A wonderful interview. Given all the challenges the surfing industry faces it was great to get ‘behind the business’ and hear how it works day to day. The focus on quality at CI was comforting to hear especially as someone who buys the company's boards in Europe, where my friends and I often ask are we getting as good a board as a CI US made model. Sadly this relentless focus on quality products has been lacking across many other brands in the industry for decades and no doubt partly explains the problems faced today.
Use to live around the corner from the Merrick's...Moved to Maui with my family and left Carpinteria. I'm so proud to see Britt's success with his churches and faith as well as shaping boards and the joy it brings to so many at wherever your surf level maybe. I remember being at the house with Heidi when Tom Curran to Kelly Slater showed up and so on. Love to your family!!
Nice one David, great questions. Britt seems like such a legend. You can always tell how good a company is by how long the employees work there and they seem legit.
