Reminds me of the old complaint `ou sont les neiges d'antan?' where are

Most of the windsurfing stores that Ive done business with (Puerto Rico,
Connecticut, North Carolina) have all slipped below the horizon in
relatively few years. Bulk (cheaper) catalog sales, plus the natural
darwinian business processes have prevailed.
As a graduate of wooden booms, whose beard is whiter than many of todays
boards, I see CHANGE is the name of the game....... and thats a sport in
itself.
