  1. All good info.  I just saved that file and this page for future reference when we get to that point.  We're getting requests from Canada and around the Carribean/Central America so far, but no Australia yet.  Thanks for that!

    I've got some good friends from Australia, Canberra area, that were just here visiting in the states.  They just left Tuesday to head back home.  


    On another note, we setup a new dealer in South Carolina today with their first 5 units!  It's fun to be building something new after 19 years of doing the same thing.  Race car stuff was a fun business, but I've always like making the baby more than I liked changing the diapers, ya know?  😉

  2. Some very good information here regarding Australia.  I'm curious, is this primarily an Australian forum?   It may be a little while before we're shipping anything that far, and we may have to adpat the product for regulations there if/when that time comes.  We're just getting started, and we have shipped outside the US (once), but haven't shipped to Australia yet.  Though we do intend to take advantage of the treaty with the US regarding international patents, extending our patent to Australia and other countries.  Here in the US we have different regulations and requirements, and a significant amount of our efforts bringing this to market were to ensure we stayed inside those lines, including consulting with Intertek, a National Research Testing Laboratory (NRTL).  Here in the US the placarding requirement is a function of HAZMAT regulations, and only come into effect above 119 gallons, where a HAZMAT registration by the end user, and placarding for hazardous materials, comes into play.  

    Thanks for the info!!!

  3. Thanks @FlyBoy1960!  

    We certainly didn't do it halfway, I don't get accused of that often ;).  This thing will go places most wouldn't need it to, but I only build things one way....  overbuilt.  
     

    Here are two world champion (one 4x former, and one current) wakesurfers putting one to use down in Florida:



    If anyone is interested, there's a blog series on it from concept to concept to refinement.  I'll be writing another entry at some point on bringing it to final product, but the series as it is goes most of the way there.

    We're shipping them all over the country fairly regularly, 5 going up to South Carolina tomorrow actually.

    And we're looking for dealers as well (that's what we're bringing these up to tomorrow, a new dealer that runs a boat dock business)
