Oil Prices and Surfboards...!

Just a Few Days Ago, we recieved a letter from one of the Major Suppliers of surfboard materials, informing us of the impending price rises in surfboard materials! Its actually been a long time coming considering how much petrol and other things have gone up over the last couple years. Any way the bottom line is we are going to offer the same or better quality, service & surfboard shapes we always have, Until we do all our sums properly you should expect a rise in prices in October, hopefully we can contain the rise to around $20-$30. So the Pressure is on for you guys to order up those customs now... or clean out the stock shelves before its going to affect your purchase power too!
