Here at Alliance we like to party. It's pretty simple, really. And you know what the Holiday Season means for most office workers around the world: great party opportunities. Obviously, we took advantage. A "mandatory meeting" notice was sent out to all Alliance employees and friends in the greater San Diego area to come to the Alliance offices and have some serious fun. We were joined by friends from companies like Liquid Force, Gator Boards, our HR neighbors and a group of interior designers. The cheer flowed, many high-5's were struck, and a good time was had by all. From there, dinner and a lavish dance party followed. Unfortunately, no evidence of said dance party seems to exist. But truth be told, it was probably one of the best ever in the history of holiday parties.

We had a great time with friends and family, and hope your holiday season was filled with the same. 2007 was an incredible year for wakeboarding and wakeskating, not to mention all of us at Alliance. Much of that is due to the dedication and support of all of you. While nobody can predict the future, we're going to go out on a limb and say that 2008 will be even better. And we're still going to party. Stay tuned…
