Does anyone know how the board building industry is going in this recession , second hand Mal long boards on Gumtree & Market place are in short supply so I'm guessing surfers are not upgrading as much ...?

Western Australia is boom times. Everyone is flat out. And from what I here, this is a global phenomenon.

Where in WA? Please point me in that direction. My business has been dealt some nasty blows with clients now sourcing direct designs that I came up with for them. Essentially cutting me out as the designer and middle man. Killer is that I don't have the resources to take on a multi national corp and stop them from infringing on my IP.

But yes, surfing is booming, even the usual hot spots that you can score some nice rides on are now packed during week days.

Yes I believe the surfboard manufacturing industry is booming I've never seen so many people surfing. Unemployment, people working from home has doubled the numbers.

My longboard disappeared into a repair shop two months ago (29/5). I heard today they don't know where the hand foiled wooden lay up fin had gone.
