No wonder the sport is reducing in size, who can afford 2-3 boards at that price.. for me to make a board at home it cost about 1k. Used to be $500-$600 per board.. that taking into acount it's expensive for me as i buy in small amounts and pay premiums. Like painting a board, say 3-4 cans of paint. that's another $70 or so.. if i dont use it all its wasted..

i'm still using the epoxy additives i bought boards ago..at some point i'll break even.

I am always very sceptical of weight claims, anyone can make a 4kg board. But lasting? For jumping too? In waveboards see the best 6kg fail and the 6.5 kg last better. I see those manufacturers who use CK over wood (like Patrik, RRD and Tabou), and they won't sell out to the weight chase, definitely have better longevity.

Building waveboards for heavy guys has been a revelation - where you think you beefed it up still fails after 2 seasons. Its still foam on foam with some brittle fibre....... and 2 tonnes thru the heels on landing. (cite source: Me. I saw 20g's on deliberate flat landings in the Gorge, so 2 tons thru 2 heels for a 100kg bloke is a practical guesstimate..... )
So you put more stuff in. Change processes etc. A 4kg DW board is fragile and ain't treated like a WS board. 4kg slalom boards get negative rocker just from flat water fastness.

So I call BS / prove it lasts.

Now easy to drain foam? FARK YEAH and every manufacturer (bar Appletree lol) is going to want to know. What is is?
