Blank Snowboards : Affordable and Unique
Posted on Sep 05, 2011 with Comments 0
Most snowboarders would know the concept of blank snowboards since this is not something new. This concept came up because of the demand of most snowboarders in coming up with high quality equipment at the right price. Because of the popularity of the sport nowadays, producers and manufacturers of the board came up with high costs to seize the opportunity and the high demand.
The outrageous high price for a single board today entails so much wasted cost added to the price of the board itself. This includes the graphics overload, the corporate overhead, the brand name, professional sponsors, and the markup when it finally reaches retail stores. You do not have to be rich in order to indulge in the sport. That is why the proponents of the blank snowboards made snowboarding affordable and easily available to many since they do not want to have anything to do with the crap of expensive production while not compromising quality.
The blank snowboards were dream-come-true for the makers of these boards as they were trying to put up a snowboard company. This took them lots of time of mountain testing and several models later to perfect what they wanted. They wanted more than just the average and were also determined to sell it at an even greater price. They created boards that can hold up against the top brands currently available in the market where the buyer can still set aside huge savings. Because of their love for the sport, they wanted to make great boards and will spend quality time doing it. Hence, Rob Foy, together with his friend Benson Miller and professional snowboarders Jason Murphy and Brandon Bybee founded the Blank Snowboards. They are not a company selling on wholesale and retail stores but as a part of their pledge to cut on costs for the sale of the boards, they only sell to the public directly. Orders can also be placed online.
The idea of coming up with this concept is considered a great innovation. Because of the high costs of marketing, commercial products now comes with a high price tag where not everybody who wants to try the sport can easily afford them. The most essential thing in joining the sport is being together in fun during the rides and the use of the top brands doesn’t matter at all. What is vital is giving the snowboarders an enjoyable and affordable pastime, hence the provision of high quality and reasonably-priced blank snowboards.
