However, make sure it is exactly what they want which is why custom is better because you can tell the photographer what your surfers want rather than trying to push off images that really weren't made for that group of surfers.

I agree sarah....but I think going all custom rightaway isn't feasible for me - and I don't have the luxury of putting 40k right now. I can get some custom, but can't make it entirely custom. Although, depending on how well it takes off and how long it will take to cover it's own bills - I will gradually add custom content. Before anything takes off, I will have a panel of discerning people view it to get their feedback. Hopefully it's favorable.
I do agree with you and everyone else saying go custom - if you have the bucks to spend - go custom all the way - I know the bigger ones that have boomed from the start, that was their key.
