Heh retailers, what is the prevalent age category buying boards?

Reason being, if the introduction of over 40's category in flat water and surfing was only brought about because of retailers insistence of that age group buying the most boards then could a case be put forward for an over 50's series of events to enable Sup to have broader age appeal and give an opportunity for those inclined to have an opportunity to compete both in Local, State and National Competitions.

In the age where youth in the sport is quite well catered for, so is the need to ensure that the elders of the Sup community are afforded the same opportunities, the huge growth in the sport over the last few years provides clever companies associated with sup to open new directions and start sponsoring these "aged' events.

The standards achieved in this category would be equal to the other categories.

It is time not only that all the peak Sup Surfing Associations show initiative as well as the Major Sponsors getting onboard to organize the incorporation of the over 50's category on the events calender for 2013,

I'm of the soap box, time for an Friday ale....
