Someone needs to fire their marketing guy. That's weak.

Just sent an email to starboard with a link to this thread.

Injury, lift a photo.
+ Insult, use a competitors product/rider in your ad.
= weak ass mojo. NOT cool.

Uhh, ohh... here we go again. Notice the two pictures are the same. In the first one, Conner is on the new JL Baby Bombora gun. The second photo is a shot from the Starboard catalog supposedly on the new 10'3".
Oops.

The 1st one was bad enough but you could overlook it as an over worked or exuberant graphic artist.  http://www.standupzone.com/forum/index.php?topic=8260.0 . This one seems much worse...marketing a pic of someone elses board as your own? If true it will be interesting to see this one explained away. It doesn't change my opinion of the quality of their boards but man what a dumb move.

That's what happens when you outsource everything overseas.  Ethics fly right out the window.  Along with trademarks, patents, and proprietary information.

I've already weighed in on this, loudly lol. But it's lame for a million reasons.

They've always answered with "it's a minor change to a photo. But I wonder if he could have put the same board up on its rail like that.

Can't wait to hear why they did this one.
