Why are Surftech boards so expensive???

interesting to note that surftechs are now being discounted at one of the local “bigbox” surfshops.

it appears, and this is unsubstantiated subjective personal judgement, that the enthrallment with the “new technology” has reached a saturation point. further, and this is also unsubstantiated subjective personal judgement, that many of those who were riding surftechs the past couple of years, are now showing up with new boards made locally, which are either poly or epoxy.

just saying that’s what i’ve been seeing.

“that many of those who were riding surftechs the past couple of years,

Well theres also the possibility of trying an ST shape and then going for the real thing ( from the shaper hand made) later on down the line - I own a few STs along with original Mccoys and each have had a time and a place where theyve been appropriate for the task at hand - I’m glad I was introduced to the shaper via the ST version first though.

 

I do agree that for a hand made thing - surfbaords are incredibly good value for money - where else can you get a custom made to measure item of a similar value - not a suite or a pair of shoes for that money.
