Found this on Stab http://stabmag.com/features/let-it-rain/
CI spokesman Travis Lee on how much his team riders get: "For each Proton (Dane's signature board) we sell, Dane could probably go out and buy a slice of pizza and Coke, maybe even a side of ranch dressing to go with it. I feel the (money) is secondary. Our riders are just concerned with getting good boards under their feet. Even guys who aren't on the team have seen the importance of this. During Andy Irons' first world title, he ordered a bunch of boards from us and ended up winning something like three contests on one board. 'I did the math and he paid like $US10k for Merricks that year but made $US90k in prize money,' he said. That's a great investment."
In my eyes not much money from CI. For most guys it is clothes and other side industries (drinks, glasses, and etc) that provide the most $$$.
