.18, 2010, under Wakeboard Towers
As an ode to our colder weather cousin, snowboarding, and the Olympics being held just north of us in Vancouver, B.C. I thought I would post this video of an 11 yr. old Shaun White. It isn’t so surprising that he’s has a handful of gold at this point. Even at an early age this guy obviously had talent.

At Samson, most of our advertising has been based on word of mouth. We have an outstanding product, it’s just that simple. Generally, we don’t do a lot of advertising. However, this monthwe would change things up a bit to introduce our new speakers so we have a huge full page ad running in Wakeboard Alliance Magazine this month (Feb). For those who haven’t seen it, I thought I would share. The ad itself is pretty cool and the speakers, they are UNBELIEVABLE with epic sound quality. They look pretty cool too if I don’t say so myself.
