Certainly the price is a wealth redistribution plan... as is any price, but as I've proven over the past 20 years I'll put up with extreme hardship in order to keep building and riding boards so your theory of payola as the sole motive doesn't fit. No doubt you are one of the many in the herd who object to extremely highly priced items with 'ridiculous' prices, but you can't change the fact that such items exist. As for trolling, that is not the case I am only here because my boards were being discussed, and am answering posts as I am surely entitled to do. No doubt you'd like me to depart so that you can defame me without consequence but that won't happen. I defend! . .
You started this thread.. Nobody else. You're here to get people talking about you... No other reason.
In the town where I live that's what I'm called, by the Maori population, for obvious reasons... but I usually say that I'm actually his cousin. It's true that many here don't understand what they are seeing.. in fact non surfers often see more clearly than those who have swallowed the 'kool-aid'. .
I refer you to Clemson's request (quoted in the first post) that I start this thread... I arrived a couple of posts prior on the 'lame surfing products' thread simply because my boards were mentioned there. .

So you mean to tell me you are trying to sell surfboards to people who don't surf? Rich people didn't get that way because there are stupid. What kind of kool aid are you drinking? All you do is talk in circles
You are mistaken, Roy is of sound mind. It seems that you are incorrectly assuming that rich people don't surf, and that I think that they are stupid when I have said exactly the opposite here. Regarding talking in circles I do no such thing, although others here used circular logic and other fallacies of argument which make conversation tedious

I've sold lots of boards, plans, and kitsets to surfers, and none so far to non surfers, although I have no objection to doing so. You should do a course in set theory. .
Good luck my friend. I think those boards are cool, too bad your board making abilities don't mimic your marketing strategy. I saw "the worlds most expensive" surfboard, I'm just wondering who dicided that. Do you have it insured for a large sum? I guess my claim is its tough to make something then decide the value yourself. Maybe if your boards become some craze and you have a couple of boards that were originals they could be worth something but just to claim something is worth that is crazy.
Man! Is this winter slow or what. I can't wait to get to Costa Rica next week. Maybe by the time I get back, Stuey will have sold one of his boards to Warren Buffet & then he can chill the f*** out on this forum.
Stuart's a chattering Kiwi nutjob. Accurately label him a walking, talking, shaping, wave riding, toxic spew of psychologically disturbing swirl in the most clinical sense of the analysis. Pick one, pick several.....BPD, narcissist, bi-polar, just plain off his meds, perhaps partaking of just a few too many island sheep (wouldn't crossing the line there amount to just one sheep?) or massive 'shrooms when he was in his 20's. Bottom line: Stuart will run this thread for months. His capacity for spewing BS is endless. The only thing that will give us a rest is if the thread is locked (see: Swaylocks & Grainsurf) or until Francis in Alaska, aka, Costco Closes at 4 or Crusto4 or whatever his moniker is, ultimately goes bananas with his bear-in-the-front-yard stories & snaps. (EZ, Francis...just kiddn!; given your vibe, I felt the need to explain that to you....lighten up, Francis!)
I like the way you think yankee.. Could be a little something this weekend, I think we all need to get wet
The Makaha 12-9 at The Point yesterday: [video=youtube_share;YbQu0TRL40s]http://youtu.be/YbQu0TRL40s[/video]
That looks really fun but I could do the same thing on my $600 Bing Dharma. Not sure why I would want that board if it's not gonna improve my surfing. I always comment that most of the waves I screw up are not the wave but me trying to over surf the board and out run the wave. I could easily hang back and cruise on any of my boards.
