Surf Companies of Yesterday Struggle to Catch the Wave of Today's Surfers
44% of today's surfers are new to surfing and demand high quality products for low prices. Yesterdays surf companies risk going under if they do not comply.
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) April 16, 2008 -- The surf industry is changing and so is the average surfer. New surfers, who make up 44% of surfboard buyers, are driving the market and insisting on lower surfboard prices and high quality surfboards. This is becoming a new challenge for surfboard manufactures who for so long have made a living on repeat business and established surfers. At least it has been a problem for other companies except Surf Systems Surfboards. http://www.stokedsurfboards.com
Surf Systems Surfboards sprang onto the market in November 2006 as a voice for the new surfer chasing the California dream. Born out of the frustration of finding a new surfboard at a great price, they started as a small two-person operation. Although growing, Surf Systems stays dedicated to helping the newest surfer obtain a new surfboard for prices below the cost of a typical used surfboard.
Surf Systems has put together a website specifically designed to help the brand new surfer get into the industry. They a offer free 17 page surfboard guide (must sign up for) that help the new surfer learn what they should be looking for and looking out for in their new surfboard, free videos to help them with the basics like, waxing a surfboard and attaching their fins to the surfboard, and relevant articles on everything from surfing techniques to surf etiquette. http://www.stokedsurfboards.com/surfboard-designs-s/61.htm
Here is what one consumer said about the free information on Surf Systems website. "I just wanted to say thank you for putting together that buying guide for newbies, such as myself. I found it most helpful and wanted to let you know I look forward to buying my first board in the next 2 months. I will definitely contact you when I am ready to purchase." - Michelle Lewis.
In addition to offering free advise to new surfers, their main business is selling high quality hand shaped surfboards below the usual price of a used surfboard. They sell everything from hand shaped stand up paddles boards and longboards to hand shaped retro fish surfboard, and even custom surfboards. Here is some of the feedback received on their surfboards. "The 6' 8" epoxy funboard I bought from you a few weeks ago is terrific! Easy to take off on, fast down the line and one tough board!" - Rod Scott http://www.stokedsurfboards.com/longboards-s/4.htm
Although Surf Systems specializes in helping the brand new surfer get the surf gear they need at a great price, they don't leave the seasoned surfer hanging out to dry. "Well I have to tell you how awesome my board works!! I have been surfing for about 30 years and I finally found a board off the rack that rips. The board catches waves very easily and is very responsive. I am really stoked and I will be sending more people your way. Thanks for stoking me out." - Kelly Porter.
With 44% of surfers out there being new to the sport, Surf Systems Surfboards has come along to fill a void the surf industry has been ignoring. Surf Systems prides themselves on being the only online surf shop that talks to the new surf like a new surfer and doesn't make them feel awkward with too many surf terms. They explain themselves in layman's terms and as a result have been able to connect with the new surfer unlike any other surfboard company.
