No reason why we get the boats early, just our summer is coming and everyone is getting new boats, yours is ending and everyone wont think about ordering till the new season.
We also get all the new wake/ski gear for the same reason. The other is that our market is smaller than the U.S but very simular in buying trends. The board companies will only make limited runs of each and use us to test all the products and see what sells well. Anything that needs changing in the production process will be done before they order there U.S runs. For example when the new LF F.A.S.T binding bases came out they were shocking, They would spin whislt riding or during a fall. For the U.S market they thickened the rubber on the base and stopped the problem, LF oz had no problem exchanging the modifyed plates to previous buyers.
