The Tip is 'Where They're Proud' I recently saw an ad in our local newspaper for a big box home improvement store. Their newspaper ad had USA made products and American flags all over it. Several weeks later, I checked the ad again and sure enough they were still advertising their American made products. It was obvious they are proud to carry products Made in America. Their competitors made no mention of things Made in America. I have been to this store and asked what products are made in the USA? A clerk told me they primarily carry imports. Obviously they are not proud. I now realize you can buy many Made in the USA building supplies, including tools Made in USA and appliances Made in USA., in stores that are proud to carry brands Made in the USA. Here is another example of a store proudly carrying products Made in the USA. I was shopping for men's shoes in a local department store when I tried on three different pairs of shoes. I couldn't decide which pair I wanted so I went out on a limb and asked the clerk, "Are these shoes imports?" The salesman said "yes they are" so I asked, "Do you have any Made in America shoes like these?". To my surprise he said, with GREAT PRIDE, "yes sir, we have a whole line of Made In USA shoes". He brought me the same color and style with the Made in USA label. These Made in America shoes were less expensive, came with a better warranty, and were more comfortable. Looking for companies that are PROUD is simple and can have a great impact on our country. I encourage you to try this some time- just ask. You will love it when you realize you are making a difference that all of us will benefit from. With your help America will be ours again and that is a good thing.

We hand shape, manufacture and test our stand up paddle boards to ensure the highest quality board at one of the most affordable prices available on the market. Our boards are better looking, higher quality, and available for hundreds less than your average stand-up paddleboard that you can find at a local surf shop. Our story starts out very similar to a lot of yours, I am sure. Three brothers who grew up in the water and loved surfing. Like most brothers, arguing with each other was a regular part of our every day, but no matter what was going on, the second our feet hit the water, it all disappeared. I can't really explain it, but being in the ocean just made everything great. It was almost like there was an invisible line we had crossed once we hit the water and it was a different world - A world where negativity and arguments were not allowed. Like most brothers, as we grew up, we went in separate directions. Our connection with the water always remained. When we were younger, we had hoped to make our love of surfing into a career by opening our own board shop. It had always been a dream, one of those things we were going to do, but just never got around to it. In the beginning of 2009, our youngest brother, Jason, unexpectedly passed away. The idea of opening a surf shop wasn't a thought in our minds. Our dream would probably never become a reality. About eight months after our loss, I was out paddling. I suddenly felt a peace and closeness to Jason I never thought I'd ever be able to experience again. The second I came in, I immediately called my other brother and said we need to open the shop - the three of us. Jason may not be here physically, but he is just as much a part of it as we are. This is our story. It's never too late, no matter how impossible or distant the dream. It's Never Too Late. Contact Us: info@threebrothersboards.com (386) 310-4927 |
