Have been looking for some websites to buy some gear for an upcoming indo trip.

Just wondering if anyone has recommendations, either a physical store (Perth) or an online store?

I am all about supporting my local shop as long as pricing is reasonable but when it comes to items being marked up 400% simply for the joy of having to go and pick something up off a shelf, I baulk a little. Yes I realise the real estate costs and other costs of doing business here but I don't think I'm on an island when I say that Aus pricing seems a bit out of control.

I found a wickedly cheap site for boardies surfgeardirect.co but they seem to have nothing else and I need some essentials like rashies, leggies and a couple of new board covers.

Has anyone had any luck with Aus or overseas sites they have actually used and that arrive within a decent period of time?

It seems that for other sports like running/cycling, there are some really good sites from the uk like wiggle.com or chainreaction.com which offer free postage if you spend enough which isnt too hard with their prices. Is there a surfing equivalent?

I just havent been able to find much apart from surfstitch which isn't really cheap.

Maybe it has something to do with licencing arrangements for surf gear?

I know that Bali seems to have some authentic stuff for reasonable prices if you look hard enough too, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

$60 for a double bag?? sounds epic. Was that from the Osb Park disposal branch?

Thought I was doing well with my 3 pairs of phantom boardies for $50, but thats a steal.

Had a gander at the websites, they look good.
Cheers for the suggestions

Sorry that should say $160 so i edited it

I agree with Tux regarding Surfstich. They really can't be beaten for service. They even have a reply paid sticker if the sizes are incorrect.

3 Pairs of boardies for $50 is good, that will be hard to beat

try these local perth online/shops

Just a follow up on this
Phantom boardies arrived from surfgeardirect.co

Was a bit suss as there was a bit of a delay in getting them but they came from overseas which makes sense now given the about page.

My mistake re the pricing though it was 2 pairs of size 32 for $50 not 3.

Still am stoked at that price.
