remember when you were a beginner and didn't have a clue what board you should ride?
it's called "the take away" often effective but it can blow up in your faceQuote:

I think more than half of people learn the hard way, but hey its only human!
I never really bothered with it. I bought two or three boards when I was a beginner that didn't work for me and I just sold them to other people (and got my money back). I don't think it's wrong to sell someone a board that may not work for them, just don't sell it to them for more money than they can turn around and get for it if it doesn't work out for them.
that's why you always have to have a full pipelineQuote:

A true measure of your character is how you act/who you are, when no one is watching.
