Funny Survey...

[thrllskr]

First off, I was asked TWICE on Saturday "how fast do they go" by different people.

Secondly, marketing would definitely help to sell more standups but the ROI isn't going to be as good as it is for couches. For every $100K they spend, they will sell more couches than they would standups.

I don't blame it on laziness. I am far from lazy but I had no interested in standups when I got my first ski. I even watched a guy at my local lake on a superjet doing subs and attempting backflips. I was like, "cool," but I don't want one of those. I want a FAST one!

It took me a little while to get bored of the speed and to realize what real fun is. You'd need a heck of a marketing campaign to get that point across. I work in marketing - and I wouldn't take on the challenge. It's too hard of a sell.

So, I'm getting gas at a local Chevron and this guy pulls up next to me to gas up his XL760 and starts up a conversation:

Him: "That's a good-looking ski you've got; how fast does it go???"

Me: "Oh, it's not real fast, probably about the same as yours..."

Him: "That thing will do 65???!!!???" :bigeyes:

Me: :haha:

Everyone likes the water cannon. I had just met a few people with a 3-seater at the lake, we were chatting for a while. I was out when they were loading up. I hopped on the front of my ski, subbed it and soaked their ski on the trailer 40' away. They loved it!

I get asked: "Are they hard to ride"?, I just tell them, No, Just keepin it running and a constant cash flow going into it is tough enough, ridin part is the reward..
