G'Day everyone!

Was wondering if anyone rides a F-One board? Or can commend on them. Im looking into buying a TX, looks like will suit my style of riding (wake / free).

Also can anyone recommend any stores that stock F-One gear? Im upgrading to a Dos this season and am having some difficulty finding a good deal. Want to get kite and board in one hit.

Cheers

there were a couple in Fiji with us, Boards that is.

the new Trax is very very very nice, looks too nice to unwrap.
should be on mantlepiece.

Thanks guys,

Im not real close a computer at the mo so cant reply as offen as want.

Im looking at getting a dos and TX imported from US. might even save a few $$ in the process.

Any one know any about crazyfly boards? or does Cardboards Tempo compare? I know Ive changed the subject a bit, but want to order dos and board at same time and if I cant get a Trax or TX looking for a similar board.

Thanks again!

Thanks again all!

Found a good site www.kiteboarder.com where you can order your Dos for US$1500 (about $200 cheaper than anywhere in Aus I have found) and they will ship it to your door in two weeks for FREE! Wont ship boards due to size limits though.

Im putting mine on order tomorrow!

I'm pretty sure you're up for extra bits:

+ Gst on value exceeding $1000 : $175
+ Declaration processing fee: $48.85
+ Bank charges: $44
+ Freight to your door: $45
+ Insurance: ?
+ value of your time stuffing around
+ no local support

.. additional ~$300... ?

The kite will get caught in customs and they will ring you or send you an invoice for charges such as GST and fees. You will have to fill out the customs declaration forms and most probably have to research the correct tariff codes which can be real confusing. Then if you select the incorrect tariff they will probably make you pay duty and other charges.

Any one thinking of doing this, just buy from your local dealers in Australia.

Thanks for your help everyone!

I've got my Dos and Trax on order now through Glascraft in Adelaide and M8. I wont be able to ride either until X'mas though!

Will be keeping a keen eye on the forums for everyones feedback.

Cheers
