Those boards are all mass produced and there is no quality control. Hard-core surfers can tell the difference and they can't live with that.

Our systems-built homes have the advantage of being constructed inside in controlled environments under strict quality control. All the walls are built in jigs and are perfectly square. There are also cost advantages to bulk purchases of materials, and none of the building supplies have been subjected to rain or other weather damage in the building process.

A major component of the surf board is no longer available. There is one other guy in southern California making these but nowhere near that volume level. There is a large manufacturer in Australia but they'll never be able to handle the volume in the United States.

It is like taking the tires off cars. It was a real sudden impact for the entire industry including Asia and Europe and everywhere that sells foam surfboards.

One guy came in and bought four and another bought 12 this week.

I think Idaho offers a compelling combination of quality of life and business opportunities.
