stick with australian shapers,chinese boards do nothing for our board industry,there is a list of aussie shapers doing fine subs on this foruma black eye for imported boards.
I've paddled one and they go pretty good. Strength is very good with no rail damage to be seen. I would say they are a little on the heavier side compared to Naish but $$ is much less. The deck grip works well but the fins that come standard are pretty crap. I would say they would perform similar to the 7s Uberfish as the outline, rail shape and rocker line are pretty similar.
They are made in China and imported by Trigger Brothers as a cheaper option for beginners.
Thanks for the advice. I've ended up going with a demo Oxbow 9'6" (I used to have an NSP and it was time to downsize - mind you the Point Cartwright rock wall has already downsized the NSP pretty well!!). One demo paddle and I was hooked even though I fell off half a dozen times in the first 5 miuntes. Forum reviews seem to rate it pretty highly too!
