| 10012 | 132 | Tyler Mini Zeke | 63 | creoque? | Jul 26, 2007 | 2007-07-26T11:26:00-0400 | No one is disputing that those surfboards are a lot of money. What is under dispute is the misconception that all of that money is profit. That the craftsmen of our generation are consistently shaping 10 boards a week, or whatever other fictitious figures were posted (200 boards a year :?) and making 2000 a board or even half of that per board....I think that a lot of people (I will include myself) just feel miffed if for no other reason that a "label"...(or rather "lable") board is just that......that the cost is not justified.......Yeah everyone know that's a lot of money....but don't trash it...or put it into some sort of negative "oh it's just a label" like it's some yuppie thing or whatever.............. Also, fictitious factoids and cost / profit analysis of the burgeoning U.S. of A surfboard industry bothers people...b/c it is just hot air.....and not even nice Santa Ana's or nothin' As has been said MULTIPLE times on this forum....if you don't want to pay 2000 for a board.....you don't have to. Welcome to freedom and a free market economy.......:dude: WHeeeeeeewwww I feel a fishin' session coming on |
