if its an import it could be from the uk or usa that will put the price up. we get it alot in our shop we have a bear in our shop that is the equivolent of $1250 aus !
Chip that is pretty well the same price as at the mctavish factory . outrageous. how can it be justified . maybe if every board was shaped by bob from go to whoa.A mate just got a billabong ,js 6’6. set him back $650au. thats 100 bucks a foot for machine shapes. hand shapers should charge 150.
its a shame really, i love the rails/foils that paul hutchison does on the takayama/bear surf boards out of the byron factory. also the resin tints and pigments are probably the best i have seen in australia, although this particular board was just sprayed with paint. when i saw the fish it was pretty much perfect as far as what i like in a board. just not worth that money. i have checked out their showroom a couple of times and there are always some japanese customers hanging there which could explain. Beau is big in japan …
