Discussing Roy's surfboard designs.

You are correct sir but Charles seems to have a special affinity for Roy's wood.

 

622,222 Large Dells lemonades.

 

Hey Manisses lemon or watermelon? Watermelon all day for me.

 

Roy's surfboard does not warrant 72 pages of discussion.
I actually just watched Randy Raricks review again. I thought it was really well done and fair.
what part of it did Roy not like?

 

Man that's a lot of clickin'...I've got 18 pages here.

Unless you're on a mobile or slow connection do yourself a favor and change the # of posts per page to 40 in your settings. Or don't...life goes on.

 

I like the old school lemon. And I love the 18 year old girl who works the stand.

 

i understand items that may be overpriced or valued based on the eye of the beholder (I just bought a few pair of $100 selvedged denim jeans), but how in gods name does a surfboard cost as much as a new 50+' Viking Express Sport Fishing Yacht... one of the nicest brands of the market? seriously lol...

 

Wow, you've singlehandedly changed my SI experience. Thank you Mr. Magoo.

 

Carter your showing signs of defeat and loss. Only someone who has failed would resort to belittling their foe by making useless and quite classless remarks like what you have said. I take what you say for a grain of salt. This is all about your feelings towards the price of an artistically valued object. Like I've tried to spell out for you, drop the stigma of what a surfboard is worth, defined to you by the surf industry norm surely, pull your head in and get real. Just accept it, it's not a big deal. Just think of Roy's work as a creative artistic expression used in surfboards, a damn nice one I might add.

In the meantime think about your actions and how you may have offended members of the LGBT community with your open hateful expressions. It's really classless friend.

 

while its classless its not really a sign of defeat.

Remember, when Randy Rarick came out and posted a video reviewing Roy's board he fairly explained his experience.
some was good, some was bad.
But Roy went bananas and started bad mouthing rarick and claiming he was trying to undermine Roy's board in HI.

So... by that logic, did Roy show the signs of defeat?

 

I read carters post and he got you guys good. lgbt community get that crap out of here... theres kids on this website. I am a major proponent of business (small medium and large corporate business) and value capitalism, but I cant see how these boards are marketed and justified by consumers. I wonder the complexity of the finance plans, insurance, and warranties on these boards...roy must have a good lawyer.

 

Whoa. While I have no animosity towards that community, but I also previously had no reservations about offending them, especially here. That Chaz Bono really creeps me out.

Hey Manisses, I hear ya on the lemon Dells, can't go wrong. But the watermelon is just so refreshing. Especially with a little piece of the 11,666 1/4's I'm going to buy.

seldom - yeah that chaz bono thing is scary.

 

I never claimed to be classy Charlie Brown. I tried for many pages to use polite factual based arguments but you just seem to ignore it and call me a communist. Please if you are going to use a clloquialism use them right, it's take it WITH a grain of salt not as a grain of salt. You are 100% right this is about my feelings towards an artistically valued object and I am entitled to them which seems to bug the hell out of you even more than it does Roy. The surf industry does not tell me what a surfboard is worth, I own no Merricks, no Losts, no Coils or any other name brand surfboard. All of mine are shaped locally in Wilmington by a small shaper who I would rather support than the mainstream brands. I have never paid over $500 for a new board even though I can buy all of the above mentioned brands, My version of redistribution of wealth as Roy likes to claim is making sure to save for my sons college, have a nice retirement account and leave an inheritance for my child. As I said in the car thread I drive a 2007 Honda accord with 136,000 miles on it. 8 years ago when my son was born we bought my wife a Mercedes Benz ML 350 ($58,000 car) because I worked in the auto lending industry and was around cars all day, and thought they were cool. After 3 years when we traded it in for $30,000 with less than 35,000 miles I realized once and for all "toys" just don't hold their value. My wife and I make almost $200,000 a year between us and could drive most any luxury car we want but as stated choose to spend/save our money more wisley. Yes Roy's boards are a creative artisitc expression and as such open to criticism by the community you need to JUST ACCEPT that! In all truthfulness I hope you make some great wooden boards, sell them for a lot of money, move to NZ with Roy and spend the rest of your days surfing in matching orange jumpsuits.

Oh and too the LGBT community if I offended you please go have a parade.

 

so by those figures... you sell a board once every ten years thereabouts (the million dollar one) or one of the couple-hundred-thousand ones once every few years?

 

You accuse others of something you do regularly.
