There’s a sense of pride that comes with ownership. Whether it’s a home, car or rosemary bush, there’s fulfillment in knowing that it’s yours. In the current ailing (and slowly improving) economy, the major investments (planes, trains, automobiles) may be out of the question, but a smaller spending spree — say in the $750 to $1,500 range for a new board — may not be out of the question. In fact, you’d be doing your fellow citizens, shapers and shop owners a favor by “stimulating” the economy. So, don’t wait any longer. Figure out which board suits your style and implement your own Economic Stimulus Plan in the form of a new addition to the quiver. —CM
