How important are GRAPHICS?

I work PT at BIG, if you need snow we got it. Goes quick in the summer but still doable!

I understand how important graphics are as a selling point. Honestly for me im more about the shapes and tech but more shape than anything. I feel like signature boards should be exactly what a pro rides, from graphic shape, to width. Everything that the pro has. say he or she rides a 155 that board should only come in as a 155 and the exact tech. A pro model to me would be where you would get different sizes. Like i said before im shape its been a long time since i bought a board for the graphics or for the collectors aspect. If you put say a spring break powder glider and a kazu kokubo pro model in front of me i would pick the glider. Just for the shape and simple graphic. One thing i had a hard time with making boards (for a company that ran out of smoke) was he would take his lowest price board throw a new graphic on it and raise the price 200 bones. Same tech and shape just a new graphic and the consumers would eat it up. So at the end of the day as a business i would say graphic are important. One board I would absolutely buy for the graphic if i could get my hands on one is the Ride reaper wolf warpig.
