Bummer. Hopefully another publisher will buy those magazine brands. I just renewed my Wakeboarder magazine subscription for 5 years several months ago; sounds like I'm out of luck.

Times sure have changed.. I remember the days of anticipating the arrival of the latest issue and going through it front to back. Also I remember a time when I moved and brought my boat to the new house and my new neighbor came over to introduce himself and he happened the editor of wakeboard magazine. Needless to say we got along great! Good times and good memories for sure.

Hard to compete with the internet....

That's too bad and a sign of the times but let's be honest, the content the last few years was garbage anyways.

Dang. It really seemed like last year was strong for wakeboarding mag too. I thought the content was better than the five years prior and the mag had gotten thicker again.

Yes I would agree. I only look at the pictures anyway. I never read the articles because nothing much of any meaning

After probably 25 years of subscribing I finally got tired of the constant same guys selling the same stuff and in print being promoted as legends/godfathers of the sport. It looked like my facebook page! You cannot deny the impact of forums like this and YouTube for more up to date and relevant information. Also, the print seemed to get smaller every 5 years...go figure.

Don't blame them. I haven't subscribed for at least 5 years, terrible content.

I guess we will be in a long line to get our unused subscription funds reimbursed hopefully in my lifetime?

I agree that the content wasn't very good. The boat buyer's guide read like a manufacturer's brochure. No objective content. No one wanted to offend their biggest advertisers.

[CHassmann]

I have to agree that the content in recent years was weak and redundant, while the photography was still pretty decent. Even at that, I still looked forward to each issue.

Maybe, maybe not. I all of a sudden started receiving Popular Science. Eventually figured out that Popular Photography shut down and they are filling the subscription commitment with PS. Don’t mind it as much because I don’t mind PS (though I will not be continuing any subscription) but I do not like that they did not give me the option of a refund.

I cant even remember the last time i bought a magazine . The only time I read them is waiting at the doctor ,dentist or hair.

Perhaps I need to invent at toilet paper holder with a usb port on the side.
