    hi again...

    I believe your board are way too expensive for Europe, mainly because of the exchange rates you apply. The diference is aprox 20% overpriced.

    699 € board with fins + 60 € footstraps + 60 € front & rear pads+ shipment 80€ aprox = 900 € ....which means 1228 US $$ !!! ....and 1.463 Austrailan $$ !!!

    You position yourself as a premium brand...but take into account you can buy a F-One fully equiped board for 800 US $ (600 €) retail price and discount not applied... or a Cabrinha 2010 foam+epoxy fully equiped for 850 US $


    you are a top surf brand but a newcomer in kite, where you have to proof your strength & flex performances to the market.... kitesurfers in general do not know your brand yet, and you need to penetrate a new market, a market where for 500€ we can buy locally in Europe a polyester/epoxy custom board with inserts, fins & straps included.

    I respect your pricing strategy, but I believe you should reconsider exchange rates applied between different currencies

    i already have a FW surf board that I love both to surf and to kite, but taking into account a kite board's life is much shorter than a surf board, my final decision is to wait...

    good waves & wind

    Thanks for your comments, pricing and packages with extra pads/straps to be adjusted shortly.

    Please keep in mind no other vendor has our technology, thus we do consider our boards premium above all for that reason.

    Please contact the Europe vendors or FW directly to help direct you to the Europe vendor for pricing.
