the throat cuting begins.
I couldn’t have stated it better.
OH Lord have mercy the final bloodletting begins. Another dreamer’s slow and painful demise.
…with Citibank announcing 50K employees being cut, it will be interesting how ALL this plays out.
I don’t know if we can call this a ‘natural’ weaning process as the circumstances are far beyond the norm, and Darwin’s Theory immediately comes to mind.
As I have said before, and once again, maximize with the minimum; this is no time for delusions of grandeur.
Good luck to all, and GO SURFING…it’s the only thing that will keep you sane.
Actually 56,000 CITI jobs! This was the second round as I have friends who are affected! Pretty scary ecomony. I’m getting great foam and insane service. No matter what (discounts, cheap seconds, etc.) I’m not switching it’s like the Clark days but I think the foam is even better! I’m selling fewer boards so I want to make sure my quality is perfect!
Go with what you know…give heed to your gut. Just Foam has a good rep for quality so people should act accordingly…I’ve had terrific results with the Walker Mowses foam…joy to shape, great cell structure for glassing…doesn’t squish with high performance 4 oz glassing…nice 'n white.
Whatever is working for you means one hell of a lot, especially now…but really…ALWAYS!
There’s no substitute for quality.
This could be good for my personal surfing. My employer announced Friday that 5-6000 with be tapped in January. That would give me a lot more time to surf, er, ah, um, I mean network and look for jobs.
Here’s what people need to start asking themselves:
Do I need a new car every year? Every three years?
Do I need a 4 bedroom house now that the kids are gone?
Do I need all the crap in my garage that doesn’t allow me to park a car in it?
Do I need designer sunglasses, perfume, jewlery, clothing?
What gives me true joy to own and use?
Hint: a custom surfboard that offers stress release, the opportunity to soak up some vitamin D and drop a few pounds and get my blood circulating.
Simpler life I like the sound of that! Real happy with the Aust. foams made here! All those years of experience (like Gruby) !
…if it works, it works, it works…
In the end…there is always body surfing…a man could be born, learn to walk…make his way down to the beach, swim out, and catch a wave.
No board
No wetsuit
No fins
No trunks
…how pure is that!

I guess that depends what those 50,000 people do with their new-found spare time…
who knows, maybe they’ll become surfbums, they can’t stay in their multimilliondollar homes or keep the porsche&hummer…
So hippievan and board, spend a year or so in baja… hrmm…
sounds good…
Hey c’mon Porsches get pretty good gas mileage.
But I like the rest of it.
Up will go used van sales.
Sunshower sales will soar.
Coleman company will see a surge in camping equipment, tents lanterns and related goods.
Lots more batteries purchased, and a few gas generators (to the fortunate few).
…and the good part, quivers of boards to play like heathens in the sun.
Sounds like good religion to me!
Thanks to all who have already taken advantage of the Sale! To those who have not… you still have 3 more weeks!
Hopefully your sales will help stave off a “California Foam Bowl” similar, and rivaling the great Oklahoma Dust Bowl!
I can just see myself loaded up with tools and templates and whatever blanks I could muster…all stuffed into an old jalopy truck like Jed Clampett…hopefully Daisy Mae and the dawg haven’t dumped me!?
