| 215804 | 10983 | Have boards got even more expensive in the past couple months? | 45 | mightyrime | Aug 5, 2021 | 2021-08-05T15:20:46-0400 | I personally like the idea of the CNC / hand finish combo. But it would be nice to see a price level that reflects a discount. Personally If it was $200 less for the CNC / hand finish vs all hand from a reputable shaper i would probably go for it. I dont know if i have the skill set to tell the difference when surfed. And agreed $1500 in this day and age for something made by hand in America by a craftsman is absolutely fair. Especially right now as rent / gas / food / house prices / used cars / raw materials are all inflating. To the price ,my first custom longboard I ordered was from Terry Senate about 5 years ago. I had no idea what it was going to cost. It was less than $1000 and i remember being surprised at that time and thinking that was very inexpensive for the amount of hand labor that goes into it. Is the discussion more that hand made boards for years were underpriced and now they are fair market value? |
