We found a Quote on the net today " just found an old receipt from 1994. (un-named brand) $435. this was my favorite thruster and worth every penny. at the time is was a good $20 more than any other board i saw. i rode that board to hell and back. snapped it in 2..dowled it and fixed it...rode it for another 4 months snapped of the nose in the infamous windansea shore break ( south side) on an ill fated right barrel to the sand. duct taped it and got a couple more weeks out of it.
that board was magical and i would gladly pay $700 for that thruster again..
So we started having a discussion today about new surfboard prices...
lets see the math. So average price of a new shortboard at DIVERSE is $660. lets say it lasts for 1 year, ok how much has it cost you? $1.80 a day... yep half the price of a coffee or 2/3rds of a can of coke!
You all know about our 50% trade in for 12 months dont you...? So lets do the math again. $660 for a new board then if prices dont go up in the next 12 months, your back for your trade in... another $330 later your out the door with another newie!.. so total spend for 2 years $990= $1.35 a day! ludicrous.
keep that going for another year... $1.20 a day....
The moral of the story is this...
life is short.
Your life as a surfer is even shorter.
