Grandpa Diatribe

Sooo, seems like sometimes things are made just to fall apart. The wheels of capitalism are oft greased by the fact that some people just don't wanna make quality goods. Take for instance this here surfboard. Over the course of this summer, this thing has received about 15 nasty injuries that another board would easily have avoided. Bad glass job. Hey, just keep sending it to the ding guy, or buy another one...





This one shown here was probably partly my fault. Notice the crack right across the middle. Pretty much can fold the board in half now... makes for better travel I suppose. When you paddle out at a spot where no one else is, you can bet there's a reason it's empty. And in my case heavy surf kills crappily glassed boards. Me so sad.
The lesson I would like to preach- if you make something, don't be greedy- make it to last. Cuz they just don't make things like they used to.
