Simon Says. (Simon Anderson, that is)
A quick calculation means 40 WCT pro surfers = 120 - 480+ snapped boards p.a.
(not including the the women tour or juniors). However, at least pro boards can keep their worth if they are signed etc

Breaking Point: Quiksilver Pro France 2011
The Quiksilver Pro France 2011 was full of action this year, as per usual - big moves went down, but not without some big breakages too.
These photographs and video succinctly highlight the paradox currently facing surfboards: on one hand, toxic materials (mainly PU/polyester resin & EPS/epoxy resin) provide the perfect properties in a surfboard that allow high profile professionals to execute the most progressive moves surfing has seen to date, whilst on the other hand they simply snap.
