Hey dudes.

Know this is like asking how many holes on a crumpet..

But generally where are new boards released and available for sale in Oz.?

After a new board for Hawksburry River race, nor sure If I should buy now or wait.

I would wait for the 2016 boards as you will get better resale and its always nice to have the latest equipment. Weather you believe it or not the marketing hype will come out soon on how 2016 models are another 10% faster than last years. It shouldn't do but it would do my head in if I just spent big $$$ now and in a couple of months heard that. That is the reason I am waiting (and I am hoping SIC release the narrower V3 Bullet which is on the SIC Maui custom pages).

I think its roughly September/October they come available.

I feel sorry for the retailers with the 12 month product cycles on these boards.

2016 gear is coming soon and it's looking great also but sadly for you there's no V3 Bullet hitting production.

Not to mention that most 2016 boards will be 10-20% more in price than 2015 models

Due to currency reasons?

Good point. DC's and deeps and other smaller Aussie brands sales should go through the roof if they can keep producing for less than the big 4 international brands
