Surfboard Tracker online system has taken the Surf Industry by surprise

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 16 April, 2008 : - - The SBT system was first trialled in the UK by Peter 'Chops' Lascelles via his popular Beachbeat Surfboards label eighteen months ago. Following on from this, Surfboard-tracker has been featured on the on BBC News Worldwide Service, T.V, Radio and other media around the world.
 
Such is its popularity shapers across the globe are all getting in tune with the system. More, recently, Local Motion Surfboards produced boards for high profile surfers out on the World and Australian tour with the SBT system. SBT has certainly been capturing the imagination of surfers.
 
SBT is ideal for shapers with the expected economic down turn. Manufacturers are seeking alternative ways to increase or even maintain their boards sales. Many of which are competing against the mass producers of Eastern Asia. SBT is for board builders who are looking for a differential who want to add an alternative technology to their boards.
 
SBT adds value. It authenticates the brand at source, 100%, it sets up a communication link with shaper and surfer. Delivers inventory control, and offers direct marketing opportunities at no additional cost. The service is extremely cost effective costing less than 1% of an average priced surf or snow board.
 
When a surfer registers his or her board he receives a personal message from the shaper giving the precise size and dimensions and everything else there is to know. This information can be transferred to other shapers to produce boards under license and keep tabs on what has been produced, fantastic for managing licensed shapers.
 
If a shaper uses the system to its full potential as Local Motion, Beachbeat, Viking and others it holds great benefits. More recent, Henry Lelot, Shaper of Hyper Boards and President of the Shapers Society Brazil, of which has over 400 members, has incorporated SBT into his shaping system and recently discussed the process with it membership at their last general meeting. Assuring them that SBT is the future for surfboard production.
 
Shapers using SBT can reproduce surfboards just by advising the shaper of the SBT implant number and picking up the information from the system, great for travelling surfers who use the system to advise shapers what boards requires in advance of a competition or surf trip.
 
This system benefits everyone who surfs, professionals, groms, surfers of all levels, Surfers are the industry's life and blood, SBT is for surfers who love to surf. Anyone can use the system it has no boundaries.SBT has a fun side and a serious side.
