ICAST 2017 Booths 3343 & 3443...

I can't wait to hear the news that come out of booths 3343 and 3443 at the ICAST 2017! Who knows, maybe someone in attendance will spill the beans (and maybe some photos) for our "Inquiring Minds"!

I'm awaiting news too so I can decide on a '17 Outback or wait for an '18. Updates from the show would be appreciated!

Any new model news will be presented at the new paddlesports show (Madison, Wis) in late August. Both ICAST and Outdoor retailer are too early this year.

Thanks for the info mmiller. Isn't it cool working for a company where you get to see grown men anxiously hover around waiting for new product news like they were young school kids at Christmas time and know they are waiting on products y'all produce?

Ha!

For those of us unable to attend ICAST 2017, here is a video that was posted on YouTube covering booths 3343 & 3443. They apparently did "beef up" the forward/reverse rubber cable a bit...

Fin and shifter updates shown in this clip are no charge via warranty if they fail.

We didn't display any new products at ICAST.

2018 introductions are being done at Surf Expo and a new show at the end of August Paddlesports Retailer in Madison WI.
