$155 for new Chinese imports

I got one of these surfboards, which I believe is made in same place.

So far, very happy with it. And since its epoxy, its very light for an 8 ft board, yet strong.

Yeah I did. The quality of the product is, without question top notch. Both Inland Surfer and Shred Stixx have boards manufactured in Asia, and this rivaled those. Only a few small issues, but that would be associated with a large scale production facility. The downside was that what I ordered wasn't too close to what I got

I think that for a single board order, like I was playing with...it's a great way to throw away $155 If you were thinking of manufacturing and you could get on top of those folks, so that what you order is delivered, you could get your costs down relatively low for a good quality product.

I won't pursue it any more.

Got any pictures of the board? Did you surf it?

I think I may have taken pictures of it, I'm not sure. I'll check at home. It was pretty nondescript as I didn't ask for any artwork. It was basically just their effort to send me a sample. I ordered a 4'6" board and got a 6'2" board Only off by 20 inches, so dang close. I didn't ride it, I tried to get a refund and return the board and they said sure, send it back and we'll refund your $155. So, for a shipping fee of $250 bucks I could get my $155 back.

I sold it to a buddy down in Santa Cruz for a C note, he's the one that made the killing.
