boardworks? parcel was 7’ long to accomodate both pieces of the longboard? By jove Watson, was it a bisect???
Spot on, old chap! Blimey, Holmes, you never fail to amaze me. Rich Harbour would weep if he saw what is being sold under his name… Andreas
FYI, the Boardworks “distributor” in Santa Cruz… 1) lost it’s distributorship with BW months ago, yet remains a “defacto” distributor with the inventory it had/has. 2) has/had nobody named “Ron” working for them past or present. 3) does not have a website from which to sell boards It could still be a Boardworks board, but it wasn’t sold by the “former” western US Boardworks distributor based in Santa Cruz.

The ding repair photo I saw looked so shabby… (how shabby was it?)… it was SOOO shabby that some lunkhead at the shipping company might have done it. I think I know why Mike Eaton has that cool trailer that he cruises around with delivering his own boards personally.
I never thought that I would put something like this on this forum but when one feels as strongly as this about an issue, you need to get it off your chest. I had to read it twice just to make sure what I was reading was meant the way it was written Ron! your quote “You sound like any business person’s nightmare” sounds like you do a lot of bad business. I am astonished that you would nock a fellow surfer so badly firstly after he has bought a US product and secondly because he is from Europe. I should actually be thanking you as statements like that will boost local shapers all over Europe. You have dealt a heavy blow to your local surf industry. Grant UK hobby shaper
Kinda says a lot about the problems the US has with the export market and everything that flows from that. Case in point, the auto industry; “No, we can’t make cars with the steering wheel on the right side - you guys will have to change your roads”.
I think everyone is entitled to his/her opinion. What is bothering me is the way some have been vocalizing their opinions. Telling someone to go to hell doesnt seem the mature way to tell someone that they dont agree with them. This BB was initiated by Mike to bring people together to help one another. I hope in the future those who have forgotten will remember that…
