Tesco's are taking over the world!

OMG its happened!!! I said in another thread a week or so back that if surfers do not support the British surfboard industry then we would all be buying our board from Tesco or online.

Yeah TWF are another one of those Chinese imports -"Signed by each individual Shaper" apparently. Poor Kuang Pen Ren, he's 14yrs old, he lives above a factory in China, he gets up in the morning at 6am goes downstairs to the shop floor, whips out his piece of wet & dry and starts sanding down a TWF board. at 12 he breaks for 15mins for a bowl of rice. Once he's finished he whips out his we & dry again, spits on the board and continues sanding until 6pm, where he stops, goes upstairs & falls asleep until he wakes up again at 6am. He has no proper safety equipment and spends all day breathing in fibre glass and epoxy. He's never seen the ocean and hasn't got a fleshin' clue what a surfboard actually is.

Surfers (in the most part) are mellow, well travelled, dudes with great respect for their enviroment, surroundings and ther cultures. I only spent a month in China & surfed WatWat and a few other breaks, but I managed to see some of these factories, they are everywhere. I saw the same in Thailand, Bali, India, everywhere.

We are surfers, don't feed corporate companies. Support the little guys. Tesco do great brown sauce, but don't let them fleshin' up Kuang's life. He should be on the beach looking at chicks & getting barrelled not stuck in some grotty factory for the rest of his days.

You have a choice, you can make a difference, you are a surfer - act like one.

Rant over. Peace.

The catalogue was delivered to my house today. OMG yes I no a tesco catalogue. It's almost as bad as woolworths catalogue. The board isn't the only thing wetsuits aswell. The World of Surfing is taking the supermarkets by storm.

If Aldi/Lidl/Netto start sellin boards I will leave the country Lol

Thats not value, not at £250. Why can`t we as a community see what we are doing to our own country, allowing all these big companys sqwish out the small traders. We can only blame ourselfs for being lazy 3asteds.
Thats my rant over.
Kower bunger dude.

As wolfie would have said. Power to the people.

[eastcoaster]

yay!!!

support ur local surf shop.

see if you can take that board back to tesco and get a refund for a ding... do u get clubcard points?

[thaya]

sorta related to this... I was browsing through my housemates new argos catalogue while eating tea and I saw what looks like a sh*te version of an indo-board for a very expensive price what's the world coming to? I didn't get through it all, so I don't know if they sell surfboards too, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did...

I thought I'd have a look for a travel alarm clock, but out of 1000s of pages, they only had 3 they all looked cr@p.

The worrying thing are people are going to buy that Tesco surfboard as their first board.They probably will not be able to surf on it properly,and not make any progression on it,and it would put people off surfing for life.

Then again,some people might think that is a good thing.
