cornered market???

[tilleryrat]

Am I missing something, or has Hydroturf got the market cornered on mats? Just with a brief search I only found jettrim and sano, both with very weak websites. So it's kind of hard to tell what exactly they offer as competitors. So what is stopping someone from producing this material in mass and selling from the east coast? Granted I know nothing of how it's produced, machinery, expense, difficulty, etc... (And I am not bashing Hydroturf in anyway shape or form, I ordered b-stock from them yesterday) just curious!

:question:

I have actuallu noticed that too and considered making my oun product.... I just know nothing of the process of how to make it!

i have an idea that would change how all mats are produced. if only i had hundred thou or so to get started..

i think its more because it has become a household generic name with in the industry kinda like kleenex, band-aid and such.

well their new underpad is simply waterslid foam pads. End of season go to your local waterpark and I'm sure you get them to give you a few that they'd probably be throwing out anyway.

Not sure that is what you'd want.

Why? Also I'm talking about the "plush" white pad, not the old style pad....

*note link might not be the same but my local waterpark uses the same EXACT stuff as HT. By summers end they toss that stuff out and is good enough to use on a ski.

Mod on a budget.
