No More Pro 90


Looking through MBS website, it looks like they have dropped the Pro90 from their lineup. The Pro lineup is left with their three signature boards (Kirkman, Leafe, and Robbins). Its such a great board, I wonder why its not available anymore.:puzzled::puzzled:



what I fly/ride:
19m Flysurfer Speed 2 SA
12m Flysurfer Speed2
6m Ozone access xt
1.5m Ozone imp trainer

Between 2009 and 2010 there was a bit of a spike in mountainboard prices (cost of production, transport and warehousing costs).

2010-2011 saw more Trampas coming into the US. A bit of a rise in Scrubs too I believe.

I think 2010 was when the Kirkman, Leafe and Robbins boards debuted.

Mountainboarding/kiteboarding is a niche market and people hold onto to boards for multiple years.

Thinning or maintaining the same total count of items in the product line is not unreasonable... especially in the still less than rosy economy.

No matter how great a board is, it costs the manufacturer money to keep them in the warehouses if they are not flying off the shelves.

ATB,
Sam

Its understandable that they had to drop the line under the circumstances. In the scheme of things I would think that the line up they have probably supports every riders needs. I'm sure that there will be enough of them floating around various sites for a while for anyone who wants one.
