A major component of the surf board is no longer available. There is one other guy in southern California making these but nowhere near that volume level. There is a large manufacturer in Australia but they'll never be able to handle the volume in the United States. |
It is like taking the tires off cars. It was a real sudden impact for the entire industry including Asia and Europe and everywhere that sells foam surfboards. |
One guy came in and bought four and another bought 12 this week. |
Those boards are all mass produced and there is no quality control. Hard-core surfers can tell the difference and they can't live with that. |
