I have a good look at your website, absolutely amazing your craftsmanship creativity is mind blowing, great stuff and your asking price must surely take surfboard building to a new level of awareness.
Interesting reading your email, my aim was and still is the big 3 surfing companies dominating surfing and telling surfers that Kelly S 's board was all they need now that is extreme ignorance a clothing company dictating surfboard design for all surfers that is why it has ended up in the situation it is in, no common sense just ego and greed, they got people so off the rails it will take quite a while before it balances out again, but it will !
As for charging too much, no way, if I were you I would ignore the people who do not understand and cannot afford to buy your product, they do not matter, you will survive longer than the young guy who is the latest promotion by the magazines who are dominated by the big 3, Q,RipC and Billabong, what you are doing is far more valuable then anorexic Al Merrick board for $850Aust with a life expectancy of 6 to 12 months, my advice is ignore the ignorant and produce value for money, take care.

Roy,
I don't care what happened on the internet and such. Geoff McCoy is still one of the folks I respect most in Surfing. I also respect that you stick to your guns, produce quality equipment, are able to defend your position. You and Geoff are a couple of those unique individuals that make up the only interesting side of this thing we call surfing. Geoff is right on the money with his critic of the big business side.
Keep doing what you do. There are not many left

Hi Noel, thanks very much for your thoughts. Geoff made one of the best 70's singles I ever rode, his pre no nose/zap boards were exceptional, but we don't hear much about them. We'll keep soldiering on, I appreciate your support. Hoping that all's well in your neck of the woods in spite of the miltary industrial complex and it's shenananigans.
birds of a feather flock together
