Has anyone purchased one of there boards before? and how do people rate their quality?

Cheers

Well its obviously not a "major brand" so we are as ignorant as you about the "quality".
Probably if you are a learner & the board is big enough to float you & its really really really cheap "go for it" especially if they are throwing a paddle in as well.
Would have to be a great bargain though as you gotta factor in resale value
Good luck on all these "big decisions"

I am using a Sunny King paddle (carbon/kevlar) and am absolutely stoked with it.

After owning QB and Kialoa, I'd never pay that sort of money again when for half the price, the SK is both the best paddle I've owned and excellent quality.

Can't talk for the boards but if you are buying a paddle, you can't go past theirs.

they have just released 2 new boards a 12'6 and and a 14

I'd like to hear what others think about "resale value" because I don't think there's going to be much difference between the two.
Say you buy a new Naish, Starboard or (insert name of Co) for $1500+ then buy a paddle for $350+ so you've spent $1850.
Or buy a Sunny King or some other "no name" brand for sub $1000 and more than likely score a paddle too.
Then go into a shop you've bought your big name brand sup from. Are you going to get more than a $1000 trade in?
May have lost $500.
So use the Sunny King or whatever no name brand sup and then sell it on Ebay or the classifieds for $400-500.
At this price it will realistically be snapped up by a budget focused buyer pretty fast.
Not a lot of difference and you may still even have a paddle and even a bag that you got with the cheapie.
I'm not trying to argue in favour of cheap brands simply saying that I don't think the difference in resale value is much.
