severne sails

Thanks for the tips. The choice just got a bit more difficult.

Boards

OES
SSD
Manta
Dweller Designs
Nude
Riders
Blue Juice

All making nice customs in Aus (Apologies if I missed somebody)

Sails

Severne and KA, Australian owned and designed, made in China.

Booms and bases ect - Hydrodynamix


I think it is great to support these guy,s if possible, and that is the decision I have made, but it not as straightforward as that. There are also a great bunch of retailers and importers that need support as well, who,s profits stay here and who employ Australian Staff.

So what I am doing now is supporting the local custom builders by designing boards and getting them to build them for me.
I help out KA with design work, then all my other equiptment and accessories comes from local retailers.
Sort of trying to spead the Love!!! Bad joke.but this way I am happy that I am supporting the local industry and australian jobs as well as I can.

Recent online shoping has me thinking... How can I keep my hard earned in house?

how much of your total spend is windsurfing kit?

Why not buy Australian food (potentially fresher) and Australian beer (better than shipping foreign water)? It will make more of a difference than $2000 on a board

Fair play if you really want to support a custom dealer but resale is poor...
