The "Hyena's" of the Surf Industry...

Any company who takes the sport of Surfing and exploits it to make cold hard cash, hand over fist is considered the hyena of the surfing world. They tend to have NO surfboards for sale in their shops and are teaching NO one to surf or about surfing. They truly embody the scavenger nature of the hyena. We picked this particular company since it is the most obvious but there are plenty more like Bealls outlet, any "mall based surf shop as well as places like Jc Penney, Belk, Berry etc. Yes I know, all of us have shopped at these stores but why don't we as "Surfers" support the core shops that promote the sport as well as teach newcomers how to surf? Be careful where you spend your money! You just might be paying for somebodys' yacht that wrecks, pollutes and crowds the most isolated areas of the surfing world. Think about that and visit your local friendly surf shop that in a wholesome way supports this wonderful sport of Surf & Skate.
