Why did they stop making hulls?

All I know is something about conflict of interest , And they may make more money on the stickers!

That explains only releasing several eclipse models to a few select riders...
Their site says they will move the operation to the graphics facility and resume sales in August some time

That makes no sense. About 2 years ago DKjr moved and separated from the Ski Clinic........... Not sure what is going on here....... Makes no sense.........

I'm wondering when that link says they are closing doors for their fiberglass shop I'm wondering if that is composites in general or maybe just closing doors on fiberglass hulls and will solely be graphics and carbon comp skis?
And it would be a shame to close doors on ski clinic when they have all the OEM sitdowns to work on and not the PITA aftermarket's. I'm sure they get burnt out with all the competition and all the people who bargain shop. Maybe they just want the business of the elites? Lots of different possibilities it could be, time will tell I guess

This is not Ski Clinic. That is a totally separate business and location.

I understand ski clinic and hurricane are separate businesses. I didn't know how far the door shutting was going, was it just hurricane, part of hurricane, or will they be closing SC as well in the near future. Or will they just solely operate SC and offer graphics and competition hulls there when needed similar to how they started off. There hasn't been much information out there except one page saying conflict of interest and DK Jr posting on Instagram he was closing doors because he was unhappy working all the time and wanted to start over or something down those lines. Sounds like two different reasons and not enough information out there yet. Hopefully it was just a growth reason and not anything negative happened. Would like to know more, I also started off on a BOB and always a cool bunch of people.

Hurricane (or what ever they call themselves) and Ski Clinic split completely a while back. One has nothing to do with other.

Well I went up to visit them earlier this year and I met them at one location where they had the OEM skis and they showed me the location they do the graphics and AM builds next door so not sure what the name is of each shop. I figured that was ski clinic that I went to and DK designs or whatever Jr calls his shop was right next door. All I remember is that Senior and Eli were always over at the larger shop and DK was in his own smaller building next door. Maybe Hurricane industries is the larger shop I saw all the OEM skis and the smaller shop was DK designs (Jr's shop). As far as what they called each location I don't know, I just know they had two locations and wondering what is their plans in the future as to which location(s) is closing/going under different management or whatever they are doing.
