has anyone ever heard of or used an isle surfboard ?

I ordered a longboard from isle a year and a half ago. There are ups and downs to doing business with these folks. Ups include: decent price (shipping is reasonable, too) and fast delivery (well packaged and ding-less arrival at my office in about a week). The board I got was well-shaped, paddles great and rides great.

However, the quality of the glassing is poor. The quality of the foam blank ain't great, either. I have gotten tons of small dings where the deck and bottom layers overlap. These dings take on water like crazy, compressing the foam, and have resulted in a couple of de-lams.

Isle's boards are made in China, which also raises some issues. Bottom line, talk to a local surf shop and get the folks there to set you up. If you are concerned with longevity of your new stick, go custom and be picky about the glassing. With money tight, you want it to last, and with the economy uncertain, do what you can to keep your local shop going. I took a risk getting my Isle. I wish now that I had just forked out a few more bucks and gotten my log locally.

 

We didn't? sunday - thursday was solid everyday. If you didn't find waves on the delmarva this week, you weren't trying.

 

shipping for boards under 6'4" for fed-ex costs about 35 bucks for anywhere in the lower 48.
$65 bucks seems a bit too high.

 

And who (in the name of Sarah Palin- ''You Betcha!'') actually hired you? I'd really be interested to know. And by the way, passing the Praxis doesn't automatically certify you in all the states of the Union. It's a benchmark that you have to meet, and then it's up to each individual state to certify you to teach in their state via an application to the State Board of Education. National Board Certification is a whole other hurdle to jump. Have you actually done that? As an English Lit/ Desktop Publishing/ Video Production teacher with 35 years of experience, trust me when I say, Spelling ALWAYS counts, especially when kids learn as much from what you actually do, as what you say.

 

i got a 6' 4" fish for 150 had it for two years and it's still in good shape... It was also a closeout sale but still real fun board for a real cheap price
