Click to expand... What's the point of owning a board that you don't/can't ride? Click to expand... Hey, I hear y'all. A board is for riding, no matter how beautiful. I know resin tints and colors have been around for a long time and, if you go to Swaylocks, you can see lots of different craftsman working with decorative resin colors and designs. But, the guys in Gene's shop are at a whole 'nother level, friends. The eye for color, pattern, design are really beyond anything I've seen crafted by others. This is like Theodore Van Gogh trying to sell his brother's paintings and no one has caught on yet how brilliant they are. OK, maybe you guys should ride your Coops and enjoy their craftsmanship. But, if I were you (and had the resources), I'd keep one or two on the wall, away from UV light, in a cool temperature controlled room. In a few years, those wall hangers will be able to fund your kids' college education and down payment for his/her starter home. Those that you rode and dinged, well, you'll probably be able to trade them in for a new car. I envy y'all. CoWaBunGA |
