Really sick boards
Jack Nolan said:really :S
they will still sell heaps, but everyone has been demanding the race decks that they give their riders :S
why make new moulds when they have a mold there they just arent mass producing. seems wierd to me.
but im probably ignorant in this area in one way or another :)

Jack Nolan said:its about time s9 released their race boards to the public. They have got to be the suprise hype machinist, everyone has been getting stoked on the release of these since like 2007 on the fish :P
fair enough, but they did start up the scene, and i stand by my point about getting people in to longboarding
I've got nothing against the boards, I could see myself buying one, its the bussiness practice that gets to me. I used to work in a surf shop (not a chain, just a small operator, sold clothes mainly), and was openly told that the only boards they were allowed stock were S9 under their stock arrangement. They still did (I think they had Globe or something) but its the idea that Billabong, arguably the strongest brand of apparel could bully a small shop into selling their Boards solely, in return for stocking their clothes. I think Dave K's had a similar experience....
BTW the shop wasn't owned by Billabong, it was owned by the manager
The Ervan model looks nice
surf shop bro.... its not a skate shop.
skate shops wouldnt do that, i think people should be stoked that longboard and skateboards are even in shops
