The End Is Near?

“According to one east coast shop, all the shop guys are riding pop-outs, order 50 boards and get 120 days terms, and a free round trip for two to oz was thrown in for the shop owner and his wife. Incentives? You have no idea. No way to compete with that. The end is near… ”

Let them go down in a blaze of glory. Sellouts fall hard. The glut of crappy boards into the market will only be there downfall. You can look at it from this perspective also.

Think Baja violence is confined to TJ? Yeah, I did too. I stopped 6 hours south in El Rosario for tacos last Friday, on Saturday there was a drive by shooting at the La Mijita loncheia. La Mijita is popular with locals and gringos and by all accounts was run by generous people. The targets were 3 'self employeed' area men, but the husband and wife owners were hit by stray bullets. The wife just passed away.

Malwitz Surfboards is attempting to raise 2000 dollars for Surfrider by building a board for one lucky raffle winner. Tickets are 1 for 5$ or 5 for $20. Just one ticket gives you around a 1 in 400 chance at winning a new board. Sick idea.
