For what its worth -we all spread the word when some crappy company screws us, but for a change I want to give surf sail aust (WA) a plug. Won't go into details but these people went the extra mile.

if you are an Ezzyaholic

ALL the shops in Perth are great, i just wish i had more $$$ to spend

If your after an Ezzy, you go to Mark. If your after a Tushie, you go to Jez. If your after a Kinetic, you go to Ian S. If your after to deal with an honest and genuine bloke (not saying the others aren't), you go to Alberto (I'm yet to try his products). It's all about what gear your after. As for the original post I must agree. Mark has a wicked product. The other reason I like SSA is for the online shopping WITH PHOTO'S so you can decide what you want before you even go into the shop. Personally I think all the shops should have this. Not just a description of the product with the price but a PHOTO as well. That's why people shop at SSA from around Australia without leaving their home and getting on a plane. If they all had this feature on their website's I'd shop there more often. Plus it would make it more competitive. My own opinion. GO MARK!!!

PS Do I get an even further discount on that 3.7 now that I've talked you up?

Alberto is at the Windshack in North Freo. Make sure you go in for a visit because he really knows his stuff, especially about Goya and Quatro. Yes it is a pity that all the shops are south of the river I do shop all over the place. I like the booms at Pelican Point and also like how Reg has his second hand boards on his website and updates it regularly. While we are on the topic I thought I'd give Second Wind some constructive criticism. I think the new website is great but you still have the old format of second hand gear ratings A, B, C etc. Is there any reason why you haven't put photo's of the gear? It would make shoping for the northern boys/girls alot easier. Thanks Jez
