Hi All,
I am looking for a second hand 14 footer, and will be down in Brisbane in a week's time and plan to check a few out. I have been watching the classifieds for a while, but it is pretty hard to commit to anything sight unseen and then worry about the freight aspect also.

It will be my first DW board, and I think I have narrowed it down to:
# 2013 Fanatic Falcon, 27.5"
# 2012 Starboard Coastrunner
# 2013 Naish Glide

I haven't ruled out a 2014 Naish Glide in the GS construction as a bit of a dark horse, and would love to find a 2014 Falcon at a good price, I will see what emerges.

If you have got last years models gathering dust or are thinking about trading up I would love to hear from you. Please PM me details.

Thanks,
Scott.

Regarding freight - try Peter from surf cargo 0408 448 042. Not sure if he goes up to Qld, but a few guys use him in NSW.

I have a Naish 14FT 23 wide LE for sale at bargain basement price. You will need to be a light weight though. Board is very fast and light goes great in downwind and on the flat.

Cheers mate, I think it is well beyond my capabilities though!

Hey Scotty, I've got a brand new (never touched the water) 2013 Starboard 14'x25" AllStar (Carbon) for sale if you're interested.

If you think it might be too narrow, I saw someone in brisbane has an ex-demo 2014 14x28" AllStar (glass construction?) listed at a bargain price - I don't have any connection with them, but it's a great entry level race board - super stable, quick (for a wider model) & easy to catch bumps downwind.

Cheers, Ali

Thanks Ali, I don't think the 25" Allstar will be suitable though. A couple of other options have arisen also.

Thanks,
Scott.
