Some Wilderness Systems banter - 2009

[dcbz]

I hope that Wilderness Systems does not drastically change their designs, but I do wish that they would update their website. I visited their website today and they do not have any photos of their yaks with the new hatches! I only learned of their updates by visiting this website. Hmm....



MOD EDIT: I split this post from the 2008 Thread it was attached too...

Wildy had some nice redesigns for 2009 and the original thread title and topic were thus a little misleading.... FWIW - Bird

Don't worry dcbz, the thread you are replying to is from Jan 2008. things are better now in Feb 2009.

sorry I just couldn't help myself.

Yeah, I realized that the thread was a year old, but I was really making a point about their website...it still is not updated to reflect the latest changes that they have made to their boats.

Thanks for the link Slowride. Looks like we have a few more months for an updated WS website.

I hadn't even looked at the site in a very long time.

It looks like the site will be updated in March. http://paddlesportsportal.com/wildynews ... ming-soon/

They might need to get a serious webmaster upgrade. Manufacturer websites / web forums are a valuable customer interface for most outdoor sports industries. Perhaps they are just waiting to get some new products finalized.

WS is falling behind big time. Their only new boat, The Ride , was a big disappointment IMHO. Perception nailed the fishing kayak with their Search line

I might be wrong on this, but I think Confluence owns both Wilderness Systems and Perception.
