That's because Cope&McPhetres/BoardersParadise/Wakespace only give employees their "floor" price (MSRP) minus 20%. Everyone knows how high their prices are, right? Well, even with their employee discount, they still pay more than going into a small, local shop. I would avoid doing business with them as well... ZERO of the money filters back to the wakeboarding community from their profit margin. Plus they're horribly run. Nelson may have been one of the best wakeboarders of all time, but he really is not the best guy around. Let's just say, his goal is to eventually run Cope & McPhetres. He could care less about anything other than himself and his money.
