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

Case

Hey Case,
I doubt there will be any F-One boards in Aus this season. There were none last season.
Unless maybe you can get a group together and we can convince them to bring some in.

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.

Hey Casey,
I've been riding a 135 Traxx for a couple of years and I reckon they are the ducks gust. Very under rated.
If you give me a call I'll arrange for you to have a ride.

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!

george up at adventure sports in noosa has the 2008 trax. he also has a 2007 trax board too but you cant buy that as I am likely to buy it tomorrow.

look like great boards. I am testing it out tomorrow.

will also be trying the bandits and north evos while i am there.

give him a call on 0754556677. I am not affiliated with the store other than he is doing lessons for my son tomorrow.

cheers

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!

Sorry for the bum stear everyone! The site is www.kiteboarding.com NOT the site I mentioned above. Worth a look!

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... ?

Thanks for the advice. Im not really sure how all that would work any way. How do they enforce the payment of the GST?..

I have since found a good deal locally on a Dos and 08 Trax.

Thanks for everyones help. Will make sure that I post again after my first ride on Trax under the Dos.

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.

If you wanted the 08 trax I have one in stock and im not over seas,just at noosa. The new trax is aflash looking board and rides nice.
have fun
GEORGE

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.

Hi guys
Good news the bandit dos has landed and its pretty sweet. Rode the 14 in light wind today and used it with a student to test it out fully.

Stocks are going to be really limited in this first shipment so you better be quick. Demo 14, 12, & 10 available.
Cu on the water
Have Fun!
George
