It cost me €400 in materials alone to build a mid-length board.

After having a look at prices of boards in the Us, things are pretty crazy here. Glass boards are enerally 20% - 25% cheaper which isn't too bad and with the volumes being produces here, you accept it. But when you look at surf techs etc, we really have the short end of the stick.

picked up a surftech in maui in sept - same board to buy in europe is literally double the price
with the strength of the euro to dollar now is the time to get boards from the yanks
