start of the 2004 GOODE Water Ski National Championships in
Okeeheelee Park, West Palm Beach, Florida.
The competitors are preparing and great performances keep
coming in from all tournaments at the Local, State, Regional and
the World levels!
Thank you for choosing GOODE!

| NEW
9600 TO BE ANNOUNCED AT NATIONALS |
|
It is hard to keep a good thing a secret. GOODE's plan
is to "Officially" introduce its newest
tournament ski, the 9600, next week at the 2004 GOODE
Water Ski National Championships. With all of the
interest, advertising schedules and early great
performances, here is a sneak preview:
20% Lighter - You will notice the quicker edge change
and the faster acceleration.
New Flex/Torsion Ratio - Softer longitudinal and
stiffer torsional flex. You will create tighter turns
which leave you up course and early for the next buoy.
New Bevel Configuration - Straighter Side Edge Bevels
- You will make smoother turns; less apt to bite.
Wider Tail Tapering to the Tip - You will feel
increased stability and performance.
2 Extra Layers of Carbon Fiber - Added for additional
binding screw retention.
Altered Internal Carbon Laminates - The result is the
total "feel" of the ski.
New 9600 Graphics and Top Ribs - a new look.

| DAVE
GOODE WINS WITH NEW 9600 |
 |
| This
past weekend Dave Goode did something that he had not
done in 27 years skiing in the Midwest Regionals. He
won!
"Winning was a great feeling, however, what I
feel the best about is the performance of the new 9600.
I have worked very hard over the past year to develop
the 9600. It is the best ski that GOODE has ever
built.", Goode explains. "It was only my 4th
set on the ski and there is a lot more perfromance to be
unleashed.", he continues.
"I also felt very good watching 35 of the 38
Men's 4 skiers at the Midwest Regionals skiing on GOODE
Skis.", GOODE concludes.
