yeah - i can see your point - but he lucked out and won it so its his to do whatever he wants with it.
Just a point for JayBee: I was actually looking through the manual of a mate who had just purchased a new board and i was suprised to find that with windsurfing gear - any warranty is apparently void once you sell the board - regardless of if its used or not. Its a bit s$*t, but something to remember.
Peace.
I think you will find that the law in Oz says that items have statuatory warranties.
"The law says that all products supplied to a consumer must be fit for the purpose for which they were supplied.
Whether a product is made or sold with a warranty or a service is offered with a guarantee:
the product must be fit for the purpose for which it is supplied; and
the service must be carried out with due care and skill and any materials supplied will be reasonably fit for the purpose for which they are supplied.
A manufacturer must stand by its warranty and make reasonable efforts to ensure spare parts are available, unless it took reasonable action to notify that spare parts would not be available. If a supplier provides a service, then the materials supplied must also be fit for any particular purpose made known to the supplier or the result desired to be achieved and must be of a quality that will reasonably achieve that result."
Its the law, which is why I mentioned that the board has to be "legitimately" imported, because then you are on your own.
