We Love Orlando!11/05/08   

There is only one place that can be called the watersports capital of the world and that is Orlando, Florida, our home town!

A zillion lakes, weather that allows nearly 365 days a year for watersports activities, many of the world’s top watersports athletes, the top coaches, the best ski and wakeboard schools, an incredible cable park, and the watersports retailer of the year — what more could we ask for in a home town?

For 84 years Correct Craft has had the opportunity to be based in this epicenter of the watersports industry. Our company has an incredible heritage in this community and we are proud that we still play an important role here today.

We are also happy to be represented in Orlando by an exceptional dealership, Nautiques of Orlando. This facility is run by a gentleman who has been one of the top Nautique sales leaders worldwide for much of the last 15 years, Jeff Husby. Jeff and his team at Nautiques of Orlando are experienced at taking care of our home town customers. I often run into people here in town who tell me what great service they have received from Jeff and his team.

If you live in the Orlando area, this weekend Nautiques of Orlando is having a huge open house with lots of things you would enjoy including some great deals on new Nautique boats. You can get more information on NOO and this event at their website http://www.orlandonautiques.com . I will be there at some point during the weekend as well as many others from our organization; if you live in the Orlando area I hope to see you there.

We are also fortunate to have some good friends in the industry located right here in Orlando. Two of those friends are Bill Porter and Rene Hoffman:

- Bill Porter and his team at Performance Ski and Surf are consistently voted watersports retailer of the year and we are proud to call them our friends. They use our Nautique boats for their wakeboard tour. Anything you need for wakeboarding, three event skiing or any other watersport can be found by visiting their store here in Orlando. http://www.perfski.com/

- Rene Hoffman and his Orlando Watersports Complex (OWC) have both become legendary in our business. If you are a watersports enthusiast and visit Central Florida you have to visit OWC. You can also take a lesson at OWC behind one of our Nautique boats, the only ones that have ever been used at OWC.

We know that many of the people who are serious about watersports eventually end up spending some time here in Orlando; and many of those people end up taking a tour of our facility. When visiting our home town, Orlando, we encourage everyone to take the time to visit us and take a tour; information is here on our website at http://www.nautiques.com/about/factorytour.

Our company is proud to be part of the Central Florida community for the past 84 years, trying to be a good neighbor and helping people enjoy an incredible lifestyle. We definitely benefit from being located in Orlando – the center of the watersports world. And the weather is not too bad either…

Enjoy the Nautique life!
