Default Boat rental/testing

Does anyone know if its possible to rent/demo a Wakeboard boat in the UK
We've put on a few fun/demo comps to get people interested in riding but don't feel we're doing the sport justice using a Ski boat with a little weight in it! Plus we want to convince our club to buy one..... :?:

Have you tried approaching the importers, or do you know someone who has one and you can use it as part of the demo to not only demo the sport but the right equipment for the job.

Give Brian Buchanan a ring on 01753 581158 and speak to him, (TV SKI) they are the Correct Craft Importers and are very very helpful, generally will do what they can to help, although this is a busy time of the year for boat companies, it is definately worth a phone call

Cheers,
I am interested in maybe getting the Tige riders edition or maybe Toyota or something to our lake, something a little different to the Air/X options...
Maybe the importers would benefit a little more/need the exposure?
I rode behind Cathy Williams Tige last summer, it was cool.

Well I doubt if you can get a Toyota in this country but certainly the Tige boats are cheap i can't say anything about the reliability as they are only generally become availble more recently.

You do see more Nautiques/Mastercrafts though so you can figure out what it will look like/run like when you have had it for 5 years.

Select your target and .....shoot.

best of luck

Tige are doing several demos this year so you could try Midland Marine (linked from Wakeboard UK) who are the official importers.
