Surfers are worse than women about changing their style and
appearence..ie their boards. Fad surfers have to have the latest
greatest styles, or the coolist paint or geewhizbankthingabob

You can break a board, and you can tear one open and sorta kinda
waterlog the core with some effort..but its nearly impossible to wear
one out.

off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.
