It is too bad that the journalists have sealed our fate before we’ve had a chance to decide on our own. I’ve been gone in London for a couple months and am soon to return to a decidedly different California (in terms of surfboards at least). Anyways, I wish that investigation would actually be put into these widely read publications, instead of doomsday scenarios without all the facts. There are many possible futures here, and shoddy reporting saying pop outs are the only way from here on, and that custom surfboards are extinct, doesn’t help the average consumer STAY AWAY from pop outs. Oh well, I’ll stop ranting. Can’t wait to see ya’ll back in the water. Respect.
