He probably pays a little bit less. He spends another 150 on the glass and resin. want to throw another 50 bucks onto there, make it 300 dollars in cost a board? ok. so he spends 300 dollars on supplies. he makes 5 boards a week. he has another guy in there working with him, and a few groms running the shop. so just talking gross, his shop and entire operations is making 5X50 (two weeks vacation, right?) 200 boards a year. lets say he sells each board for 1900, we will multiply 2000 by 200 and his is business is making 400000 dollars a year. now take out shop rent, supplies, and paying his employees, all three of them, and tyler is still making a very good amount of money. a lot more then most people in the middle class. and claiming that tyler can make a double 8 0z volan longboard stronger than anderson and aquatech with teh same blanks and materials is just not right. or at least the results would be so small they would be insignificant, IF it could even happen. and andersons with double 8 oz volan clear start at 850. thats half the price. half the price. half the price. see ya. |
