Roger Hinds’ 40 year mantra, “Built by One Pair of Hands” was challenged last week when his glass shop closed.  In today’s episode we discuss the new economics of board building, why some surfboard brands have outsourced manufacturing, how that has affected the surfboard industry in Southern California, and what’s next for Roger Hinds Surfboards.
