Fcuk mate I'll buy the matching hand-bag, jewellery and high-heels because I'm over the 500 metre paddle just to get out the backmical wrote:Did you buy that new dress to go with your 8'6" like I suggested Hatchy?

You'll definately have to send in a pic of that.WANDERER wrote:next board will hopefully be a Tyler 'Point' model bought in person from El Segundo...
Nice!! Given the current dollar you could buy one cheaper from the man himself, rather than a Southcoast ghost shape.WANDERER wrote:next board will hopefully be a Tyler 'Point' model bought in person from El Segundo...
A Southcoast ghost shaped Tyler was $2,500 AU last time I was in Quicksilver Torquay. At an exhange rate of 91 cents to the US dollar, based on $2,300 US, you would pay an additional $27 AU for a board shaped by Tyler. Hmmm.....grimshine wrote:Last time I contacted Tyler about a custom craftsman I was quoted about $2300 US for the board to be shipped over here. I think they retail for a bit under US $2000. I'd rather an Aussie made for the price. Have to admit though if I was going overseas I'd be bringing back a Coop, Bing and Tyler for sure. C'est la vie.

Yep & glassed with rice paper!Hatchman wrote:^^^
I wouldn't buy any board from a Torquay surfshop.
They are usually ridiculously over-priced
A lot of boards from Noosa and Byron aren't too cheap either.SDA wrote:Boards in Victoria are generally priced higher than other states anyway. I have only ever purchased one from Victoria.. the others I've owned were from interstate (1 Noosa, 2 Byron Bay, 3 Nth Beaches Sydney and a GSI.. shhh don't tell anyone!).. and now the latest batch are from Hermosa Beach, California.
