Went by to get some fins and it was empty in there. Hardly any boards etc.
They getting ready to tank?
I guess that only leaves Surfhouse in H-town

I have been a customer of soundwaves for 20 plus years and I went there a few months back- a large surf shop 60 miles inland in texas combined with a record store doesnt seem to be an ideal match for the location in montrose. I think its a rich dude's hobby....and he could do it somewhere else ...smaller and cheaper....or sell his land to a developer for millions and just retire....also....ya know...the internet is killing that kind of business for sure

I was in there a couple of weeks ago and met Jeff. He said business was really dead after Harvey and has been slow to come back but they are slowly increasing the board inventory. They let the inventory drop to 4 boards at one time.
People don't realize the impact Harvey has had on business. I have an IT biz and growth really slowed after Harvey. I know a restaurant that had to close because their business dropped 50% and didn't come back. I took the family to Carmelo's on Memorial near Dairy Ashford about 2 months ago on a Saturday night and had maybe 6 -8 tables occupied. It should have been packed on a Saturday night.
So, don't give up on Soundwaves and stop by occasionally.
