sup boards at MEC

Bean had the grey ACS boards. Nice to see them into it. It's the perfect board to get beginners into the sport.

Sorry to hijack the MEC thread.

I had a very similar situation last year with another brand of SUPs . A kayak store about 200 yards from my shop started carrying the same high end brand as we have carried for years.
The Rep never told or asked us about opening the kayak shop. I went and talked to the Kayak shop and they did not know that I was a dealer of the same product either. The SUP company said they need to grow their brand in my area . The thing that made me pissed is the lack of communication between me and the rep and the rep and the kayak shop. Luckily that rep doesn't work there anymore. I have some outstanding reps and I will try purchase goods from them first, just like buying from a friend. We communicate well and ask question about competitors products and it helps to try see the whole picture from both sides.

I mean those surftech boards are complete garbage, IMHO, too long for the surf (at the beach brake at least, and there are no point breaks in Canada) and too short for the distance, and twice as heavy as Bark?

I know of at least 2 point breaks in Canada!

Nonsense.  Everyone knows Canada is all bays, just one bay after another, without a single point between them.  Its weird, but true.

We can have point breaks / lefts / rights / what ever we want - indoors too!

Ya the surf here on the east coast of Canada sucks, those pictures of perfect point breaks in Nova Scotia are all fake. Don't bother coming up here, stay in the States, plus the water is real cold and the frequent polar bears in the line up, make it way too dangerous. LOL
