Ita not the asian market that going to destroy austalian shapers, factories and shops . Its American labels . every second shortboarder has an American board. Look at the mid length forum too. They are not supporting local shapers- its mostly the american boards
In fact longboards are the last strong hold for the aussies.
Sure they are made in australia but at what cost to the local shapers and industry
While everyone has been going on about asians the americans have slipped under the radar
