Re:

Do people actually buy boats based on who's on the "team"? cbcboat New

	Some team paddlers are in the boats because they helped design them. An example is the Green boat. Not only is it paddled by team paddlers but two helped work on it. Andrew and Pat helped with design input as well as even getting their hands dirty shaving plugs with Snowy. Also, the Nomad. Paddlers may have liked the idea because top paddlers were running gnar in them but they then found when they got in it they loved it too. Not only do our paddlers use it but several had input on that too. My guess is the same goes for LL boaters, Pyrhana, Wave Sport, etc... They may have a lot of paddlers use them because they are hooked in some way to the team but key players on their teams and ours contribute a lot to the final product/boat. hobie
