wow. that stuff is really really bad. i do not pay to advertise ones name. i love to see the names on the inside, but please don't banner my couture with your logo.
but the clothes that come in the same pattern in two colors are way too... Only a attention whore on the beach would be in those head to toe patterns..
I love my fashion, I love my couture, but I love my surf and I wouldn't be seen with a Dior board. Just the lil socialite teeny boppers will be seen with those boards just to get noticed...they probably can't surf anyways... It probably isn't sturdy anyways, just made for style.
Instead of buying some logo crazy poorly made board for so much money...I rather add in another 1000 and get myself a custom made professional board.
This isn't an insulting downgrade to the Dior house....this is an insulting down grade to surfing.

Don't knock something until you've tried, or even seen, it.
Dior isn't ****.
Dior things are very well made, and there are strict quality regulations, so I am pretty sure that the surfboard lives up to these as well, and they hired the best people to make them or whatever....even though the couture logo-whore surfboard thing is really dumb/trashy. They're by "special order," anyway... although some Dior boutiques may possibly have a few set up on display.
Anyway, just don't automatically judge something when you don't even know from personal experience... :\
Dior should have a wide range of products and that's the practical way of doing business now. If the quality is not bad, why not have a try at everything and I think the surf collection is chic and stylish!
