Purchasing Watersports Equipment at a Boat Show

Written by Timmy McNamee | February 22, 2013

It’s that time of year again! Various boat shows happening all over the Nation.. Everyone seems to be getting itchy for some warmth and sun, and would give anything to be anywhere they can to be surrounded with summer memories! For the avid boat and water junkie the local Boat Show can be just the place.. Whether you attend boat shows to specifically search for that perfect boat, or simply get your “fix” of beauty, attending shows is a great time to seize more opportunities than the obvious!

Another fantastic benefit of boat shows is the opportunity of purchasing new watersports equipment, especially if your main reason of attending is to buy a new “sport” boat for the family! Marinas who deal watersports boats usually also have a selection of discounted equipment in their booth as well, and due to the main focus being on boats, the equipment easily goes unnoticed.. This is definitely one of the BEST times to get some awesome new gear! From waterskis, wakeboards, life vests, apparel, wakesurfs, wakeskates, and paddleboards you’re sure to find it ALL at a boat show! If you are new to watersports we ecommend speaking to a knowledgeable representative from the booth that can help you find what you may be looking for or interested in.  To ensure full safety, be sure you ask them the proper size of equipment to purchase as a lot of it varies for rider height and weight. It may also be a good idea to shop around from booth to booth to see different selections and get more than one opinion. Equipment comes is all different shapes, colors, and sizes! Have fun, and enjoy the shows!
