| 223351 | 11440 | Molded, Reverse Engineered, Handshaped by One Only...WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE TO YOU? | 79 | Bruce Fowler | Oct 14, 2021 | 2021-10-14T10:25:41-0400 | Artz, That is a very astute observation! For the last couple years or so I've seen guys in Ca offering a payment plan for their surfboards. Mainly guys out of or around Huntington Beach area. That would be an accounting nightmare for a lone wolf operation like me. Other than subcontracting glassing to Haakenson, I'm a one man operation. The same held true when I was approached then ended up doing the equivalent to a business start up for the Stoker V Machine. No one helped me....... that grew from me building 100% of the boards in my garage. It was such the burn out until I could make the leap to send glassing out. My education was in Business, Engineering & Physics. That leaves me ill prepared to deal within the numbskull world of dealing with what makes surfers tick. My only saving grace on that is being a surfer myself since that fated right slide @ the Sand Bar in 1959. Now I think being a "surfer" means something entirely different than then. I don't even know what 'that' means now, to be quite honest. |
