Am taking a holiday to Thailand with the wife in March. Koh Samui to be exact. Being that both Naish and Starboard are manufactured over there can you pick up a new SUP for cheaper and bring it back to Australia?
Has any one tried or got experience of this?

price control = same all over world, more or less. Cheaper waiting for a local shop to have a sale.

Haha, nice one.

I don't think you'll have much luck but it would be sweet if you could. Maybe back in the pre-internet days perhaps.

Hey Bretto,
Nice work! I just came back from Thailand and Vietnam... and I wanted to do the same. Logistically it would have been too hard, but if I had knocked on the door at the Cobra factory in Bangkok then it might have been different. Good luck to you, if you manage to get it sorted over there please tell us how it should be done, I missed out! Travelling with 3 little-little kids made it near-on impossible to take the time to go and sort one for me but good luck to you!
