Or just shirts..

I don't get why people do that. What is the point?

I know people that ride with Jerseys. I think it looks kind of cool. I wouldnt want my shirt stiking to me though.

Jerseys over vest look cool.

But a shirt? Looks uncomfortable and annoying IYAM.

I need to worry about wakeboarding better before I start worrying about how I look. I don't even own a single basketball jersey.

I wear a t-shirt over my vest every once in a while, just for show and because I have been using the same life jacket for about 7 years so it's pretty beat up but I still love it.

There is no point what so ever though, other than for looks.

The jersey thing is a copy of snowboarders who have been doing it for a while.

To me, it's trying too hard. Let your riding style speak for itself.

With our flashy boats, blaring music, and over the top style, this is just one more step into d-bag territory as a sport.

It just reminds me of the fat kid at the pool that wears a shirt because he is afraid of kids making fun of his fatness.

Most magazines/sites won't publish riders without a vest because the USCG tells them it is illegal and other people complain. So the shirt over the "vest" was born, although it is just a shirt and no vest.

Not sure about shirt over vest.

Wakebrad, exactly. Don't turn wakeboarding into rollerblading.

People just do it for style points. Personally it doesn't make much sense but I guess if you are absolutely shredding on the cable and want to stick out, it helps.

Long hair, rashguards, and pencil holder are where it's at.

Worry about yourself...Who gives a F what others wear. You are just as ridiculous as the kid wearing an XXL cookie monster shirt over his CGA vest. Laughing

MasonH, You post a valid question.

I'm just talking in general. You can't control what others do so don't worry about it. Wear a jersey, tshirt, a pair of pants or even some jorts.

Just don't wear ski gloves please Wink

Wakeboarder3780, If I was talking to you personally I would have highlighted your name, like I just did.

ryan351w, That vest makes me laugh.

haha i have thought of wearing a polo or some other dumb shirt before. I laughed when i saw that vest too. I have been known to rock a jersey but it was just cause we were out with friends messing around.

I think there is a difference between the shredtown crew wearing t's and tanks and a kid a tourney i saw wearing under armor, vest, t shirt, and bandana (he sucked too). it comes down to what do you spend more time doing: riding in what you think is comfortable or trying to accesorize to look cool? good style is when you dont look like youre trying too hard, whether it be your effortless tricks or what you wear.

It really needs to warm up, some serious PMS'ing going on around here.

There are 24,000 people on this board and most people use the same screen name for the other forums they frequent. I personally think it would be cool to rep your screen name when riding. I remember a lot of the names on here and it would be a good way to stop by and say hey.

Se7en, Oh yeah. I'm getting bored and impatient man.
