Ball of Spray snubbed by Waterski Magazine!

Received my WSM yesterday, there's an article giving an overview of various online waterski forums - no BOS!?  /vanillaforum/js/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cool.gif

Yea whatever. I have had so much darn ink in WSM in the last few years that I think everyone is sick of me.

I bet that if you send an email to whoever wrote the article they will publish something in the near future.

WSM has a history of not doing their research too well for articles such as that one.  You're not alone John, about 3 - 4 years ago they did a similar article on "all of the commercial slalom course builders", of course they left EZ-Slalom out despite the fact that we were and are the second largest comercial producer of slalom course systems on the planet.

I sent them a rather terse letter pointing out that fact.  Ronni Barton was an associate editor at the time, to her credit she called me personally and apologized for the oversight, admitting that they'd written the piece in a rush and didn't research it much.  Considering the fact that we'd been running an ad in their mag for several years at that point I'd say that was an understatement.

To make up for the oversight about 3 issues later we got a 2 sentence mention in the "Shortlines" section, which is the smallest print in the magazine.  Maybe you need to spend a bunch on expensive advertising to get their attention?

First of all I think Todd does a pretty good job. He has the most thankless job in the sport.

I looked and I do not see the artical that I am not in. What issue - what page?

[ScarletArrow]

I think it's page 27(?) of the issue where Glenn Campbell is on the cover with his SS...I just got it 2 days ago.  No big deal for me, I just thought that BOS was an obvious omission.

Yea I do not care. They even got the URL for SkiFly wrong.  Just keep helping make BOS the best on the net and they will find us.
