sad state of affairs indeed

"Hi Robert,
Many thanks for your enquiry and interest shown for surfboard production.
We are sorry to say we do not have any surfboard production in the ** anymore.
All our surfboards are made in the Far East. Due to the competitive industry we could not continue to manufacture products in the **.
All our product range is now produced overseas.
We unfortunately do not have any positions available.
Many thanks for your interest."

Huh, well that sucks, doesn't it?!

See what happens when you buy a board from costco/walmart/cheapo... people lose jobs. it's that simple.
