bollox!! gear in VIC is EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE !!

SA is the place to buy from.

I recently bought just under $5,000 if kit for $1,200 from Adelaide.

Drove there and back in one day just to snag it.

VIC is a RIP.




Nasi,

Didn't you buy that kit on eBay? If so, I doubt you can claim that SA is cheaper. I was under the impression that WA was the best place to buy cheap kit, but I know a couple of people that have compared & found that local shops were better priced.




Advertised: Ebay

Location: Adelaide

Courier Method: Me drive there and back

Tried the local shops and and obviously theres massive profit margins charged, as with all surf/ windsurf shops.

Show me a shop in VIC that will sell 3 carbon masts (2 fibrespar 460, 1 NEW North Wave 430, 5 North/ Gun sails 2009 from 4.0 to 6.1, 2 of which never used with receipts in bags! and a freeride mistral board in top cond, 2 2009 booms, 2 seat harnesses, 1 waist harness, 3 UJ's, 2- 50 cm mast ext, pair of size 10 reef boots!! a bottle of fctor 30 sun screen!!, board bag, mast and sail bags, and equip bags for less than $5k aqnd i'll take your point as valid

yeah, I did asked and was sorta talked out of one. The funster fin is only pretty short anyhow (28 sound right?), so I only have this (my centreboard will hit anything first)

Connawarre sounds good.
No little red wiggly creepies in there I hope......
