Really, $528,000 for a surfboard? That seems vastly overpriced. VASTLY.

[RoyStewart]

@TomFrankSurfs It's all relative, and the experience is priceless so in that sense they can be seen as under priced.

[TomFrankSurfs]

@RoyStewart Relative to...? If that's $528,000 US. I'm not putting down your idea or your boards, but I am wondering who the clientele is and if you've ever sold a board at that price.

[RoyStewart]

@TomFrankSurfs 1) Relative to income as stated clearly above 2) Relative to the quality of the experience.



[TomFrankSurfs]

@RoyStewart I apologize, I didn't see your other comment about income. Best of luck to you in your business.

[RoyStewart]

@TomFrankSurfs  It's all good, thanks for showing an interest.

[RoyStewart]

@TomFrankSurfs You are very observant Tom. Our most expensive board is currently the Olo of the Sun 19 footer at US$852,000. To put it in perspective that's only a weeks earnings for some people.
