A sales rep for Liquid Force and O'brien has told Wakeboarder.com that things are looking better for the recently shut-down board companies.
Short-term funding has been received so that both companies have small crews shipping out products from the factory and to keep things running until a new buyer takes over. Supposedly a deal is in the works for a new buyer, and we should see an official announcement in the next few weeks if everything falls through as planned.
