Gold Coast Custom Surfboards
Wednesday, April 28th, 2010Gold Coast Custom Surfboards – This video tries to help surfboard shapers and repairers understand what their clients are doing, when using the internet to find their services.
This video attempts to shed some light on the search behavior of surfers, who use the internet to find the products and services they are looking for. It takes the viewer through some of the things that surfers will not search for as well as the things they will search for.
Too often in this industry, proper use of the internet is seriously neglected. Either poor websites or none at all are used. Just do a Google search for a shaper or for surfboard repairs in your area to see what I mean. You will be amazed by the weird hodge podge of results you get. This means that the shapers who are looking for clients, cannot be found by them.
The intention of the video is to help surfboard shapers who are looking for new clients, use the internet to find them.
Gold Coast Surfboard Shapers
Wednesday, April 21st, 2010Gold Coast Surfboard Shapers - Surfboard shapers are difficult to find sometimes, they are too busy shaping or surfing. We try to help with resources like this video
Surfing is such a perfectionists sport, you need equipment which responds specifically to you. Only a surfboard shaper can design a surfboard for you in this manner. Further, if your surfboard is damaged, you really want to get a quality and professional ding repair to endure the shape and balance of your board is not compromised.
This video explains the difference between an off the rack surfboard and one designed by a shaper.

Affordable Gold Coast Holidays – Accommodation
Monday, July 7th, 2008Another costly holiday expense is accommodation. And as luxurious accommodation on the Gold Coast is becoming more the norm than the exception, finding cheap accomodation options is getting more difficult. That being said, you still have many alternatives you can look at which can dramatically reduce your cost of holiday accommodation. Here are some ideas for you
- Loyalty Programs – Many hotel chains and booking services have loyalty programs where patronage will be rewarded by discounts on future accommodation. HotelClub.com has one which we are particularly impressed with. You can use the rewards earned in this program with any of the hotels they take bookings for. Now is a good time to use those points to help fund a cheap holiday. Or if you are not a member, join up today so your holidays today contribute to future holidays.
- Hotel Comparison Services - Use a comparison services to get the best holiday deal, by comparing the rates and current discounts from all the hotels in the area. With our partners Howzat, we have put such a search engin on our Hotel Reservations page. Now is the best time to use such services, as the hotels are desperately trying to win your business, and out pricing the competition is one of their ways they are doing this.
- Accommodation Alternatives – You don’t have to stay in a hotel. On the Gold Coast we have Inns, Backpackers Hostels, Caravan Parks and camping grounds. There are many cheaper alternatives to 5 star hotels.
So the point is, you do not have to make your next Gold Coast holiday, all or nothing. You can tone down some parts of it to ensure you still have your annual break. And there are so many alternatives to “5 star” on the Gold Coast, that accommodation is a great place where you can cut expense without cutting the quality of your stay.
