FAQ: " Why are Power Surfboards so expensive ?? "

To this frequently asked question the short answer is that the boards are so highly priced because that's what one has to pay to get one!However this quote from Anvilfire.com should put things in perspective:" For the average self employed craftsperson to make a living in North America in 2003 they must charge a shop rate of at LEAST $100/hr. I will not go into the detailed breakdown but if they charge anything less then they can (and do) end up making minimum wage or less. A master craftsperson should be able to charge more. Their education is that of a doctorate, a Phd. or equivalent. No matter how it was obtained, their education cost them time, their life's blood, AND money."
