I wish this guy promoted more Aussie boards - JS, DHD, Maurice Cole, etc.
He says something in this video along the lines of: "even though it's tempting to talk about quiksilver, billabong and all the problems the surf apparel industry is having, we should focus our attention on surfboards and the people who build them, because they need us way more, and thats what the entire surf clothing industry is built on - surfboards"
I'm paraphrasing, but you can see it at 1:55 in on this video.
true its a hard industry to survive in but our passion is always grassroots boardmaking and dealing with real surfers day to day and dropping the planner /squeegee whenever its pumpin like yesterday
He made me ride a different board everyday so he said it was research. That and i was sent up the road to Maccas on my skate board to get lunch..
Rod, give me the acetone any day 
your work experience was awesome
Love to quit my job and go do a months work exp like that
