I think this was answered once and if so please forgive me. The new boards that are posted here. Are those glassed near the Harbour Store vs those glassed at
Waterman's Guild? The reason I ask is that Rich said that there would be no new board postings because it was 30 miles away and it was just not feasible
with gas costs. Since that time there are new board postings. So I dont know if that is a picture of glassing behind the shop or the pictures are coming from
the Guild. Thanks

Joe, The boards are glassed off site, The boards being shipped will not be posted. they are shipped directly from the glass shop it is not feasible to drive to
the Glass shop snap photos drive back and post the pictures. The boards being picked up at the shop by customers are returned to the shop from Watermans so The
shop is able to take Photos when they are delivered

Given the technology of digital photography, it would be a simple matter (easy for me to say) for the guys at WG to photograph the boards and email them over
to Rich (or the shop) to be included on the 'New Arrivals' page. I know I get pleasure out of seeing these boards and it helps me see what color
combos and board design ideas really look like, rather than what my brain thinks they'll look like.

I do not think it is fair to ask Watermans or Harbour to do this, How well would that work out. They would have to offer the same courtesy to all Shops that
they Glass for. Then they would have to have an employee take care of that for them now instead of Glassing, sanding, polishing, packaging, or shipping....ect,
ect, ect someone would be snapping Photos and emailing them all over How do you justify the wages. It sounds great as customers but do you want to pay for this
service on top of everything else. We would have to. Now of course I have no say in this matter I just have an understanding of how things flow. Now how much
would it cost well it could be just pennies but with the way the world is I would guess it would be more.

Todd me man, thanks for the response. Im sitting here 1000 miles away looking at pictures of the new boards on the site while Watermans and Harbour people are
working their butts off to get these things out..I know for a fact that the Waterman people sent me some shots of my board in progress that took about 2 weeks
for them to process and figure out how to do that..They glass boards. They are not into picture taking..Some people are there and get shots of Rich doing their
boards. I am fortunate in that some glassers have just taken a liking to me and wanted to do that. Which was really special to me. Thanks again for all you do
for us new guys..jb
