Question about Company Wakeboards

I was just wondering if any one knows what happened to Company Wakeboards. Did they go out of business? All of their product has been taken off many dealer sites and if they do have product its very limited stuff from 2010.

I'm just confused because on Ben Christensen's facebook profile he has pictures of the Company team on what look to be like new 2011 boards.

Also another question, has anyone had any experience on a 2010 Slingshot Recoil? Found a really great deal on one and might pick it up.

I'm afraid they're done. Nothing's been officially confirmed yet, though. Afaik...

What does this mean for the Vandall himself?

We were a dealer for Company wake at boardstop.com. I have never received any official word on the status of the company from them but I have heard from others. Sad to say that you will not be seeing more product from them. They had some great ideas and put together a good team.

Anyone know what Nicola Butler is riding on the tour these days? As for Vandall I am not sure what he is riding.

Where would you see Vandall fitting in? Team Ronix, Team Hyperlite, Team Liquid? I do not know who has a budget available for him and who would welcome him aboard. Has he ever ridden under the Archer brands? Will he join his fellow Gator teammate over at Phalanx Wake?

I don't know much about how the wakeboard industry works, but Randall seems to have been riding on the fringe of the industry in recent years. I'd be a bit surprised to see him with a major brand like CWB, LF, Ronix, or Hyperlite. But who knows?

Do we know for sure if they are completely done, or just done in the states? The reason I ask is because I rode Gator boards and boots for the past couple of years and when waiting on then to replace a pair of bindings for me through their warranty process I basically found out they are done selling in the States (only vendor they have left is The House) and are basically focusing solely on selling in Asia. Don't know any background on Company, but this scenario seemed like a plausible possibility for them.

Nicola was riding a Witness, painted all black (no logos, no nothing). Could be she'll be signed by LF, or she just likes the board and doesn't have anything going yet.

That's a bummer, I really liked the product they were coming out with. I would definitely like to see Vandall sign with one of the major brands, but you're right who knows..
