Surfing Waves

I was looking to buy a new shortboard, a friend told me about ocsurfboards in devon, check out their facebook www.facebook.com/oldchapelboards they've got the sickest boards and designs, pretty cool, think I'm going to get myself one of them, the guy is pretty sound too. Think he also does repairs, and mainly performance shortboards, heard a couple of them won contests???? Anyone what do you think?

I'been surfing all my driving days and I'm http://www.ripsurfing.com . . . I ain't heard of them - sorry.

no, I read they started out a year ago, but are doing really well.

What I know about them:

They seem to be looking for free advertsing.

Maybe, but that's not a crime, if you've got it, flaunt it. How do you think other people get well known? By hiding away? Still think they look awesome and there seems to be a lot of jealousy towards them out there. The guys are good, you can't deny that

The boards look good you are touting them hard and only by looks, a board should be judged by the way they ride!!
They are certainly not hiding away, you are doing a first class job of promoting them.
No jealousy, genuine word of mouth is better than frothy advertrolling.
Get one and write a board review compare it with your current board and others you may have ridden.

Get this, I've just sent a message to a few of the costumers, they all seem really happy. Have you looked on the facebook page? If people keep going back to him, there's a guy there who's surfing them in New Zealand, then it's not just looks but also ride well. The guy in NZ had them made especially to travel with him. By the looks of it he makes custom, to suit you, you don't just go in and pick a board and pray it rides well. Lets see

Oh and that's how they got bigger, word of mouth, he made the facebook page after someone told him it was worth doing it

I've looked on Facebook and read the reviews there, but I am really curious as to why you are promoting them so hard when you were asking what the boards were like in your first post, for a guy that was thinking about buying one you have a lot of sales pitch.

Hmmmmmm, might get to viral campaign level.

I'm not a guy, I'm a girl lol. I just don't like it when I see something good and people diss it without even knowing a lot about it. Only asking if anyone else knew them, not if they were looking for free advertising

Sorry gender wasn't evident, no one was dissing the boards just the fact you are so keen on them and are putting up all the answers, it is just like so many other advertrolling campaigns.

Still rates a hmmmmmm from me, get one, go surfing , forget all the other stuff

To be honest the boards may or may not be good. It's neither here nor there
Your post just sound likes you are trying to promote a mates brand/buisness we seem to get quite alot of your kind of postings on here these days.
Perhaps if you'd approaching the forum owner and asked if it would be ok to do some advertising rather than trying to backdoor a freebee route you may have met with less suspiscion?

I've just done my research over the weekend after my first post. I'm only putting up what I found. Yeah I'll def get one, prob ringing this avo. And will post back the findings

Enjoy the smell of fresh resin on your new board, why not get down if you can and take some snaps of the production, talk about what you as a female surfer are looking for in your board and how these guys ( assuming that ) fulfill that for you.
There's a lot of guys posting their opinions about boards etc, why not a girls point of view?

That sounds like a good thing to do. There aren't enough females out there posting opinions about this. I'm about to make a change lol looking forward to it

I spoke to the guy this afternoon, he is called James and his wife run this business. I'm going to be popping in some time this week to have a talk about what I should get, but we think it might be a control point. I asked if I could have pictures of the board and of myself in the bay, whilst board is being done, ad he said sure! So I will be updating regularly until I take the board in for a surf, might be in three weeks time as he's got quite a lot of orders in front of mine.
Excited
