At Formula Fun Foam Surfboards, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality, American-made surfboards that offer an exceptional surfing experience. While our boards are crafted with premium materials and superior craftsmanship, we understand that shipping costs can be a concern for many customers. In this blog post, we’ll explain why our shipping fees are necessary and how we ensure the best value for you.
Part 1:
Why you might be seeing cheaper shipping somewhere else
The Hidden Cost of Cheap Surfboards
Many surfboards on the market are made overseas with cheap materials and lower quality standards. These boards might have a lower price tag, but they often compromise on durability and performance.
Compromised Quality
Many overseas boards use inexpensive materials that can’t withstand the rigors of regular surfing. This often results in cracks, dings, and other damage that diminish the board’s performance and lifespan. When you opt for a cheaper board, you might save money upfront, but you’ll likely end up replacing it sooner than expected, which can be more costly in the long run.
Short Lifespan
Lower quality standards mean these boards often don’t last as long. Substandard construction techniques and materials contribute to a shorter lifespan, making it necessary to replace your board more frequently. Investing in a high-quality board from the start can save you money and provide a better surfing experience over time.
