What a beautiful piece of equipment. I like the decal/reference on the tail showing sail sizes and corresponding fin sizes for the board

I wouldn't mind guessing the whole board is a decal either way its one hell of a nice looking board

2000 euros , with 2 fins (Select S1) and dakine primo straps. Made in Britanny (which is a part of France). Add 90 euros for the L one.
For the record, French "official" price of a Starboard iSonic Carbon 2013 is 2.350 euros.
At current exchange rate, 2000 euros is around $2830.

Fullcarbon prepeg construction, they intend it as a niche market for people who want a properly built board without all the fuss (marketing, sponsoring, new range every year) that goes with main stream brands.
They have one model, which is a slalom, and three sizes L,M,S (130,115,100). They might be thinking about a XS one, but the first 115 are barely starting be available, and the first 130 is fresh out of the Mold.

I wouldn't count on it ever being available in oz...
