everything is all fairly discounted. If you need some sweet new piece of fibreglass, then go here and grab whatever you can.
email him or drop on in, but help Ben get rid of a few boards.

Ben is such a legend - shame to see him close the doors.

Hang on, hang on, where’s the rest of the quote? That is tantamount to an offence.

Didn’t actually indicate I was into it... devil is in the detail

Got to be careful what you bastards read into things.

p.s and I should have put ‘you’re’, so I have.

I saw the site late last night before heading for a sleep...I, albeit only for a second, thought I should post a heads up on realsurf but quickly went into seige mentality and thought bugger that, everyman for themselves.

I now know why people get trampled at the boxing day sales !

Too bad Ben has to sell up. I guess the tentacles of Dripping Wet have strangled the business since they opened up shop in the Swiss Grand. Man they sell a lot of boards

He did mention that he was trying to keep six ounce going in another format (whatever that means) so it'll be interesting to see what comes of it.

I guess Heritage surf in Manly might be getting excited at the opportunity to fill the gap.

yeah there is another shop in the works. same sorta deal, but not 6 oz and not in the same space. Go the red bearded pirate.

dripping wet selling a lot of boards is a bad thing because they are selling them for all the wrong reasons, just to undercut good honest people like Ben and others. They are satan's helpers and they all deserve to be tazered, John especially.

Can’t say that I agree or disagree, but I guess I disagree on principle.

No one is forcing anyone to do anything, if for whatever reason they want to sell volume at a lower margin or provide a better deal somehow I would have thought that was just economics.

From what I have heard from various sources 6 ounce prices were right up there for presumably premium items. If you can’t sustain your market then maybe you don’t have one?

DWet are selling lots to make lots to service lots of debt.

Good for them sure. They hit a gaping hole in the market at Bondi. Thats business. I just like people who are prepared to build up a small and left of center business from scratch. Ben reckoned they were catering to different markets but the reality was different.
Its interesting how many less mals are getting sold at the moment compared to a few years ago. Bondi is full of quads and fishes. Even more now Ben's selling off his stock at a cut price. There is some really ugly surfing going on with punters not getting the idea of how to ride these boards and girating from the tail until they stop moving and fall over
