Excellent choice!

Let us know how it goes. I plan on getting one from the UK for around $790, brand new. They must be doing runouts as they are a lot cheaper than other retailers.

And exactly how does that help. Cheaper right here in Oz with full backup.

PM details of where you can get that deal from and YES KSS will match it.
- delivered door to door - if thats the other deal.
- and including a freeby pressy compliments of KSS for your vigilance.

Offer will have to be as per our regular Australian distributor arrangements - or better.
But in any case $790 plus GST = $869. Thats $10 less than RRP here in Australia.
Anyone can cheat on GST from OS - As Australian businesses we have to pay it.

With the amount of money I have spent supporting windsurfing/kiting retailers in Australia in the last 15 years I don't have to justify my decision. I do understand your point of view. However in my current financial position $50 bucks is a big difference. If either of my two reliable retailers, one whom has sold up, the other does not retail this brand could match this price I wouldn't consider the overseas option. But why do retailers of all goods, (not just kiting), in Australia up prices when our dollar is down but rarely drop if the dollar is strong. As for warranty that varies from brand to brand and I would not expect there to be any problems with the Shinn.

Just lost my North Select, (Slightly over-rated board IMO), and am buying a 132 or 134 Shinn Monk from Nigel at East Coast. Any idea which size is better for 80 kg rider in gusty tropical conditions?

I always ride powered, using my rebel 11m till its consistently over 20 knots, like to go fast, edge hard and boost big. I sail in gusty conditions and weigh 80 kgs.
