Get a Board @ Surfboard Tradr
To buy a quality surfboard you need to pay money. They are usually expensive and made by renowned shapers. But – you can save money if you know what to look for…
- Cruise around to the online surf shops and you may get a small discount roughly 10% or $50 to $100 off.
- Think about yourself – are you a beginner? Do you tend to jump into new interests and forget about it 6 months down the track? Well – that means you need to consider the resale value of the item you purchase. If you buy new think of the depreciation of the board when you sell it used with a couple of dents. [Purchase price minus potential resale price = How much you Save in the long run]
- Get a foamie – They are bulky but light so you save on postage and are a good learner board.
- Buy a Pop Out Surfboard – a foam inside with epoxy resin and fiberglass wrap. They are made from pre-shaped molds ready for mass production. They are usually made in the third world and exported to Australia and United States.
These pop out surfboards are made from preshaped molds allowing them to be mass produced in large factories in Third World countries, before they are imported into the US and Australia.
