WTF!?!...The custom Italo Ferreira model pu/pe starts at $635. That's a great price. The suggestion that OSHA regulations are making it unviable for CA builders is not adding up.
combination of rent, OSHA, taxes, make it more expensive for JS to manufacture boards here. Not to mention a quality control nightmare for them. As I said previously they have their own facility in australia where they already sunk the cost.I wouldn't worry about it, this is the thread for writing enjoyable nonsense. At least we are adding some real content to the Beachgrit article.
I just had a look at the website of a San Clemente manufacturer whose initials are coincidentally the same. The custom Italo Ferreira model pu/pe starts at $635. That's a great price. The suggestion that OSHA regulations are making it unviable for CA builders is not adding up. Even when competing with companies leveraging off low Australian rent and slack environmental standards (if you believe Ulusurfer) and developing country Australian wages (if you believe me). JS or DHD custom AU$900
thanks for providing some real content SlicedFeet. Beachgrit couldn't even give us the name of the tagger.WTF!?!
California Real Estate/Rent makes it unviable. Put the industry at arms length?
Even Bed Bath and Beyond is getting rid of coupons/discounts...don’t ask me how I know.
I've gotten about 4 chronics in the past two years and I rarely see others around. I doubt he's making a (pressure) dent.Hawaiian market tainted by Chronic's undercutting business model force Pyzel to set up California operations.
sameWhenever I meet Australians in Ca, I'm always interested in how they got here.
It's one guy who got his feelings hurt.What's most interesting about this is Firewire never got this kind of treatment and this is all occurring while the industry is so busy some shapers have stopped taking orders.
That should give you pause.
Firewire dodges this heat cause they don't have a brick and mortar and they setup sweetheart deals with longstanding retailers in the community. They also flow tons of boards to B/C level pros. Both are the sweet, sweet benefits of having bigger margins than any competitors, even better margins than Wavestorm.
To be fair, domestic surfboard manufacturers have been shitting on FW since they popped out.What's most interesting about this is Firewire never got this kind of treatment and this is all occurring while the industry is so busy some shapers have stopped taking orders.
That should give you pause.
