    GFH Boards Signs Wakeboard Great, Shane Bonifay

    GFH Skateboards is proud to announce the newest addition to their list of professional athletes. On Monday, March 24 Shane Bonifay came on board with GFH boards to make for a great addition to the current professional line-up. Shane is the first professional wakeboarder on the payroll and who better to start out with than one of the best in the world. GFH Boards and Bonifay will be working together on a signature pro model skateboard due out in the next couple of months. GFH Boards has made it a top priority to work with wake and boat shops to cater to a market that historically grew up riding skateboards. It is a natural progression for GFH to enter into the water sports industry considering the vast majority of wake boarders and wake skate athletes ride skateboards on a daily basis. GFH Boards specializes in small retro cruiser skates perfect for travel and to kill time at competitions or that ever important beer run. GFH owner Garrett Hurley and team manager Tim Hoover have been on the look-out for an athlete within the water sports industry that fits the company and Shane Bonifay is a perfect match.

    Advertising and information are increasingly web design services hard to distinguish from each other. “The borders between advertising and media …. become more and more blurred…. What August Fischer, chairman of the board of Axel Springer publishing company considers to be a ‘proven partnership between the media wireless internet providers and advertising business’ critics regard as nothing but the infiltration of journalistic duties and freedoms”. According to RTL-executive Helmut Thoma “private stations shall not and cannot serve any mission but only the goal of the company which is the ‘acceptance by the advertising business and the viewer’. The setting of priorities in this order actually says everything about the ‘design of the programmes’ by private television.”[52] Patrick Le Lay, former managing director of TF1, a private French television channel with a market share of 25 to 35%, said: There are many ways to talk about television. But from the internet service providers business point of view, let’s be realistic: basically, the job of TF1 is, e. g. to help Coca Cola sell its product. (…) For an advertising message to be perceived the brain of the viewer must be at our disposal. The job of our programmes is to make it available, that is to say, to distract it, to relax it and get it ready between two messages. It is disposable human brain time that we sell data recovery to Coca Cola.
