No one wants to pay for parking.

Surf apps suck, they're generally asking around $10 a month, and they do little more than provide prettified weather buoy data.

_Decent_ wetsuits are in the $300 - $500 range, new board $600 - $1000. I think it's pretty capitalist to let some kook buy it new and then snag it from them off craigslist for %30 - %50 of retail.

This made me laugh, because everyone I know does exactly this for the boards off of craigslist.
