where does your board come from..

reply from a big UK board maker, to a job application....

"Hi Robert,
Many thanks for your enquiry and interest shown for surfboard production.


We are sorry to say we do not have any surfboard production in the UK anymore.
All our surfboards are made in the Far East. Due to the competitive industry we could not continue to manufacture products in the UK.
All our product range is now produced overseas.
We unfortunately do not have any positions available.
Many thanks for your interest."

when you buy the cheapest, machine made popout surfboard, think about who made it, the craftmanship, and who's job depends on your purchase, and what you are doing for your local community.
