Still waiting to see last years Island House!

I can't imagine the race was bringing in much, if any, income to the resort. I'd guess that whoever was footing the bill probably decided to spend that money on something else.

I never felt IH was anything more than a glorified exhibition to showoff someone's money. And maybe that was all the goal the whole time, and comparing it to say a format like Super League is unfair. But SL is branding itself for atleast long term development/pipeline. They seem to understand that by investing in the athlete success they are creating a really strong and successful format/brand themselves. They seem to be much much more engaging overall, and again that just may be because IH probaly was just a tax write-off for 1 billionaire for a few years and SL seems to just be better investment for another billionaire.

I always felt IH was just some rich dude letting the elite pros play in his sandbox. It really had no enduring quality, even though it had what the best athletes both short and long....never felt "genuine" if that makes sense.

Yea I agree. I never felt like IH was intended to be a long term event. I don’t see how it could be profitable without TV advertising dollars. It seemed like it was an ad for the resort packaged in a triathlon. Which is fine. Just now a long term thing I don’t think.

Selfishly, I want the McKenzie family laser focused on Wyn Republic cuz their stuff is LEGIT. Every time they come out with new kit my money disappears 😃

What pissed me off about IH was they promoted the race for weeks in the lead up to it, got you all excited.

Then there was no way of watching the race until a couple of month after.

Last years as far as I'm aware still hasn't been uploaded anywhere.

It would be nice to see Super League take over the venue and broadcast it for some (small) revenue.

I curious as to why Jorgensen has Island House gear on almost every vlog.

The Island House is still a place, so I am guessing that the owner is still sponsoring her.

Looks sweet!
