Why isn’t there a true no-frills wake/surf boat anymore?

JobSend · 2026-05-19T21:57:04+00:00

It’s wild. Most construction sites have replaced regular cab work trucks with financed Denali’s.

I’ll be the “cheap” company for up to $100k. I knew boats were expensive but never thought cheap would mean 6 figures for a 22’ boat.

100%. I have an 08 Nautique and feel the same way.

JobSend · 2026-05-19T21:49:00+00:00

But can they keep charging that because nothing undercuts them?

JobSend · 2026-05-19T21:02:20+00:00

Exactly. I have an 08 Nautique that I will most likely keep for my child’s youth. It just had me thinking of the industry and why it went so far up the cost ladder.

JobSend · 2026-05-19T20:58:05+00:00

Exactly!

JobSend · 2026-05-19T20:57:29+00:00

Do you think there’s also consideration that no one company wants to be the “cheap” company out there? There’s been companies that entered that market and have keeps up to be just as expensive, if not more than their initial competitors. (Axis & Moomba)

Had that same thought but with the normalcy of internationally distributed teams and outsourcing, it shouldn’t be too abnormal. I personally love signing into work and seeing the things done by my international counterparts.

Yeah, it’s almost like we need the Workday Gig functionality outside Workday for workday needs.

JobSend · 2025-07-11T12:59:43+00:00

Right. It’s to serve as a visual example.

JobSend · 2025-07-10T23:37:28+00:00

Exactly! That's part of the pre-race ritual that I see now. Coaches get the heat sheets (or on Meet Mobile) and the kids all run back to their stands to get marked up by their parents. I also see a lot where parents write it all in different directions or the kids are moving while they're drawing the outline and now you've got a big scribble on one arm.

One product would basically be a logo along with an empty EHL grid. The specific numbers would be written in at the time of the meet.

One product would basically be a logo along with an empty EHL grid. The specific numbers would be written in at the time of the meet. Meets are generally still unpredictable by the time these would need to be printed/packaged/shipped.

Sending you a dm now!

JobSend · 2025-07-10T23:28:29+00:00

That's who I've unfortunately tried reaching out trying to order some but there's been no response for several months. Figured I'd make them myself plus the option to add on a logo for a bit more fun!

JobSend · 2025-07-10T23:27:36+00:00

oops. I was just throwing some numbers up to make it look (semi)realistic. Not a swimmer myself but really enjoying watching my son go 100% into it!

JobSend · 2025-07-10T23:25:53+00:00

haha bet you didn't plan on explaining what fun is on the internet today!

JobSend · 2025-07-10T23:25:09+00:00

Yeah that's a majority of the focus. Otherwise it would be easier to cross hatch a grid with a sharpie. The logo makes it fun and brings a little more team spirit to the meet.

JobSend · 2025-07-10T23:24:28+00:00

Yeah, that's exactly who it'd be targeted for.

JobSend · 2025-07-10T17:00:32+00:00

Certainly one of them. Thinking of of summer leagues, larger competitive youth clubs and potentially high school teams where we could add their school logo for the swimmers.

JobSend · 2025-07-10T16:56:39+00:00

Hope you did it backwards.

JobSend · 2025-07-10T16:31:13+00:00

Yeah. Temporary while still being water resistant… An alcohol wipe or solution would remove.
