Album Surfboards

[paunch23]

Thinking outloud here… if boards are north of the $900-$1000 range, then whats the price for used boards now? $500?
I’m guessing people are gonna keep their boards longer and ride them to death? Less rotation?

i’m all for paying shapers what they deserve, but i certainly won’t be buying as much.

New Varial Sunstone: $1050
Used PU Sunstone from Album: $900
Makes sense, right?!?

The guy does make some fun boards, and i have 2 in xtr, but there is also the "set the price, no matter how high, and they will come" effect going on.


High prices attract people/interest for some reason.

On the other hand, I just ordered a 2 tone resin swirl, pinlines, volan glass log + an eps twin with fancy colors from an east coast shaping legend for $1300 flat

That does kinda make sense! Charging like 300-400 for colored rail bands on a clear PU seems a bit opportunistic tho.
supposedly he’s got like 8 mouths to feed, so I guess he’s tryin to get it while he can. I’m sure BYU college tuitions ain’t cheap

I keep seeing repaired fin box of a now now board model listing for $450-$500 and they seem to eventually sell.

$500 is the new $300 in used boar from any big-brand (CI, Lost, JS, etc) shaper.

I've sold boards for 500-700 thinking wow they're never gonna sell at that price. Then....

I sold a used white pu/pe album at 50% markup from what I paid for it used after surfing it regularly for a year or so. duu was ear to ear to get it for what I sold it for.

the surfboard inflation through Covid was nuts! we will see if it was transitory soon enough it seems...

the rarity of a used album in dims for the user really sets the price.

[Goodfish]

This looks like a LOLO.

 

[Sauce]

Idk if I would've put my logo on that

Is he Mormon? Not that it matters.

 

[tedshred5]

color me curious abt this one. looks like it'd be a good "cheater" shortboard. wonder how it differs from the Disorder other than the nose. love the beak nose with the reasonably pulled in width, but not too pulled in

Yes, he is

it's a curious outline. I felt em up a couple weeks ago. narrower than expected, but still thickness down the stringer and under chest; tail is fairly wide. Guy said he was surprised how well it paddles. Surprised no erBB ride reports yet. If a used one pops up on CL, I guess I'll let you guys know what I think. LOL

I think a 5'10-11 x 19.5 x 2.5 one would be right up my- I mean your- alley

I find it a little insulting that he doesn't text us with dims prior to making a c list purchase
