After experiencing toe and heel drag for my entire snowboarding career... I have finally discovered the "Widest Snowboard on Earth"!

I have size 15 boots, so toe and heel drag has driven me crazy for years. I'm not sure what took me so long, but a quick google search for "what is the widest snowboard made" yielded me results that directed me toward Elan's El Grande. I have a feeling my next snowboard purchase is rapidly approaching... and the Elan El Grande is at the top of the list.

Anyone have any experience with Elan boards?

In my latest push for the growth of my website business, I have continued to add athletes to the Webitdesigns Pro Team. My concentration has been in the niche market of Professional Skiers and Professional Snowboarders. I stumbled upon the idea by mistake and have developed it into a full-blown marketing and promotion arm of the company. What better way to get the name out there and in front of people, than to work on professional athlete websites and post the webitdesigns logo on their sponsor page?!

Recently, I have noticed that many professional athletes have already created sites (usually WordPress blogs). I decided that instead of offering re-designs of their sites, I would offer them maintentance and upgrade design work. Most of the athletes I have approached with this idea are very responsive to the idea. They usually have all of their content dialed in, but want to add features, clean up headers/footers, add banner ads, add flash galleries/slideshows, etc.

In addition to the maintenance and customization of blogs, I have been fine tuning the Webitdesigns athletes websites Search Engine Optimization. Part of what I am offering these athletes is the expansion of their online presence and helping to promote their "brand". If I can help them increase website traffic, then the Webitdesigns pro team will be able to leverage their traffic numbers when working on sponsorship deals with manufacturers.

The most recent athletes to be brought onto the Webitdesigns Pro Team are: Jamey Parks and Shaun Raskin. Both are professional skiers who have wordpress sites... and are looking for some fine tuning on their sites.

Please keep checking the Sponsored Athlete page on Webitdesigns for new members to the pro team.

I love to see new progressive sports take flight! Wave skiing looks super dope!
