That's right, Aquaskinz can now sell their Surf Bags and Accessories for less because their costs are now less. Aquaskinz as a company has been growing. At this point they have grown enough to manufacture higher numbers of products resulting in lower per piece costs. This week Aquaskinz released their 2007 catalog and pricing. Materials are the same, Quality is the same, Prices are less.

Aquaskinz has always had a controlled minimum pricing to protect the small shops from internet and industry giants. For 2007, instead of raising the prices they were able to actually drop most of their prices. The following is what we, as consumers should be paying.

Large Surf Bag (double row) $95 Medium Surf Bag (single row) $78
Small Surf Bag (reg height) $43 Small Surf Bag (tall version)$47.50
Large Belt Pouch $23 Small Belt Pouch $27
Wader Belt/Back Suppport $20 Black Thunder Gloves $20

***NEW Wader Belt w/ Velcro Adjustment $10.50

Though I definately have a relationship with the company, I tell you what, put the Skinz Single Row Bag at $78 next to the single Row VS, Bronko, Canyon, BW etc. It don't take a smart man to see where you should spend your money.
