Discussing Roy's surfboard designs.

The new and improved SJB ladies and gentleman

 

Hahahaha I literally was just thinking this out loud. It's gotta be. that crafty bastard could pull something like this off. if it is you sjb, props to you for setting this all up. This took a lot of hard work to set this in place

 

Whatever you say Ronaiah Tuiasosopo

 

GMAC doesn't ride Wave Jets because that's what he loves. neither does Cory Lopez. They get paid to...
And if I pay half a mil for a stick it better have a motor!

 

Is the guy marketing these boards as art for wealthy suckers or as functional surfboards that are (supposedly) better than anything out there?

Either way, he opens himself up to judgment. Because anyone charging that kind of money for a product that he claims is either 'art' or 'leisure' or both is going to be judged by the consumer that he's trying to profit from.

Doesn't really matter whether the intent behind the device is admirable or not. Being judged by the marketplace is fair. Those are the rules of the game. Stuart, if he really exists, knows this, as does any businessman. Or artiste, for that matter.

Anyways, it's been a slow winter so at least this topic has been kinda different in this forum.

 

My problem with this guy is that he is ripping people off. Well, that is if he actually ever sells a single board. I have some friends that do woodwork as a hobby, and they could easily build a board like these. Where is the 500k+ going? Is this some rare wood? Glassed with a mixture of unicorn tears? He sounds like a douche who just wants to get rich quick by appealing to some rich idiots vanity. Sure, that rich idiot has it coming if they are dropping that much on a semi functional surfboard, but I have no respect for the person taking their money.

 

Roy = Douche

 

This says a lot about you as a person.
Your defense of ripping people off is that they are so wealthy it shouldn't matter to them? Yes, they may be stupid and wealthy, but you are a douche for taking advantage of that. Your ego seems to obscuring reality here.

Cool looking boards...unfortunately they seem to surf like turd...no way around that. The price tag is so outrageous and performance so limited it would keep any real surfer away...basically he's found a way to separate rich idiots from likely a small amount of their money to them....months exotic long surf trips with a new quiver amount to us. To that I say ...well done...and I am stealing your idea...

 

Fake Roy... post the picture otherwise u full of sh%t.

 

Even a picture can be BS, look no further than the Manti Teo story

 

I asked him to stand on one leg(left) with right foot off ground, holding cup upside down in right hand... if he could find a picture on the net doing that then I'd be shocked. it would most certainly be an original and enough for me to ease off on calling him full of sh%t

but the real roy is full of it anyway... who in their right mind would think any kind of surfboard would sell of half a million dollars. lol. especially one that is no where near as good as even china popouts..
