Matt Wheeler, the swap-meet shopper, felt he had been misled by Fred
the Seatrend rep. Fred was selling a board that had a replacement
mast track installed. Fred fully disclosed this. Someone told Matt
that this board had been broken in half and Fred was trying to rip
off Matt. Well...I talked to Fred who is a friend of mine. The REAL
story is Fred's explanation is true. No break in half----that would
be apparent....just a new mast track. The real culprit is the third
party who was spreading rumors, as is Mr. Wheeler. He was confusing
this board with another that had been sold sometime earlier, with the
full disclosure that it had been broken. Fred is an honest man who
would never stoop so low as to lie about a piece of equipment. I
suggest that before anyone lodges serious charges about character on
this forum that they fully understand their responsibilities.
