Build it or Buy it?

I've had my eye on a 9'4" Bing Elevator. If I buy it I will have to trade in a nearly new 10' longboard and kick in an additional $400 to $600.

If I build it, it will have to be a true backyard build as in built in the great outdoors with the sun, heat, humidity and bugs. No indoor space to work on a board that big. (Unless Smokey and Spongebob know of an available space) I figure the build cost to be about $300.

Haven't made up my mind yet. Stay tuned.

you are going to buy/build a long-board? isn't that anathema to your pathetic personal surfing creed?

Hey, don't worry, scro. There are plenty of tards out there leading really kick-ass lives

I will be keeping my dogs so they can warn me when the starving hordes are coming up the hill so I can turn the hordes into dog food so I can hunt game with my hunting dogs so I do not have to eat the starving hordes.

Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:
'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.
If the American people ever allow
private banks to control the issue of their
currency, first by inflation, then by
deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property - until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.'
