The best part of producing quality high performance surfboards is seeing the smile on a customers face. Anyone who has ever been fortunate enough to have a custom board or a new board at all can tell you the sort of emotional attachment that accompanies the homecoming of a new craft.
Even better still, is the smile on a young grommets face when the set their eyes and hands on their new board. There is something about a grom getting a board, knowing that they are stoked about surfing and having fun, not hassling or jockeying/dropping in or having an ego in the water. For example, here is 10 year old Jake Danielsen. Jake is happy to splash around in the shore break sometimes not catching a wave at all, catching waves is just a bonus. It seems that alot of people today including grommets, are losing the essence and the "soul" of surfing. What are we teaching the future of surfing?

Here is young Jake, a little worried D'Arcy is going to take his board back!
So remember not to drop in! The future of surfing is at risk!
